U.S. could be viewed as danger to many

Posted December 08, 2016 11:01 pm

According to Donald Trump, there was a precedent set during the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII for establishing a registry for immigrants entering from a Muslim country.

His policy would require Muslims to enter through a database. Trump's new policy creates a violation to the first amendment for those entering the country.

This policy not only violates the first amendment but also violates secularism. There is supposed to be a separation of church and state, but with Trump's policy people from a foreign country coming to the United States are losing their right as equals to those who were born in America, which is one of the main reasons many people come to America.

America will now be viewed as a danger to a large community.
