Refugee Ban in the United States
In the United States, President Trump recently issued a travel ban from seven Muslim majority countries: Libya, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, and Syria due to concerns of the safety of American citizens. However, it was recently overruled by Federal Judge James L. Robart but the president has vowed to have the ruling overturned or have another similar executive order written in its place. The ban consisted of visa restrictions in place for ninety days, refugee admission program suspended for one hundred and twenty days, and Syrian refugees’ admission suspended indefinitely until President Trump feels the vetting procedures are strong enough to ensure terrorists are not allowed in the country on a refugee visa.

Is it unsafe for American to allow refugees to settle in the states or should we allow them in? Another variable that surrounds the issue is that of religion. Many are calling this a Muslim ban due to the fact that the seven countries listed are Muslim majority with only a small percentage being of a different religion. Also, during President Trumps campaign he was very outspoken about the Muslim Religion and ties with Islamic terrorism. So, one begs the question: Is this a Muslim Ban and is it right to bar Muslim refugees from the United States? In my opinion, President Trump is letting biased opinions of his own accord dictate who should be allowed in this country and it is wrong to allow him to do so. A refugee ban based in xenophobia allowed to stand is unconstitutional.
The world today is facing a

It is comprised of seven steps: registration and data collection, security checks, DHS interview, Biometric security checks, cultural orientation and medical check, assignment to domestic resettlement location and travel, and lastly arrival in the U.S (State). Each of those steps is intensive and the refugee screening process is considered to more careful than any other type of traveler. Furthermore, the USRAP system has proven to be secure through statistics listed on CATO and in my opinion any more to be done would strain the system to point where it was incapable of adequately processing individuals. While those steps help ensure that the United States protects itself from potential terrorist, maybe more can be done in security checks with visa applicants. The 9/11 attacks were carried out by those on temporary visas, and one student visa. As it stands, there is a $160 fee, application with photo documentation, and an interview at the U.S Embassy or Consulate. Also, there could be additional steps depending on place of origin. (Affairs). While these steps are a good starting place to grant visas, a more in depth background check could be beneficial for the United States for those who hail from known terrorist bred countries. Another issue is visa holders overstaying their allotted time. What can be done to ensure that visa holders abide by the rules set in place by the U.S Department of State? I would
Terrorist, sleeper cells and undeserving; these are all adjectives that Americans have used to describe Syrian refugees. This type of bigotry is an issue that must be addressed. In light of the recent attack on Paris, there has been a dramatic shift to block President Obama’s plan to bring 10,000 additional refugees into the United States. Imagine that, a nation of immigrants blocking other immigrants from entering. In order to gain this kind of overwhelming support for such a bill, propagandists have used countless personal attacks on an entire race and claim that it is in the name of national security. Rather than lock down the borders, the United States should take California’s model for vetting refugees and make it the federal
President Trump recently signed an executive order that restricts entry from seven Muslim majority countries into the United States. Trump’s immigration policy bans the entry of refugees into the United States for 120 days and heightens additional screening to make sure that they do not pose a threat to the security of the U.S. The order also indefinitely restricts the entrance of Syrian refugees and restricts travelers that come from seven predominantly Muslim countries including Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen entry into the United States for 90 days (Shear, Michael). This order would affect over 20,000 refugees, thousands of students nationwide, and hundreds
In attempts to protect the United States from foreign terrorists, President Trump has banned seven different countries from any access into the country for ninety days. The seven countries included in the Travel Ban are Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen (Jackson). As for Syria, Trump has placed a ban that has an undetermined length of time. Another aspect of the ban is, “The order also introduces a cap of 50,000 refugees to be accepted in 2017, against a limit of 110,000 set by former President Barack Obama” (BBC). This order not only drastically affects the amount of immigrants entering the country, but also the number of refugees.
“The Executive Order Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United Sates.” The purpose of the policy is to protect American citizens from terrorist attacks to include attacks committed by foreign nationals. Under the executive order there is a temporarily banned from seven majority Muslim countries: Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, and Iran. The travel banned is only for 90 days this will help for a more depth screening and vetting protocols. The executive order 13769 also suspended USRAP for 120 days. This will help with vetting procedures for refugees, since some terrorist have infiltrated several nations through the refugee programs. With this order the President has given the authority to the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security to grant waivers case-by-case if is determined that is in the national interests to do
President Trump banned, allowing refugees into America in seven different countries. Jeremy Diamond states, “With just a few quick strokes of the pen, President Donald Trump on Friday banned -- temporarily, for now -- roughly 218 million people from entering the United States.” On the other hand, there is several people that don’t agree with the ban. They feel that President Trump is being heartless and unfair. They feel that America had a part in why the Syrian Refugees are at war to begin
I am writing about the story of I am a native American and freedom walkers and JoAnn Robinson. This story is also going to be about should we ignore the past time and focus on presents, or we should focus more on the past than the present.

Trump sparked great controversy after he passed a travel ban which banned people from seven different Muslim majority countries, and put a hold on the refugee program indefinitely. Unfortunately, Trumps grace upon this wonderful country of ours was put on hold when a judge transgressed his boundaries and deemed the act unconstitutional. Refugees have been a problem to the world for the past decade or so, and have caused hardship to many people across the world, putting stress on the many different governments and the citizens of them. For too long, we the world, are stripped of our happiness and pleasure as we watch these ragged, pathetic beings cling onto what little life they have left like a slaughtered lamb still fighting back although
The United States should accept refugees who have background checks. It is a humanitarian duty for people, and the United States, to help other people that are in danger. Background checks would let the U.S know if the refugees are dangerous or not, so as long as they aren’t in any harm, the U.S should let them in. Also, there are some Americans that are doing their best and helping out refugees that are actually coming in, and that shows American values.
The U.S need to also accept more refugees because of medical and mental assistance. As we can read in document #1 , a man kill his nephew because of all the traumas he has suffered. This show that this man needs mental health assistance and here we can provide with all the resources the U.S has. We can also connect this with document #2 because of the help that the little boy awaiting help. The U.S government should be like German chancellor Angela Merkel, who is admitting more refugees without worrying about the attacks that happen, and helping those who she can help and give them assistance. No everyone is the same, and we know there were attacks, but, those attacks where no most of it from refugees.
Refugees are individuals that are being forced to flee from their country of citizenship to another in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. Western society tends to be judgmental towards people who do not look like their own and so it is very difficult for different cultures to be treated fairly. Recently, President Trump implemented a law that band Muslims, due to the stereotypically classifying them as terrorists. Muslims are being classified as others and treated very poorly due to their religious beliefs and instead, that should not be the case. In the media, Muslims are also portrayed poorly and they are seen as individuals coming to America to take over the country, when in fact they are just regular individuals seeking
In distinction, some people argue that this ban is a good move. A recent poll suggested that 49% of the people support this immigration ban (Kahn). Obviously, one feels better and safer that their country is more secure if the number of people coming from an active war zone is less. This is astonishing in a way, as President Trump has the lowest approval rating, as compared to the past Presidents, yet he has an awful lot of supporters (Kirk). Hoffman, a person who participated in the polls, says that he understands that the country was founded on immigrants, but fears that the refugees are supported by his tax dollars (Kahn). A fair number of American citizens feel the same way about immigrants, that these people steal their jobs,
Now, Trump has seen the threat of terrorists coming into America under the guise of immigrants looking for work or refugees looking for safety and has decided that, unfortunately, we would have to close of immigration and refuse refugees from the 7 countries that the Obama administration deemed as being connected to terrorism. The ban will last only for 90 days, as the vetting process is refined to keep out threats to the safety of American citizens.
Terrorists Terrorism/Crime are a big reason that refugees should not be let into the united states. One of the big reasons is that there are a lot of people trying to either get a visa or sneak into our country. “There have been over 400 cases of people sneaking across the border from Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Pakistan, and Syria”. Associated Press 2015)This shows that people who shouldn't be crossing the border are sneaking in with the refugees to cause terrorism to our country. There are very few reasons that people from those countries should ever be entering our country, and them trying to sneak in and illegally come into our country tells us they are probably planning
