Why Is Donald Trump Unconstitutional?

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.

“Donald Trump is the only Republican candidate who seems to have any inclination to act strictly in America’s interest. More importantly, he is the only Republican candidate who is willing to even address the problem. Trump may not have been right to say that we need to stop letting more Muslims into the country or, at least, examine the issue, but he wasn’t crazy to suggest it either”.

Rallies, riots, and protests have been springing up even outside of the U.S. Former president Barack Obama has already spoken out against the immigration ban recently put into place. “In his final official speech as President, he spoke about the important role of citizen[s] and how all Americans have a responsibility to be guardians of our democracy― not just during an election but every day,” said Obama’s spokesman Kevin Lewis, quoted in a 2017 NPR article. Not only that, but according to a 2017 New York Times article, the immigration ban is illegal. Over 50 years ago, Congress outlawed discrimination against immigrants based on national origin. In 1924, after the troubles relating to the Asiatic Barred Zone, Congress created a comprehensive “national-origins system.” Trump, in defense, quoted a 1952 law allowing the president the ability to “suspend the entry” of “any class of aliens,” which was restricted in 1965, something our president should know if he’s going to run the country for four years. Donald Trump, by doing this, is violating the beliefs of the Philosophes, i.e. Voltaire, Rousseau, and Locke. He does so by ignoring religious tolerance, and by violating the Constitution and natural rights. Donald Trump is not only lacking knowledge on the Constitution and American laws, but he is also putting out country at risk by placing this ban in order. On the contrary, Trump is doing so with best

Imagine being a parent at an airport waiting to go see your kids but then all of the sudden you can't pass through the gates, why? Well, because the current president Donald Trump banned 7 nations from entering the United States. What do you do now? That's how frustrated and disappointed people were at the airports when the ban took action on Friday, January 27th. It was unaccounted so people were not aware of it although, it was expected to occur anytime soon. He believes the United States would be a better place without those nations so, therefore, he felt the need to ban refugees from entering the United States. It all might sound scary but as he was running for candidacy many people were aware of how everything could be changed

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

I believe that banning Muslims from the United States is a bad idea and horrible one as well. Muslims shouldn't be kicked out just because Donald Trump believes it will help the country. Muslims should be able to come to the United States with people thinking they are bad and just want to blow stuff up. There are good and bad Muslims like every other type of group out there. The Muslims are being singled out from their religion and this is unconstitutional because it breaks the First Amendment of the Constitution that gurantees freedom of religion (Reuters, 2015). This will also make the situation in todays world worse since they are trying to radify Islam (Reuters, 2015). Donald Trumps thinks he is doing the right thing, but he is not. America

He arranges to place restriction on Muslims immigrating the country in order to control terrorism. The underlying question is, how will the dividing of Mexico and deportation of Muslims going to create a better workforce when a wide majority of the population is going to be sent out of the country? We will be losing a significant amount of the population that contributes to our workforce industry and keep the country going. With the policies Trump has created, he seems as if he is highly confident to “Make America Great Again”. By euphemism of his wish to “Make America Great Again” will only connote the idea of modifying the United States solely into whiteness and heterosexuals. His idea of a country consists of people meeting his expectations and clearly favoring the white supremacy. If Trump continues to holds such restrictions and racism, this will only generate a divide in our nation and can conceivably lead to the dangers of a civil war. It will conceivably construct fear into citizens of what the future may hold for themselves and their families. Another major atrophy of Trump’s policy is the idea of benefitting families who are in the higher income range. But, the issue of this policy is only those in top one percent will

In a book he wrote in 2002, he states that the process legal immigrants must endure should not be “an easy one,” while conveying the need for a strict immigration system to be in place (Goggin). Throughout his presidential campaign he has promoted his plans on building a wall that will help prevent illegal immigration into the country and other astounding strategies. One of the strategies he has proposed is mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, but has changed this intent through the campaign. However, Trump has explicitly stated his intentions to create a ban against incoming muslim immigrants and a call for “extreme vetting” for refugees seeking asylum in the country

Should Muslims be allowed entry? My answer is absolutely yes. As a business school student, I cannot analysis the problem from the perspective of constitution and the opinion in the article is clear enough. However, from my recognition of it, Trump confuses the concept of Muslims and terrorist organization. There are 1.57 billion Muslims in the world and 2.454 million of them are in the United State, which accounts for 0.8% of total U.S. population (Pew Research Center, 2009). If all the Muslims are terrorists, all of us will live in misery and disturbance caused by them. In fact, those terrorists just make up a tiny fraction of the whole Muslims groups and they cannot speak for the whole Muslims. What Trump do is grossly exaggerating the threat

Discriminating against the people that believe in the Muslim religion is a rising issue that has broke out to many across the nation. President Trump has even signed a executive order to ban the number of Muslims that enter the country each year as Trump cut the amount of refugees that enter the country in half (Zapotosky, Nakamura, and Hauslohner). In addition, this will help with acts of terror within the country, but looking from the outside it appears as racist. Although, not all Muslims are terrorist, to reduce the amount of attacks is through the ban of Muslims. Also, by doing this it will create about 50,000 more jobs for the Americans. This could help more than just the belief of terrorism; in addition, it can help opportunity for

When muslims enter the country they deserve the same right that is given to other immigrants ; freedom of religion. Banning muslims from entering the country because of their religious beliefs is as preposterous as not allowing a new person into a church. The United States is a boiling pot of ethnicities, nationalities and religions. The U.S should not ban muslims from migrating into the country, because it will create tension among Islamic countries, separate families and be a threat against religious freedom. People often fear things they do not understand, it seems that many Americans are associating muslims with the ideals of terrorist groups simply because they are unfamiliar to their religion. If the government does not look past their fear of allowing muslims into the country, it will be alone in their struggle against real

The universalizing and stereotype constructions of Islam contribute to the ongoing marginalization and vulnerability of Muslims in the United States by placing a travel ban on their families in other countries. The travel ban makes it impossible for their families to visit them especially if a loved one is sick like in the article. It’s not right that his aunt can’t come into the country to comfort her sister during her husbands cancer just because President Trump has implied that people from those countries may be terrorist out to do Americans harm. Even when people of other countries successfully pass the background check they are still denied their visas in order to enter our country. Where is the fairness in stereotyping those people and not allowing them to enter into our great country. I think that as long as they pass the background check they should be allowed to receive their visas to enter America. Making them pay for what others have previously done is unethical and wrong. People should not be permanently barred based on the negative actions of others. Protecting national security from terrorist is a top priority in this country but not at the expense of alienating innocent Muslims from coming here. Majority of Muslims are not terrorist extremist so to treat them as such is unjust.

Immigration has been a piece of our nation ever since the Pilgrims first made their way across the Atlantic in the 1600’s. America has been the melting pot of cultures, ideas, and religions for quite some time now. We cherished and embraced our nation’s diversity, but what is happening now? (Rhetorical Question) Ever since September 11th, 2001, things have changed in the US. People’s minds have been penetrated with hatred for Muslims because of the terrorist attacks we all see. This has brought up many new, innovative security regulations to try to protect our nation. Although many of these laws have proven themselves to be beneficial, what President Trump is proposing for his new immigration order is unacceptable. The order will set a 90-day ban on all immigrants coming from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, and Yemen. Then it will significantly lower the number of refugees our nation accepts. The immigration order proposed by Trump should not be passed because it is unconstitutional, shows religious discrimination and hatred towards Muslims, and it violates various international and federal policies.

This ban is a major issue for the country. Banning immigrants because of their religion flies in the face of our U.S. Constitution guaranteeing religious freedom. President Trump spoke of banning Muslims, his executive orders have been stopped by the courts due to unconstitutionality.
