Rudy Giuliani: An Analysis

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”.

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 The law is now outdated and the people that living in the country agree the law is in desperate need of a new edition.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

Assignment 1: Current Event Christopher Punla SOCI111 WIN 17 American Military University Abstract I. Newly inaugurated President Donald Trump has recently approved a ban involving the restriction of travel into the United States of immigrants from seven Muslim countries. Since this ban is only for up to 90 days, this is just the beginning of a potentially longer or even permanent ban. This is not the first time he has demonstrated the lack of regard with social equality.

In The New York Times’ article called “Trump’s Immigration Ban Is Illegal” published on January 27th, 2017, David J. Bier expresses his personal opinion about the execute order signed by Trump that supports to bar all permanent immigration from seven majority-Muslim countries. According to Bier, the order is illegal, since Congress outlawed all discrimination against immigrants and American citizens based on nationality, race, sex, place of birth, or place of residence by means of The Immigration and National Act of 1965. However, Bier explains that the 1965 law does not ban discrimination based on religion, which was Mr. Trump’s original proposal. The author uses examples to prove that presidents have used their powers many times to forbid

Back in 2015, Republican Party nominee Trump made his opinion known about his proposals to temporarily ban immigration in the United States. In a press release statement, Trump called for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on." I see what Trump reasoning is and I think it could be reasonable, but I believe it is still unconstitutional. The Seattle federal judge that suspended Trump’s order, Gordon, states that “the court concludes that the government’s reasons, as provided in the [executive order], are facially legitimate are bona fide but unconstitutional.” I am somewhat in agreement about the ban being reasonable, but you can not say that people from a religion are considered “terrorist” or associate a religion with “terrorist” or terrorism, which Trump is doing. However, although he has a good reasoning it is not enough, because a good purpose doesn’t make anything

The article that I chose was “Explaining the Immigration Ban” by Lina Mai from Times for kids. This article is about Donald Trump and his new executive order on immigration. I choose this article because I think that it would be something that everyone should know about. On January 27

The Trump Travel Ban VS The Indian Removal Act The United States has had numerous presidents varying in political parties, beliefs, and ethical values. And in a country as diverse in race, religion, and culture as the U.S. is, it does not come as surprise that the country has yet to elect a president in which everyone supports. Every president has their flaws and every action of the White House is controversial and scrutinized. Martin Luther King Jr. once said “The ultimate measure of a man is not of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy”. With every presidency comes controversies which can define the legacy of that president and their impact on the country. Following more present day presidencies, President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration is an extremely controversial topic around the world right now. Using an executive order President Trump has temporarily banned travel from seven countries.

Ever since the birth of America we have been a country built by immigrants. Many immigrants today come from the war torn middle east and latin America. Unfortunately many associate these immigrants with problems the country is facing leading the Trump administration to take drastic measures to secure our borders. Since the first time Trump mentioned a Muslim ban in December of 2015 many have called into question the legality of his plan to keep the country and our borders secure. On January 27 Trump signed an executive order entry into the U.S from citizens from seven predominantly muslim countries which include Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. Ever since many problems have arisen regarding the legality of Trumps ban. In California Judge Dolly M. Gee ordered that Ali Khoshbakhti Vayeghan who had been deported to Iran be allowed to return to the U.S arguing that the order violated 14th Amendment and that it also violated one

Immigration: A Discussion with No End The issue of illegal immigration has become a major debate for everyone. June Johnson wrote “Crossing Borders: Immigration” in her book Global Politics, Local Arguments to introduce the topic of undocumented immigrants in the U.S expanding and the measures that the government has taken to solve

“Why do I say this?” one may ask. Well, the issues of national security and terrorism have been very critical problems in our nation in the past years, and much of this terrorism can be attributed to ISIS, a radical Islamist terrorist group. Unfortunately, a bigoted, hypocritical, egregious republican nominee named Donald Trump decided to propose a ban on all Muslims that enter our country. Even more distressing, however, is the fact that Donald Trump has nearly 50% of the nation’s support in his racist ideals and has inspired heated racism against the Muslim people in our own country, a country that is supposed to uphold morally-sound constitutional rights of freedom for every religion. The quote previously presented stated, “Those who don’t remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Now is the time to remember the horrors of internment camps for the Japanese, horrors of the racism the Japanese-American people endured in WWII, the horrors of how our government spat in the face of the constitution. It is our duty as the people of the United States, to uphold our own moral obligations to support each one another regardless or religion, culture, or

“The Immigration Ban and How it Will Affect America” On January 20th, 2017, Donald J. Trump was inaugurated and became the official 45th President of the United States. A mere seven days later, and the country is already tearing at the seams. January 27th, 2017 marks the day that the world

After the first week of Donald Trump’s presidency many changes have been occurring in the country. A continuous stream of executive orders signed by the President are causing extreme controversy.

3/22/17 President Trump’s Immigration and Refugee Policy 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

According to a Family Nurse Practitioner, Terry McCleary, since President Trump’s election, “There have been fewer and fewer new Mexican immigrants coming to my clinic.” This is probably happening because a lot of the Mexican immigrants in the US are illegal immigrants, and now they have gone back to their original country mostly because they are scared of being deported. I noticed that Muslim countries are such a big topic these days, when just a few years ago the Muslim immigrant population was not very popular. Now there are a large number of immigrants from El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala in the Bay Area. They have come to escape from the violence in their countries. Studies indicate that there are now mostly immigrants from India, China, and South America in the US. Ever since President Trump was elected, there has been so much communication about muslims coming into the country. The thought of Muslim immigrants coming to the US has a whole new viewpoint. According to the article from the Boston Globe, “Trump suspended the admission from other countries for 120 days and suspended the entry of citizens from seven muslim countries for 90 days”. This action demonstrates that President Trump thinks that Muslim immigrants to us are a big threat to our country. I believe that this a bias ban because it prevents mostly non-criminals from coming here.
