Good Morning, Mrs. Foreman and fellow classmates, I’d like to thank you for letting me present to you my information today. Our current president, Donald Trump, has caused an uproar with his recent executive decision of his ban on immigrants from certain countries. This intolerable act by our nation’s leader is debated politically as what would be the best choice for Americans.
Personally, there are many ways that one can experience discrimination and intolerance of all types. I am interracial, race has always been a prevalent topic dealing with intolerance. My religious beliefs of my family and I are different from the public norm, and we have experienced some recoil when talking about that subject. I know what it’s like to be in the category

This executive act is unconstitutional, as compared to how the U.S. encourages foreigners to enter into our country the legal way, when this individual right is being restricted from foreigners because they’re perceived to be “bad people.” Vox Media News states that none of the attacks in the last 15 years on U.S. Soil have come from people who originate from these 7 banned countries. Incidents like San Bernardino, Fort Hood, and the Orlando night-club shootings, the leaders of these attacks have Pakistani, Palestinian, and Afghan descents. None of these countries in regards to the attacks were on Trump’s list to keep immigrant natives out. In fact, all of them were citizens of the United States, they were born on American soil. Vox Media also states that there have been more terrorist attacks on U.S. Soil that have been conjured by radical christians inside the U.S. itself, rather than Islamic-based movements. MSNBC interviewed a former congressman asking for his views on the immigration ban, and he brings up the fact of freedom of religion is a huge staple as to what our country was founded upon, and our current President is violating the pivotal laws of the Constitution by acting …show more content…
Bush ordered a national registry policy on foreign members of “high terrorism activity” countries. This continued all the way through the Obama terms as well, leading up to 2011, where President Barack Obama singled out those 7 countries at the time, as the biggest threats to our nation. Trump is looking to perform similar acts while enacting his new order on the travel ban, which from his statements will “prove to be effective on keeping terrorism out,” as it did back in the early 2000’s. Many will argue that the masses of people who are not citizens should not be able to abide by the laws of the Constitution until they are granted citizenship. how un-american is it that our current President is looking to install a religious test on immigrants which is included in our vetting process? Sources of NPR and the New York Times showed that for refugees living in a muslim-majority nation, they were religiously tested, and the christians and other minority religions in these countries were granted priority over Muslims. This is completely unconstitutional and unamerican, freedom of religion allows people to migrate to our country without having to worry about being discriminated against because of what they believe
We probably know discrimination occurs in any situation, and it depends on individual reasons, or societal. Today, we know discrimination of race is unlawful, but it is still existent in some people, and it gets skillfully concealed under some form. For example, in the essay “Black Man Ponders His Power to Alter Public” by Brent Staples, the author is a black man, he explains some encounters that he has been a victim of the discrimination of skin color from people around him. Discrimination can appear in any situation and everywhere. I love America, because this country included many different races; it makes me think of the beautiful colorful flowers on the prairies. I thought discrimination was over; however, due to different racial have built the discrimination still inside of some people. Therefore, I had gained some experience of skin color discrimination from others put on me since when I stepped on this America land. I believe discrimination of skin color brings me the feelings of isolated, unequal, and humiliate. Discrimination is a terrible thing; if it happens to you, you will understand how it feels.
Because of widespread accusations of terrorism and the general fear that Muslims are terrorists and the entire religion is at fault, Muslims are being treated like they’re less than human. Similarly, Jews were treated like they were less than human because many German citizens blamed their struggles on Jewish people. The only difference is that America hasn’t mass murdered millions of Muslim citizens, at least not yet. I am by no means saying that America will have a neo-Holocaust with Muslim people, but there are far too many similarities in the treatment of these people simply because of their religions. During his run for president, Donald Trump proposed a total ban on Muslims entering the United States. He also suggested that Muslims turn in other Muslims for acting suspiciously, and that all Muslims enter a national registry and wear some sort of identification. This is terrifyingly similar to what Adolf Hitler ordered of the Jewish people living in Germany, including the infamous yellow star that Jews had to
Everyone at some point in time or another experiences discrimination; no one lives a sheltered enough life not to. As a society we need to admit that discrimination is present at all times and stop being so sensitive to how we are labeled or perceived. Pretending discrimination does not exists does not solve a problem, it makes it stronger. Until it is no big deal in the eyes of all involved it will still be an issue that no one is truly prepared to tackle due to the amount of hate that will then be heaped upon them. Dr. King’s example is also a tragic one, a man who preached love for all, equality for all, and a sense of the brotherhood of man, was gunned down by one man who didn’t agree with his views. So perhaps the individual approach will be the best for now as this shows us one man’s view changed a world and one man’s view ended a life.
Immigration has always and will always be an essential part of America’s demographic and cultural diversity. Our country was founded on the immigration of Europeans to the New World; without them our nation would not be as advanced as it is today. Over the past three centuries, America’s immigration policies have evolved, both positively and negatively. Although we are moving forward, several episodes in our country’s immigration policy have targeted and attacked certain ethnic or cultural groups. Throughout America there is disparity regarding attitudes toward immigrants. Policies fluctuate throughout the entire country, different states, and even major cities. As the United States moves forth, it is vital that we remember how crucial immigrants
Many people know the name Donald Trump very well, while others know little about him. Some have very strong opinions to Trump running for president and others are on his side, despite what he says. This is a very controversial topic in politics right now, especially because he has many supporters and he is a republican. Donald Trump has too many suspicions about his running for president. For example, he ran for president before as a Democrat but failed and he went to run again, but is now a Republican. Trump also had gone bankrupt before, yet he is running for president. He also has made statements that he wants to stop immigrants from coming into the United States, which has made a lot of people believe he is racist. There are many different
As a result from extreme hard work and perseverance followed by an unmatchable drive to succeed, Donald J. Trump has earned the right to be known as a multi-billionaire, real estate icon, and President of the United States of America. Reflecting on his life, he has faced many challenges and overcame them all. To understand how he rose to success and his journey to the top of the kingpin, it is important to recognize how he saw the american dream and pursued it. Today, many recognize him as the president but very few can fully grasp all that he has done in his life. From his start as a real estate mogul, to his impact on media, there are many questions as to how he became so recognizable today.
On November 12, 2015 Donald Trump gave a speech in Fort Dodge at a community college. In this speech he talks about borders in the United States and how we have such relaxed borders compared to any other country, where you get fined a lot of money, prison time or even killed for crossing their borders illegally. While, in America you get a job, healthcare, and education, Trump believes that 's why we are in debt. Illegal immigrants, also can have babies in America and they automatically become legal citizens and Donald Trump call them "anchor babies".
The lessons I learned this semester through the Scholars Latinx Initiative program have profoundly given my life a new meaning. Something magical occurred within Greenlaw Hall -- in the midst of exploring conflicting identities, social injustice, racism, fear, and the immigrant struggle we, nineteen compassionate students and one passionate instructor, rediscovered empathy and humanity. The reality however, is that outside of this bubble that is Chapel Hill, I live in a nation in which my neighbors and governmental representatives voted for a presidential candidate who said no to tolerance and promised to take back the economy of a country that had been stained by the dreams of immigrants. My response to Donald Trump and his supporters is that
Yellow hair. Real estate mogul. Presidential frontrunner. 4.5 billion dollars. What do all these things have in common? They all are accomplishments of Donald Trump. Donald John Trump, Sr. was born June 14th 1946 in Queens New York. I am here to talk to you today about Donald Trump’s real estate career, how he got into the business and how he go into politics. Trump is most well known for being an American business magnate, investor, author, reality television personality, and Republican candidate for President of the United States in the 2016 presidential election.
Donald Trump is the 45th president and currently still our president. He is a well educated and wealthy man that had become the president of the United States. Donald Trump has been in office for awhile now and there has been a lot of hate or love for him. Based on his opinions and what he does as the presidents gives people their thoughts on Donald Trump. As a president he makes a lot of bold moves and does act out. He is a president that speaks his mind and has no remorse sometimes. Donald Trump fan base is huge. He is a very popular man on social media and in general. What makes him the popular man that he is today is based of his actions. Donald Trump's base of supporter is massive and continues to grow based off of what he does in office. Donald Trump is just outrageous and really speaks his mind when it
Also, when it comes to choosing a president, people want to hear everything they have planned for the US, but many also want to hear about what they have to say about the immigration problems. Today, candidate Donald Trump, has a strong argument on immigration problems. Going more against Mexico, Trump says, that Mexico should pay to make a better wall for the border and that he wants to deport all illegal immigrants from Mexico back to Mexico. He also says that it is Mexico’s fault they are in the situation they are in, and that is why many are coming to the US. Mexicans and Latinos make up a huge part of the US, and many of these people started to dislike him.
The United States of America is known as the nation of freedom, a place to make dreams come true, and where equal rights are followed. However, our education in history shows a different perspective. The citizens have had a complicated time convincing the mind of Congress on modifying the rights of the people. Before, women could not vote to choose the future of America, yet after many marches, the women who rose up to speak with great fervor accomplished their goal of making it possible for women to vote. The Presidential Election is a time for people to vote for the leader of the country. As I turn 18 yrs old, I have the opportunity to vote for this country’s future. What led me to the desire of voting was hearing Donald Trump’s negative
Welcome to America. Land of the free, home of the brave. A place they call the “land of opportunity”. Or more famously touted as the “American Dream”. It seems like by just hearing these phrases all you have to do is journey to America to make your dreams come true. That life will be easier by just being in America. Like America is the ice cream man with his truck that plays that all too familiar jingle. As soon as you hear it, like a child you are out of your house pining for his attention so that he may stop and give you the cool, sweet refreshment that everyone loves. Yet, forgetting that in order to get the sweet treat you need to pay. Because, no matter how friendly, nice, or inviting he is. He still needs to work, he still needs to keep his lights on, he has mouths to feed. That ice cream is not free. There is no free lunch.
Even though, discriminatory behaviors are done in many forms, they all involve in some form of exclusion or rejection. Over the years there have been several incident regarding discriminating against me and love ones. This behavior allows the individual to feel self-wanted or completely bring their self-esteem down. Discriminating denigrates the individual’s ability. It may question their being as a person. Who is anyone to determine ones being? We live a world that we use the term “All men are created equal.” Yet, we refuse to follow our saying. Most Americans are hypocrites. They pretend to have virtues, morals religious beliefs, and principals yet we are full of hat...
For example, there could be a small town where everyone knows each other and live comfortably right. In this particular situation there could be one family of a minor race or religion living among a dominant race or religion and everyone could get along reasonably fine. While on the other hand, there could be a small town where the dominant race or religion discriminates or becomes prejudice against the minority race or religion in that town. This discrimination could be taught by their peers, family, the education system or even making a judgement of a person through what the media has stereotyped this certain group or
