Not many things in recent history have brought as much controversy as the Trump Administration travel ban. Some have seen this ban as unfair and demonstrating the ugly side of the United States and its Government. There are reasons for this. The travel ban is cruel and inhumane, the Government should not support a travel ban because no one should be profiled due to race or religion, travel is a human right, and the U.S. is a safe place for refugees.The travel ban provides much cause for concern because of the potential legality of such an extreme measure.

When the travel ban was taken to court because of it being illegal, critics stated the reason for the travel ban was not for the safety of the country. Rather, it was to assuage the political motives and religious biases of some within the country. “Courts were justifiably skeptical of the idea that legitimate national security considerations, as opposed to religious biases or political motives, drove the first version of the travel ban.” (University) This is not progress and feels like a step back from the efforts made to create equality in recent years. To racially discriminate, to discriminate…
