Trump fires acting attorney general for not supporting Muslim ban- Elijah Macias

Summary: Earlier on Monday, President Trump fired, acting attorney general, Sally Yates for refusing to enforce the recent Muslim travel ban. In a press release, the white house stated that Yates,“betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States.” The White House has named Dana Boente and has ensured that he will enforce the immigration act. 

Analysis: Well I mean, i suppose this was justifiable- she did refuse to carry out an order and influenced others not to support the ban- but i mean, I completely understand her reasoning( and i'm sure all of you understand her reasoning) ;She felt that what Trump put out was Unlawful and therefore she could not enforce it- and it sure did seem unlawful. This entire Muslim travel ban fiasco has many Americans rallied up in opposition to this crazy ban- and it's no wonder that she would refuse to enforce such a crazy ban. This month has been quite crazy with all of these new Trump Administration laws and stuff. 
You can directly connect this time of foreigner distrust and hatred to the rise of the Nativists and the Know Nothings. They wanted America for Americans and didn't want anyone coming in to mess it up for them. That is eerily similar to our stance on Syrian refugee crisis and the Mexican Immigration problem.
I really just hope that Trump can just redeem himself so that we can be at peace for once, but knowing Trump and the kind of guy he is- I highly doubt we will see any massive improvements. we will only be a split country full of unhappy people.
