Muslim Students: Voices For Good Will Trump Hate

The Statue of Liberty in the NY harbor remains a beacon for those oppressed, but the injunction to "Give me your exhausted, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" rings hollow with Trump's new policy. "Calling this a Muslim ban is inaccurate". The order's phrasing, the president's rhetoric and demographics that can not be ignored all lend serious credence to the claim this is an executive action targeting a religion. A Federal Court Judge granted a temporary restraining order stopping the government from refusing entry for people with valid immigrant visas, but didn't address the fate of or tourists.

One of the main counterarguments made by Trump's supporters and members of his staff is the ban does not include numerous world's largest Muslim-majority nations. "There are those who would seek to enter our country for the objective of spreading violence, or oppressing other people based upon their faith or their lifestyle - not right".

They also reflect Trump's shift toward an "America First" approach and away from the pro-globalization policies embraced by his predecessors.

In Birmingham, Ala., Bishop Harry Seawright, prelate of the 9th Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, compared the plight of the refugees affected by President Trump's order to the children of Israel when they fled Egypt in the Old Testament.

Trump later added a demand for a registry of all Muslims already in America.

President Trump has also forayed into clandestine warfare by ordering a raid in Yemen that killed at least two dozen people - including women and young children - and a U.S. Navy SEAL.

Colorado's exchange topped 170,000 enrollments on Monday evening, about 12 percent ahead of last year's pace, Clarke said.

Foreign tourists provide critical support to the US economy. The New York Taxi Workers Alliance has many Muslim employees and directed all 19,000 drivers to go on a one-hour strike in protest of the executive order.

It calls for site visits at companies who hire foreign workers and asks that the Department of Homeland security produce a report twice a year on the total number of foreign-born people working legally in the United States.

"Religious discrimination is generally unconstitutional", he said. It does, to be sure, serve one objective - a political goal - satisfying Trump's base. Even putting aside the morality of the policy, its hard-to-understand inclusion of some predominantly Muslim nations but not others, and the weird way it was developed and rolled out, it is having a major effect on America's global security, much of it negative.

People who don't have a green card, aren't holding a visa and would "just like to come to the U.S." would likely lack standing, said Garnett. When it comes to obeying the law, Charlie says there's no wiggle room for immigrants who don't follow the rules in America. Gorton's decision is expected by Sunday.

It is questions like this that make us all uncertain about the future ahead, in the wake of Trump's increasing policies of exclusion, marginalisation and divisiveness.
