Why Donald Trump Should Be Illegal

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.

Met with mass protest and public outrage, the original travel ban was an executive order issued on January 27,2017. The ban rolled out an elaborate scheme said to protect the American people and “Make America Great Again”. The ban set a cap of 50,000 refugees to be accepted into the USA during 2017. It also included a temporary ban on Syrian refugees as well as people arriving from seven countries with predominantly Muslim populations. After being found in violation Immigration & Nationality Act of 1965 due to its discriminatory nature, the order is now back and has been redrafted.

The newly indicted President of the United States, Donald Trump had made an executive order to create an immigrant ban to prevent immigrants from entering and returning to the United States. Shortly after signed the order there was chaos due to Trumps lack of communication; Trump had signed the order as the official's were still discussing it. To continue, when the order was set Custom border control had received orders, however, they were quite unsure of what to do, more questions continue to raise about why trump had singed this order and why he was so quick to fulfill it. Officials of the Whitehouse had defended Trump's decision for the order and his reasoning for it.

The 2016 presidential campaign, was wrought with several controversial issues, none more so than the refugee crisis. Throughout the campaign, Donald Trump’s Anti-Muslim rhetoric, appeared to go against the American ideals of protecting religious freedoms. This trend continued into his presidency, he enacted Executive Order 13769 “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States”, banning immigrants and refugees from seven predominately Muslim countries. While, the President claims these measures were taken to prevent any future terrorist attacks on the United States, many question if the Order has more to do with instilling a ban on Islam. Yet, with the possibility of terrorists entering the United States, how can we

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.

On January 27, 2017, President Trump issued an executive order that suspended entry of all refugees into the United States for one-hundred and twenty days. The order obstructed Syrian refugees for an unspecific time and blocked entry into the United States for ninety days for citizens of seven Muslim countries, such as: Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Yemen. This order also banned green card holder from these seven countries.

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 stopped spinning for a multitude Muslim immigrants. It marks the day that the immigration ban was signed, prohibiting citizens from seven countries of a large Islamic populace (Yemen, Sudan, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Somalia, and Libya) from entering America for a period of 90 days.On top of that, the U.S. refugee program was suspended for an extra 30 days in hopes of preventing terrorists from entering the country. This ban will be detrimental to not only America’s

According to the old immigration ban, the U.S temporarily applied the entry ban to the citizens coming from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. As soon as issued, the old decree resulted in great disorder at the US’s airports when a large number of people prevented from entry.

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. Executive Order: Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into The United States, the more moderate version of the “Muslim ban” that President Trump called for during his campaign was signed on Friday. Some people who were still in the air when Trump signed the order were detained or sent back to where they flew in from when they landed. This led to people being detained in airports sparking numerous protests at airports across the country, calling the order unconstitutional. On Saturday, a federal judge temporarily stayed the order, stopping people from being detained and deported from the country.

On Saturday, January 28th, Donald Trump enacted an immigrant ban on the countries of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. Trump believed that the Muslims in those states were terrorists and could possibly hurt the United States. When this ban came into effect, immigrants were stranded at airports and people, nation-wide, were livid and confused as to why the ban was enacted. Immigrants were frightened for their lives and wanted to go back to their home in America, but they were considered dangerous. After the ban, the United States chose sides on whether or not to support or despise the act. In, "Ask a Chicagoan, Mr. President, about 'dangerous' immigrants", the Chicago Sun-Times Editorial Board successfully persuades the Chicagoland

America has been a proud nation and has always allowed immigrants from all over the world to come in. President Donald Trump has been working on trying to keep America safe, so he is trying to send away potential terrorist immigrants, such as Syrian Refugees, because he believes that this will stop all terrorist attacks on America. Trump signed three executive orders during the week of January 23, which threatened the rights of the immigrants and refugees that would want to go to America. There are 51 Muslim-majority countries and territories and Trump placed travel limits on seven of them (Murdock, 1). There has been a concern for stricter border laws. There are 205 million people affected by this and 1 billion people not affected by this

Trump’s Executive Order 13769 prohibit Syrian refugees and lawful immigrants coming from the seven Muslim countries has caused chaos throughout our nation. Immigrants with lawful visas were detained on their travel to the US while the flights were cancelled for those who strived to fly to America. Under the Constitution and laws, this Executive Order is unconstitutional. While it is true that foreign nationals involved in the 9/11 attack, the Executive Order targeted countries that have not killed a single American. As a matter of fact, the ones that involved in the 9/11 attack were 15 people from Sudis, 2 United Arab Emirates men, 1 from Egypt, and 1 from Lebanon (Roosevelt). Strangely enough, Trump banned the countries in which he doesn’t have economic relationship with; however, the countries that have business links to Trump are excluded from the immigration ban list (Hincks). Because of this, the Executive Order doesn’t necessarily abate terrorist threats, for Trump choose the wrong countries to put on his ban list. The Order violated the fifth amendment by “targeting individuals for discriminatory treatment based on their country of origin and/or religion, without lawful justification,” as stated in the US Constitution

The travel ban is an executive order which was put into place by President Donald Trump’s administration on January 27th, 2017. The order was put into place for our national security to “protect the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States.” This measure banned travel into the U.S. for 90 days from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. This obviously sparked an outcry from social media, which caused a divide among Americans. With a show of hands, how many of you think that the travel ban is actually a ban on Muslim refugees and that it is racist. Recent polls show that 57% of Americans favor the temporary ban while 33% are opposed to it, and 10% are still undecided. Racism, fascism, and Islamophobia; these words have all taunted supporters of President Trump and the travel ban. The one thing people don’t realize is that the travel ban isn’t banning Muslims from America. Who in the room can name the top 5 countries with the most Muslims. They are Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nigeria. Not one of these countries are listed in the ban. This ban is only for only ninety days, and is aimed at countries who have sent a large contingency of terrorists to the U.S. The countries selected have active terrorist training camps, and Trump is not the individual who selected the countries on the list. These countries are unstable, with no reliable vetting procedures. We shouldn’t admit people until they can meet our security screening standards.

After the signing of the executive order, Muslims from Malaysia were demonstrating requesting for justice for their fellow men. The business sector will be disadvantaged since they will have to seek investors from the Middle East and not from Malaysia as they did previously (Shelby, 2016). The rift between Muslims and non-Muslims may increase because the executive order portrays Muslims as terrorist making them feel rejected by the US. The rift between the Muslims and the non-Muslims will even trigger more terrorist attacks (Mckissen, 2017).. Who said terrorism is the leading cause of deaths in the US? Most of the residents of the US die as a result of accidents and diseases and not terrorism hence banning innocent people from the US is a social injustice. Therefore, it is evident that Trump has deprived the banned Muslims the freedom to interact and trade in the

Supporters of the ban claim it is a matter of national security, reminding of the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Adversaries note, most of the 9/11 conspirators originated from Saudi Arabia, a country not included in the travel ban. During the President's campaign, he called for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States." Leading to questions arising about the President's motives of the ban.
