President Trump issued an executive order that suspended entry from Muslim countries and added religious tests giving Christians and other minority religions priority over Muslim people.
President Trump on Friday closed the nation’s borders to refugees from around the world, ordering that families fleeing the slaughter in Syria be indefinitely blocked from entering the United States, and temporarily suspending immigration from several predominantly Muslim countries.
In an executive order that he said was part of an extreme vetting plan to keep out “radical Islamic terrorists,” Mr. Trump also established a religious test for refugees from Muslim nations: He ordered that Christians and others from minority religions be granted priority over Muslims.
The United States has always been far from perfect. But today, with a stroke of a pen, Donald Trump has destroyed the idea of what is is to be an American. The shame I feel.
