The Border

Immigration has made America into to the country it is today. The discovery of America was made by voyagers traveling from a different country, and they would be consider immigrants. Since then, America has grown larger and greater and it started with immigrants.

Republican Donald Trump, has very strong view against immigrants, especially against Muslims. His view is to block all Muslims from entering the country. In the article “Candidate dismisses criticism of his plan to keep Muslims out of U.S.,” It says “Trump's plan would block Muslim visitors and immigrants who want to move to the United States.” This is restricting only a certain group of people from coming to the “free land.” America is considered the free land because anyone is welcomed and they are granted freedom, as they become American citizens. But with Trump’s plan, he is being prejudice against Muslims. Because of terrorist attacks from ISIS and the events of 9/11, Trump has been influenced that all Muslims are bad. This however is not the case. If Trump’s ideas take action, innocent Muslims who are trying to find a better life in America will no longer have that opportunity. Just by past events, Trump will ruin lives of many Muslims who seek help. 

Just because he starts denying access to Muslims, doesn’t mean America is safe. There is more crimes than just terrorist attacks and one big point is all terrorist are not just Muslims. An person can be fit to terrorize, but Trump does not think about that. He is so narrow minded about the events from the past that he doesn’t think about other possibilities. For example, how about all these police officers who have murdered innocent people. These officers are not all Muslim, but still terrorize the community. A lot of people do not trust these officers anymore, but Trump doesn’t see them as a threat.
