Hello! So as many of you are aware, Donald Trump, or as I like to call him, Fuhrer Cheese Puff, has banned people from seven different Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States. These pictures that I have included are people protesting the ban of immigrants from the United States at the JFK airport in New York four days ago. People who were coming into the United States at the time of the ban were held at the airport, unable to go anywhere. Many people were sent back on a plane home after arriving. Normally, I do not go into politics. However, this ban has struck home with me. I am not a Citizen of the United States, I am a Canadian citizen born in Saint Johns, Newfoundland, Canada. It is nerve wracking seeing people from other countries being deported back to their country of citizenship, knowing that I myself am not American. I understand that right now the ban is on Muslim-majority countries, however I can't help but wonder where this ban is going to lead us. Are all people from different countries who are not citizens, visa or not, going to be deported in the future? Is it going to become impossible for anyone to apply for citizenship? What is going to happen next? Due to this, I will start working on getting my citizenship in the next few weeks. I am ashamed to be living in the United States right now, where people are telling me it is ok to keep refugees who are seeking help and safety out of the United States, and that people living in the middle east are our enemies. I am hoping this madness ends, for the sake of America and the world.
