A Federal Judge temporarily barred Trump’s Executive Order concerning the travel ban. This has caused extreme controversy among American’s as topics such as immigration, refugees, vetting, and religion all take tolls on the perspectives of the media as well as the average American. Nevertheless, the travel ban has been critiqued as well as praised by different groups and the Federal’s Judge’s emergency order has sparked debate on the constitutionality of the order.

The horrific terrorist attack on the United States that took place on September 11, 2001 significantly changed the definition of freedom in America. This event resulted in an immediate call to action by the US government to protect and defend its citizens and country. The Department of Homeland Security was created to “coordinate efforts to improve security at home, and it imposed sever limits on the civil liberties of those suspected of a connection with terrorism and, more generally, on immigrants from the Middle East.” The country was left feeling vulnerable and suspicious of things they previously took for granted. Heightened security measures around travel were put in place. Americans were asked to report suspicious activity. Muslim people were and still are subject to prejudice because of their religion being linked to the terrorist group.

The Travel Ban marks a major turning point in the policies on immigration in the United States. Due to increased terrorist attacks and illegal immigrant numbers rising, it is believed that temporarily banning immigrants from particular countries is key to ensuring safety within the United States. Though many have expressed their concern towards the ban because of its similarity to previous discriminatory and unconstitutional acts. The ban has even been referred to as the “Muslim Ban”.

Much like many white people in the South believed black protestors had no right to infiltrate their cities in the 1960s, a large number of Americans are against the idea of letting refugees or anyone that follows a strongly stereotyped religion into their country. However, like King says, “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” (78). Over the course of history, the United States have established themselves as a major power with the intentions of helping others. Whether the tactics for this have actually been successful in the past is a different discussion, but if the motives are pure, then this country has a moral and ethical obligation to help those in need. In this case, that would mean allowing these refugees into the country and not continuing to stigmatize an entire group of people any further. This country turned away refugees during World War II, and a portion of them were killed in the Holocaust. The exact same thing could potentially happen if these refugees and muslims are banned from traveling into the United States.

Sixty five years after it first became law, the act still remains a cornerstone of the United States foreign affairs. In the text, it states that “whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may… suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants.” This part of the law is what has caused much controversy today. President Trump argues his right to ban muslims using this section of the law. The law is now outdated and the people that living in the country agree the law is in desperate need of a new edition. The 2017 election is not the first time Americans have called out the law. In 1965, President Johnson signed an amendment to the law and was quoted saying “for over four decades, the immigration policy of the United States has been twisted and has been distorted by the harsh injustice of the national origins quota system.” Although he argued as much as he could, Johnson never saw a change in the amendment and although he signed a law eliminating the discriminatory imbalances, the door for people in need was still not wide open. The amendment still never specifically ruled the president unable to deny someone access as Mae Ngai, an immigration historian at Columbia University said, “it doesn’t matter what the reason is,” meaning that though the

Historically, the United States of America has a long history of shaping its ideology from a series of significant events that hold unspeakable brutality. This leads Americans to draw conclusions, which often leads to denouncing a particular body of people. For example, the enslavement of African Americans, the decimation of Native Americans, and the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Currently, while enduring several years in the U.S., Muslim Americans face similar difficulties as a human being would. However, these hardships differ because they include U.S. discrimination triggered by 9/11, current terrorist events, and negative reinforcement from the media and the general public. Muslim Americans experience the harmful effects of terrorism because acts of terrorism influence the way the U.S. views and thinks about Muslims.

Since 9/11, Muslims and the people of Arab and South Asian descent became targets by the government practices that result in racial profiling. “In June 2002, the attorney general John Ashcroft made announced a “Special Registration” that was a must for all males from a list of Arab and Muslim countries report to the government to register and be fingerprinted. For instance, ever since they crash into the Twin Tower’s those people seem to be targets especially trying to get a job” (Graves, L. 2010, December 27). They also seem to be more of a target for questioning before they attempt to come back into the country. “The United States has been actively engaged in prosecuting the Global War on Terrorism since September 2001” Dobrot, L. (2007, November 1). “Through after 5 years of the national effort that has included the loss of over 3,000 service members in combat operations, a lot of people are questioning whether the U.S. strategy is working, and if the United States understand how to combat an enemy based on radical revolutionary religious ideology” (Dobrot, L. (2007, November

The President had a fight on his hands from federal courts when Judge Andrew S. Hanen of Texas, who is of Mexican heritage, issued a restraining order obstructing the President’s executive order concerning deportation. Mr. Obama’s order would give temporary resident standing to about four million illegal’s. Twenty-five Republican governors supported Judge Hanen’s decision that a federal agency cannot establish rules without Congress. Other court cases attempt to define what an illegal really is in terms of status. There are children of illegals born in the United States, there are people who have over stayed their work visas, families, and long terms residents who work hard, pay taxes, and follow the laws of the lad. No one wants to see families separated, children left in the United States without parents, etc. The list is long and everybody has their own story to tell. The definition of “illegal” is someone who is in a country that they are not a citizen of or were not born in. among other things. Judges shape public policy for years after they are no longer sitting on the Court. In conclusion, where you are for a path way to citizenship for illegal

The belief that every middle Easter is a terrorist simply because American associate their religious beliefs to be dangerous. It’s pretty clear that’s not entirely true but still even our president believe in this idea. At the Benning of Donald Trump presidency, the president declare that individuals from 8 country from the Middle East and Northern African were ban from entering the US. The Middle East and Northern African countries that are were mostly affected include Iran, Syria, Yemen and Libya. The whole idea behind this was to ensure the safety of the American citizen by stopping all individual from entering. I feel that this is unfair since the mass killings in the USA are being done by mostly white individuals or not by other minority groups. I sometime feel upset because, American war planes our dropping bomb in many of this people’s house and American simply justify it by saying that Americans are fighting terrorism but we know that we are doing for economical

Bush (2008), Supreme Court decision decided that foreigners, even those suspected of terrorist acts, are entitled to the same Constitutional rights as United States citizens are ("BOUMEDIENE v. BUSH."). So, if religious tests were included in the Constitution for the Founding Fathers fear of potentially establishing a church of state, we must discern whether a religious test on refugees would violate the establishment. The Lemon v. Kurtzman (1971), established a three test precedent for evaluating what infringes upon the rights granted in the Establishment clause. “First, the statute must have a secular legislative purpose; second, its principal or primary effect must be one that neither advances nor inhibits religion; finally, the statute must not foster ‘an excessive government entanglement with religion.’” ("Lemon v. Kurtzman."). A religious test determining the admittance procedure on immigrants and refugees, would not pass the Lemmon test, and would thus be in violation of the Constitution. For example, President Trump’s Travel Ban states that it will, “prioritize refugees’ claims made by individuals on the basis of religious persecution, provided that the religion of that individual is a minority religion in the individual’s country of nationality” (Exec.). Considering that none of the countries listed in Trump’s “Muslim Ban”, have not orchestrated any pernicious terroristic attacks, since 1975, the Executive Order has scant evidence to support these

This article is about President Barack Obama being rejected trying to spare millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation and allow them to work legally in the United States.The Supreme court ruled 4 to 4which tied blocked president Obama's plan. Even though the were short handed due to the death of the 9th member Justice Antonin Scalia died in February. Court ruled had ruled this case deadlocked which challenged president Obama Immigration plan to stop as many as five million undocumented immigrants from being deported and allowed them to legally work in the United States. "Mr. Obama described the ruling as a deep disappointment for immigrants who would not be able to emerge from the threat of deportation for at least the balance

There is currently debate about, if Muslims should be allowed into this country, specifically Muslims from Syria, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Sudan,

Imagine leaving your war stricken country and going to a country you know will keep you safe but being detained in the airport because of who you are and what you believe. Some feel this is a very unconstitutional and you shouldn't be banning a whole religion from entering the united states, especially since the United States is made up of immigrants. People who believe this is a good idea because this could decrease the amount of terrorists attacks happening from the USA. Which is totally ridiculous, because it has been proven that there has been no terrorists attacks from those 7 countries that was banned. In fact most of the terrorists attacks weren't really a “terrorist” attack because most of them were from American citizens themselves,

Be it resolved that the United States fully repeals the travel ban due to the discriminatory effects it has on some people. The travel ban is a terrible executive order that was put into place by President Trump on january 27th of 2017. The travel ban was put into place to protect the United States by not allowing any citizen from seven muslim countries to enter. These seven countries are; Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. These countries were targeted due to supposed risks of these countries harboring extremists groups such as Isis or Al-qaeda. According to the article “Trump's executive order: Who does travel ban affect?,” by BBC News, “ The travel ban suspensions the US refugee program for 120 days, places and indefinite ban on Syrian refugees and suspends all visas of incoming immigrants of the seven banned countries” (BBC News). The seven countries are heavily muslim, however most of the people in these countries are no threat to the United States in any way. Why is the United States completely discriminating the islamic religion when we are founded on the basis of religious freedom. Not everyone who is muslim is a terrorists so why are we punishing a lot of good people for the actions of very few. Most of the terrorist attacks that have happened since 9/11 have been carried out by a U.S citizen, so are we going to start deporting all muslim U.S citizens? The islamic religion is not the problem it's the radicalistic idea that some people
