Donald Trump's Immigration Ban
As President, Donald Trump plans to enact an Immigration Ban that would affect people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. People from these predominantly Muslim nations are prohibited from entering the United States. Trump claims the ban is to eliminate foreign terrorism in America and keep residents safe. Currently, there is a freeze on the ninety-day ban Trump temporarily put on the entry of people from the seven countries and the one hundred and twenty-day ban on all refugees. Ultimately, the decision of whether this executive order passes is up to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Trump’s executive order has caused division between the residents of America who argue whether the ban is constitutional or not. Lawyers who

    In “A Writer’s Response,” Stewart examines the issue of immigration law in the United States. He claims that the decision of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to block President Trump’s immigration order is judicial overreach, without an examination of the Constitution, nor an acknowledgement of the concept of checks and balances upon which our country was founded.…

    Muslim immigration to America has been occurring for decades, and is not a new thing. However, throughout history the U.S. government has had trouble creating a sensible Muslim immigration policy. Currently, president Trump—a man with bold and controversial policies--has enforced a temporary ban on Muslims until the American government can create a valid immigration policy. American people are in turmoil while deciding whether or not they should allow the U.S. government to put restrictions on Muslim Immigration. Some Americans are concerned that Muslim immigration will jeopardize America's security, while others feel it is America's duty to be compassionate and welcome immigrants.…

    Radical extremists have put fear into American society, causing many to resent immigrants and refugees. President Trump has worked with foreign governments to eliminate the threat of radical extremists, specifically in the Middle East. During a conference in Saudi Arabia, Trump said, “[W]e are here to offer partnership, based on shared interests and values, to pursue a better future for us all” (“Donald Trump and . . . ”). Since the beginning of his term, Trump has pushed for secure borders. On January 25, 2017, Trump signed an Executive Order, part of which stated, “Among those who illegally enter . . .…

    The TRO restricts the enforcement of President Trump's executive order widely known as the "Travel Ban" or "Muslim Ban". The executive order bans individuals from seven countries entry to the U.S.A. for 90 days, suspends the refugee program for 120 days and suspends Syrian refugees indefinitely. The order also states that exceptions may be made in some cases "when in the national interest". However, it does not provide any explanation as to what qualifies as being in the national interest, or who evaluates the cases. The order goes on to direct that when the refugee program resumes operation, refugees of certain religions would have prioritized applications. The government insisted that the bans were a matter of protecting the nation from terrorism. The bans were put into place immediately, causing a widespread and very controversial effect.…

    Since the beginning of Trump's campaign, he has boldly said his beliefs on illegal immigration and deportation. This has caused an increase of white extremist groups to come to the surface. Before, many of these groups were thought of as having very exaggerated views on immigration, but now that their views have been talked about so often by Trump, this is not the case. Many of the white supremacist groups believe that they have been getting more support and attention since Trump's candidacy. He has given people who seemed to be drowned out from the political system a drive to stand up for the issues they believe need to be changed. The organizations believe that Trump has shown the world that we should be talking about things that are often…

    The case law to date does not clearly provide any legal limits on the President’s use of authority when placing prohibitions on the entrances of immigrants into America. The Act provides very broad authority as to how the president of the United States may do so. When read carefully, the Act clearly does not authorize the president to prevent immigration based on country of origin, nevertheless, it does authorize the president's decision of preventing the immigration of aliens based on his stance. For example, the president shall have the power to place temporary restrictions on immigration based on country of origin if he deems that the well-being of the United States could be adversely affected by any immigrant or any foreign country. However, he is not recommended, nor is he permitted, to prohibit any alien or class of aliens from immigrating to the United States based on factors that include bias’ along with sex, income, and religious…

    Vetting System

    Many people opposed Trump’s travel ban stating that none of the countries on the list proposed a threat to our national security. In many ways they are right. Trump claims that the countries on the list were responsible for 9/11. The original order also stated that green card holders and people with valid visas to work in the United States could not travel between our country and theirs until a more effective and efficient vetting system was put in place. In many ways, Trump is right. Our vetting system does take an extraordinarily long time and many immigrants find themselves waiting decades before their citizenship is granted. A more efficient system would prompt a quicker and easier entry to our country. However, constitutionally, you are not allowed to discriminate against any human regardless of religion, race or ethnicity. We can corroborate with the court cases like Korematsu’s that the detention or removal of a group of people from an entire country should never be allowed and that regardless of the war we are fighting. Citizens from those countries, unless under federal watch, should not have their rights infringed upon them due to scapegoating. Many great people from around the world come to work in the United States due to it’s endless opportunity and also many times because of the rights granted to each individual. A personal example is with my father. As a director at Google, he spends his time with people of every race, religion, sex for the majority of his day. Trump’s travel ban would prevent many people like the men and women my father works with from continuing to support their families, and would also prevent them from trying to build a life for themselves. In times of war, in many ways the President should take executive action to ensure the safety of our…

    On January 7, 2017, Trump signed an executive order banning immigrants from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, all majority-Muslim countries. Not only did the order ban immigrants from those countries, it also worked against people who had green cards and were overseas visiting in those countries. Many were stuck at airports after the order was signed, unable to get back to the country where the families, jobs, and schools were located because of a misguided view of their religion and stereotypes that follow Islam. Trump claimed that the law was not about banning Muslims and was about keeping America safe, even though he called for a Muslim ban throughout his entire campaign. If that were true than the law would have survived in court, but it was struck down in multiple federal courts and deemed unconstitutional due to its discrimination of…

    Due to recent political actions, there are more stereotypes and different types of discrimination in the U.S. President Donald Trump has called an executive order that bans people from Iran, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, Syria, and Yemen traveling to the United States. This travel ban has been placed because it is said that most terrorists have come from there. Since these countries in the Middle East are mostly made up of Muslims, a stereotype that has influenced the mind of others is that all Muslims are terrorists. However, this overall idea is not true. Document E is the United States’s former president, Barack Obama, saying his opinion about illegal immigrants. “To begin with, our borders have been porous for decades. Obviously, the problem is greater along our Southern border, but it’s not restricted to that part of the country... We need to provide farms a legal way to hire the workers they rely on, and a path for those workers to earn legal status. And should stop punishing young people for the actions of their parents by denying them the chance to stay here and earn an education and contribute their talents to build the country where they’ve grown up.” Obama’s opinion on the topic of illegal immigrants is that the U.S. help them and their children become legal so the United States can help them and they can help us. President Trump’s opinion suggests that all illegal…

Joe Schoenmann, the radio host, along with his guest, Chris Edward, an assemblyman, has acknowledged the conflict this ban has created in the society, which causes many people to voice their frustrations and anger towards Trump and the new order he signed.

    Immigration laws are a commonly brought up, controversial subject among U.S officials. There are 4 seperate arguments from the supporting side, with the only question being what branch of the government should be in charge of them, and how. The first argument is that immigration dilutes or change existing languages, religions, cultural norms, etc. The second argument is that immigrants will flock to countries with generous social welfare programs, resulting in urban slums and flooded social networks. The third argument is that immigration can harm the country they come from if the departing immigrants are high-skilled in labor. The fourth argument is that that immigration lowers the income and job availability of domestic, low-skill workers.…

    Today our nation is faced with many problems and one that seems to stand out is an immigration reform. Many of those who reside in the U.S may not see it as a big issue, but in reality it really is. An immigration reform would not only help our nation’s struggling economy but it will also allow our government to keep better track of its residents given us a sense of higher security. Those who oppose such reform fear it will only serve to decrease job opportunities due to the increase in completion for places and ultimately burry us deeper in this troubling economy but with an immigration reform, there would be a stop to the separation of families, a boost to the economy and nation’s security will also have its benefits.…
