Trump made an executive order on Friday, that he was banning all refugees from entering the United States for 120 days and banning immigration from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia. Trump states that the ban has no correlation with religion (which would be illegal), but only because they were countries with a high threat of terrorism. Many immigrants are being detained in airports all across the country and huge protests have risen in support of detainees. Courts from all across the country have ruled different things, some say his order is completely legal, some say immigrants can not legally be detained, and others ruled that the immigrants should be sent back to their home country. A supreme court decision is expected to see if the executive order is legal or not.
I believe this immigration ban is complete illegal, it is based on religion and Trump is over stepping his boundaries. This executive order is also Un-American, this country was built on immigration, and now Trump believes it is acceptable to not allow a large majority of the middle east to travel to the U.S. due to a very small percentage of the population being apart of terrorist groups. There are other methods of keeping our country safe from terrorist attacks without banning immigrants from 7 countries. This travel ban can be connected to the ban of Japanese Immigrants during World War II. Both of these bans were out of fear and profiled a whole race of being dangerous individuals.
