&quot;President Trump’s recent executive order is not only potentially unconstitutional, but deeply un-American. We are a nation of immigrants, after all. In the tech world,&quot;<p>We are a nation of immigrants. Trump didn&#x27;t institute a Muslim ban. He instituted a temporary ban from 7 specific countries for 90 days. This is only until we have a better vetting system.<p>Obama did something similar in 2009 when he temporarily banned Iraqi citizens for 6 months. I didn&#x27;t hear a peep out of anyone. Why?<p>The only flaw I see in his executive order is the fact that he didn&#x27;t give anyone enough time to implement it and it caused compete chaos. There also should have been some exemptions for travelers or green card holders.<p>I have many friends that are legal, US citizens and came to the US through legitimate means. Glorifying illegal immigration is a slap in the face to all the people that went through all of the proper channels to get citizenship.<p>&quot;Right now, Lady Liberty’s lamp is dimming&quot;<p>It&#x27;s not. It&#x27;s getting brighter. We finally have a president that cares about the citizens of this country. I feel like many immigrants that do come here don&#x27;t really love the country that they are calling their new home.<p>If I wore a &quot;Make America Great Again&quot; hat in public, I would risk getting spit on and beat up. The real brown-shirt fascists are the anti-trump fanatics that won&#x27;t actually have a civil debate and use violence towards people they don&#x27;t like.<p>When there is a seemingly civil debate, fascists on social media will attempt to destroy the person&#x27;s personal life and get them fired from their job or boycott their company and put them out of business.
