Muslim Ban gets real

C11-1

  Today at airports all over the country, there have been people from 7 Muslim countries trying to enter into the United States, but not being able to because of the Muslim Ban Trump put into action. I have been constantly checking twitter, seeing videos of families waiting hours for their relatives, and not knowing what's happened to them. Some of these people were in mid-flight when the Muslim ban was put into place, and they were completely unaware of what was going to happen to them once they landed. Senator Elizabeth Warren is at the Logan International Airport in Boston, protesting the ban. "It's illegal, it's unconstitutional, and it will be overturned" she says to a crowd hoping to welcome several the several Muslims, who are at this moment being detained. In a video I saw on twitter, two sisters have been waiting 8 hours for their mother, who was coming from Iraq, one of the 7 banned countries. In the video one said that their mother had gotten her visa approved on January 16th, and left yesterday to come to the US. Mid flight the ban was put into action, and now the sisters have no idea of what will happen to their mother. It has been speculated that she will be forced to return to Iraq. Does President Trump have no mercy? Does he not have eyes? Can he not see that people are suffering from his "executive order", people just want to see their families. From personal experience I know how incredibly difficult it already is to get an American Visa approved. I've only seen my relatives a few times in my life, because my family can't get their Visa's, while everyone around me gets to spend most holidays with their entire family, or just stop by grandma's for the weekend. By creating this ban on Muslims, Trump is depriving hundreds of families of the small moments we can get with our relatives. This shouldn't be the solution to stop terrorists attacking this country. It shouldn't be this hard to see our families. There shouldn't be protests at airports. This shouldn't be America. This isn't America. And I really hope Trump realizes that no matter what he does, the people will always fight back, the people will always stand up for what's right, because the people did not chose him.
