Trump's Immagration Ban

Weeks after Trump’s inauguration, he began to work on several things, However, the thing that got everyone’s attention was the ban on immigration. Several things and reactions have come because it.

First thing first, the actual effects of the ban. The the ban is going to suspend all U.S refugee admissions for 120 days. According to the Guardian, Trump has stated he wants more strictures, but has yet to state what they would be. Along with these changes, he has stopped all refugees from Syria for the foreseeable future.

The following countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, have been targeted for a 90 day ban – not allowing anyone in and out; however, after some time the US citizens that were not considered a threat were let back.

Reince Priebus, appeared on Jan. 29, 2017 on NBC’s "Meet the Press" and said:“Here’s the deal: If you're coming in and out of one of those seven countries -- by the way, identified by the Obama administration as the seven most dangerous countries in the world in regard to harboring terrorists and affirmed by Congress multiple times -- then you're going to be subjected temporarily with more questioning until a better program is put in place over the next several months.”

Some questions were raised by some of the people affected by the ban. The wondered things such as if they would be kicked out, and others are bothered by the fact they can’t enter even after waiting for long times.

One man a Dahan Al-Fadhl, a physician from Yemen with an american father was affected. Over a saturday his sister-in-law and her six children were detained in the airport, his brother came there as well but as for what is going to happen is unsure, "This is inhumane, this is not the United States that we knew," Al-Fadhl said.

Companies even got in on the ban, and stated their thoughts on President Trump’s decision.

"Respect for all people is a core value of Ford Motor Company, and we are proud of the rich diversity of our company here at home and around the world. That is why we do not support this policy or any other that goes against our values as a company. We are not aware, to date, of any Ford employees directly affected by this policy. We will continue working to ensure the well-being of our employees by promoting

the values of respect and inclusion in the workplace," Executive Chairman Bill Ford and President & CEO Mark Fields told Fortune in a statement.

In a post on LinkedIn, CEO Satya Nadella wrote: "As an immigrant and as a CEO, I’ve both experienced and seen the positive impact that immigration has on our company, for the country, and for the world."

President Trump had this prepared statement given to the press:

“America is a proud nation of immigrants and we will continue to show compassion to those fleeing oppression, but we will do so while protecting our own citizens and border. America has always been the land of the free and home of the brave. We will keep it free and keep it safe, as the media knows, but refuses to say. My policy is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months.

The seven countries named in the Executive Order are the same countries previously identified by the Obama administration as sources of terror. To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting. This is not about religion — this is about terror and keeping our country safe. There are over 40 different countries worldwide that are majority Muslim that are not affected by this order.

We will again be issuing visas to all countries once we are sure we have reviewed and implemented the most secure policies over the next 90 days. I have tremendous feeling for the people involved in this horrific humanitarian crisis in Syria. My first priority will always be to protect and serve our country, but as President I will find ways to help all those who are suffering.”

At the same time, many people are in support of it. According to TIME, 55% of Americans approved of the immigration ban – according to a recent poll. However, even with the increased amount of approval, nearly half of the poll are against it. As time passed people have seemed to move on, the effect on this country will be seen as more time passes, and if the ban ends or is repealed.
