Following
through with his promises he made during the campaign President Trump
approved an executive order that suspended entry of all refugees to the
US for 120 days and Syrian refugees indefinitely. This order blocked
entry of citizens from, seven predominantly Muslim countries, Iran,
Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. The president promised
that this order will "save thousands of lives, millions of jobs and
billions and billions of dollars."
There
are many opposed to President Donald Trump’s new immigration policy.
Many people believe it is unconstitutional and does not follow the
foundation of freedom that America has worked on for many years. Many
citizens and even some of Trump’s administration are concerned.
In
February, the courts challenged Trump’s ban on immigration. It did not
make it past the court but now there is a new revision. On March 6,
Trump signed the official ban that is a temporary ban on all refugees.
This ban, bans six Muslim majority countries but if a refugee from the
six countries who have a valid visa or permanent resident are able to
stay in the country.
