Travel Ban
Be it resolved that the United States fully repeals the travel ban due to the discriminatory effects it has on some people. The travel ban is a terrible executive order that was put into place by President Trump on january 27th of 2017. The travel ban was put into place to protect the United States by not allowing any citizen from seven muslim countries to enter. These seven countries are; Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. These countries were targeted due to supposed risks of these countries harboring extremists groups such as Isis or Al-qaeda. According to the article “Trump's executive order: Who does travel ban affect?,” by BBC News, “ The travel ban suspensions the US refugee program for 120 days, places and indefinite ban on Syrian refugees and suspends all visas of incoming immigrants of the seven banned countries” (BBC News). The seven countries are heavily muslim, however most of the people in these countries are no threat to the United States in any way. Why is the United States completely discriminating the islamic religion when we are founded on the basis of religious freedom. Not everyone who is muslim is a terrorists so why are we punishing a lot of good people for the actions of very few. Most of the terrorist attacks that have happened since 9/11 have been carried out by a U.S citizen, so are we going to start deporting all muslim U.S citizens? The islamic religion is not the problem it's the radicalistic idea that some people
President Trump’s travel ban is a very strategic move by his administration towards taking larger steps in the prevention of terrorism in the United States. Although, I have some doubts about the rationale behind the ban. While the travel ban is said to not target Muslims, the
The travel ban restricts the travel of people from eight different nations which included six that are largely Muslim nations. There are different restrictions for each nation, however most include the restriction of immigration to America permanently; some of the nations are not even allowed to visit the country. While it is understood that precautions are being taken to protect our country, we cannot accuse a person of partaking in harmful events and beliefs just because of their
The Travel Ban marks a major turning point in the policies on immigration in the United States. Due to increased terrorist attacks and illegal immigrant numbers rising, it is believed that temporarily banning immigrants from particular countries is key to ensuring safety within the United States. Though many have expressed their concern towards the ban because of its similarity to previous discriminatory and unconstitutional acts. The ban has even been referred to as the “Muslim Ban”.
Immigration has been a burning issue lately, particularly after Donald Trump’s immigration ban in the United States of America. It has been a topic that families discuss every morning with breakfast. Despite many concerns related to immigration, it has several positive benefits that mostly outweighs the negativity. People bizarrely argue when it comes to immigration, but these arguments are primarily based on facts and ideas that are outdated or inconsistent and blindfold the positive aspect related to immigration. Many immigrants in the United States are good workers who don't depend upon any public welfare and mostly help in the overall development of the economy. As a country made by immigrants, we must not forget the fact that immigrants have helped to build cities and create a path of development form Google to iPhones (Gray & Furman, 2012). These facts are secluded, and some related arguments with different content have been repeated for years and continue. Immigrants have a lot to give the United States rather than to take, especially when it comes to economic terms.
The major talk in recent news was that of Trumps travel ban shortly after taking office. The ban was not to allow individuals to enter the country from seven specific countries that he named in the order. This took the nation by storm, since it was a sudden and unannounced ban that effected many individuals that were about to travel or even in some cases mid -air, where they were met at customs with some very recent news. This made the public ask for swift response from officials from the supreme court to come and make their rulings on the subject. Trump also knew this was going to shake the nation as well as the courts so his team started immediately on a new order to trail the original. The courts took secession in the 9th circuit, with swift
In today’s American society, there are few issues more divisive in politics than immigration. It’s an issue that’s argued in nearly every debate, with Republicans and Democrats with their own views and thoughts on the matter. The issue goes as far as dividing homes, young liberals arguing with their conservative parents on who is correct.
Open borders has been a very deeply debated topic, especially in today’s society. What most people do not know is how open borders could actually be and it's a great argument to be made. However In the article”A world of free movement would be $78 trillion richer” from the July 13th 2017 issue of the economist, the author ineffectively uses logos to illustrate the major boost the world economy would get if we had open borders. The author does not provide enough facts to back up the claim the open borders would be a good option. The author does present information just not enough factual information. This is an argument that can be easily backed up with many pieces of factual evidence but instead the author chose to use made up examples and comparisons.
The Article Immigration Policy: Should the U.S. government take stricter measures to limit illegal immigration (February 9, 2017), focuses on whether the U.S. should adopt stricter measures for illegal immigration. Supporters believe that illegal immigrants pose a threat to national security. Undocumented immigrants are not in the system, so their criminal records are inaccessible. Additionally, supporters believe that immigrants take the jobs of Americans. Companies tend to give immigrants jobs because they will work for cheap wages. However, the opponents of the law believe stricter measures for illegal immigrants shouldn’t be done because most of the country's technological breakthroughs are due to immigrants. Opponents believe that immigrants help the economy because they take the jobs that not many workers take, such as farming or physical work. Immigration policy argument will continue until there is common ground established between everyone whether to there should be stricter measures or another way for them to become documented.

Immigration is such a complicated topic. I really didn’t realize everything that went into it until I got to college and was able to vote myself. Although I have written thousands of words on this topic, I still am unsure if I can for certain say that I completely agree with one side of the argument or the other. What I do believe is the fact that immigration is a touchy issue, especially within the United States, and each case should be looked at differently.
The travel ban is an executive order which was put into place by President Donald Trump’s administration on January 27th, 2017. The order was put into place for our national security to “protect the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States.” This measure banned travel into the U.S. for 90 days from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. This obviously sparked an outcry from social media, which caused a divide among Americans. With a show of hands, how many of you think that the travel ban is actually a ban on Muslim refugees and that it is racist. Recent polls show that 57% of Americans favor the temporary ban while 33% are opposed to it, and 10% are still undecided. Racism, fascism, and Islamophobia; these words have all taunted supporters of President Trump and the travel ban. The one thing people don’t realize is that the travel ban isn’t banning Muslims from America. Who in the room can name the top 5 countries with the most Muslims. They are Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nigeria. Not one of these countries are listed in the ban. This ban is only for only ninety days, and is aimed at countries who have sent a large contingency of terrorists to the U.S. The countries selected have active terrorist training camps, and Trump is not the individual who selected the countries on the list. These countries are unstable, with no reliable vetting procedures. We shouldn’t admit people until they can meet our security screening standards.
On Facebook, I sought out opinions on this social justice issue by searching through public postings for the hashtags #travelban, #muslimban, #nobannowall, #refugees, #Americafirst, and #buildthewall. The vast majority of views presented by those using these hashtags were against the ban. One common theme held by those against the ban is that it was discriminatory. By adding Venezuela and North Korea to the list, the social media opinion is that Trump is trying to distract from it being a racist ban targeting Muslims. For example, Aram Shahinfard (2017) states in his Facebook update, “So he added a few more countries to make it a not-muslim ban? It is still not acceptable!” His Facebook friend,
Donald Trump has recently made a decision to sign a travel ban, which bans seven countries from entering the United States in a certain amount of days. The travel ban is a very controversial topic. Many news stations write about it, but show bias either defending it or are against it. The news caster’s are “Fox News,” “New York Times,” and a video of John Kelly all show bias towards a side of the controversy.
Terrorism has been a major problem for all people in the 21st century, with so much fear in our lives there have been regulations and rules set by the government to protect its citizens. The US has tried many different ways to prevent terrorism, but perhaps the most controversial are the travel bans. In the last year there have been several executive orders signed by the president banning travel into the United States from specific countries. Many of the previous presidents have placed travel bans for the protection of the country but there have been more objections to the ones of 2017 than ever before. Travel bans have been placed for multiple reasons, but for the most part, all are said to share the goal of protecting the American people. Travel bans disrupt the lives of people all over the world, and in the last year they have caused major upset due to the ban on Muslim majority countries, but even with all the controversy, some people believe that these bans are the best way to combat terrorism.
According to UNHCR a refugee agency, 65.3 million people are living in war zones. Another 5.5 billion people of all faiths face some form of religion persecution, including physical violence. People are unsafe in their own countries and homes, so they escape to other countries in search of a better chance at life. However, some of them break the rules to gain access to other countries. This results in illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is a major issue for countries around the world. According to Pew Resource, 11 million unauthorized immigrants are living in the United States. An illegal immigrant can be defined as a person who crosses the border by avoiding inspection or without a visa. This phenomenon is making countries blame
