Hey – allow me to take a few minutes to explain why banning Muslims from entering
the United States is illogical, unchristian, and unconstitutional.
Because in case you didn't understand this is a bad thing to do.

The president issued an executive order issued
on Friday, January 27, 2017 that changed the country's immigration policies.
This order bans all immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States from citizens
of 7 different countries – Iran, Iraq, Lybia, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.
This order also stops people from entering the country even if they have a visa.
The administration has not given consistent answers on weather or not this applies to
legal permenant residents of the United States.
This order was allegedly put into place as a protection from terrorism, but no foreign
national from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, or Yemen has ever killed any American
in a terrorist attack.
In fact most of the, incredibly rare, attacks that take place in the United States are executed
by citizens or permanent residents.
So "there is little national security benefit to Trump's executive order on immigration"
This executive order also suspended refugee
admission into the United States from all countries for 120 days – and specifically
suspended Syrian refugee resettlement for an indefinite amount of time.
To be clear, the vetting process for a Syrian refugee can take more than 2 years to complete and
banning refugees from entering United States after they've been issued visas is despicable and doesn't
lead to us being any better protected. Or those refugees being better vetted when they enter the United States.
Although no refugees are currently being allowed into the United States at all – Trump has
stated that once the program restarts Christian refugees will be prioritized because Christ
said to love your neighbor, but only the ones that share your beliefs.
*He never said that* This ban is unchristian.
Pope Francis spoke about the matter and said that "You cannot be a Christian without
doing what Jesus teaches us in Matthew 25.
It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee, or someone seeking
help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help.
If I say I am a Christian, but do these things, I am a hypocrite."
Pope Francis specifically cited Matthew 25 where Jesus says that what we did for the
least of these we did for him – like when we feed the hungry, give the thirsty something
to drink, clothe people who need clothes, take care of the sick, visit people in prison,
and of course inviting a stranger in and welcoming them.
However, this executive order being unbiblical and unchristian doesn't matter to anyone
except the christian voters really as the United States has no official religion and
the religious freedom to practice your own religious beliefs, whatever those may be under the first amendment.
This order is also unconstitutional and illegal so we should talk about that.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani was interviewed on January 28, and explained how the administration's
immigration policy changed from one that was overtly unconstitutional to a slightly more
concealed kind of unconstitutional.
The interviewer asked, "Does the ban have anything to do with religion?" Giuliani
answered that , "When he [Trump] first announced it, he said 'Muslim ban.'
He called me up, he said, 'Put a commission together, show me the right way to do it legally.'"
I put a commission together with Judge Mukasey, with Congressman McPaul, Pete King,
a whole group of other very expert lawyers on this and what we did was, what we focused on
instead of religion, danger! The areas of the world that create danger for us.
Which is a factual basis not a religious basis - perfectly legal, perfectly sensible. And that's what the ban is based on.
which flimsily avoids a direct declaration against Muslims, but it
still has the same motive and much of the same effects as it would if this were a direct
ban on Muslims.
This executive order violates the freedom of religion clause in the first amendment
as it acts to establish law on religious grounds and it violates the equal protection clause
of the 14th amendment because it institutes a policy of discrimination against a religious minority.
It is also in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which an executive order
does not have the ability to override.
American Hero, and former acting attorney general of the United States, Sally Yates
was fired after announcing that she would not defend the immigration ban in courts.
She wrote that "At present, I am not convinced that the defense of the executive order is
consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the executive order is
lawful" and for saying, as attorney general, that she didn't think something was legal
she was fired.
She was fired for doing her job and attempting to uphold the constitution.
This executive order is unchristian, unethical, illegal, un-American, and unconstitutional.
It has no national security benefits, it does nothing to further protect citizens from threats,
and does absolutely nothing to help the millions of refugees who are actually fleeing terror attacks.
It's a bad order.
And if you know of any way to help the people affected by it please let me know down in
the comments because we are stronger together, we are better when we act as a community – and
