During the primaries, Trump made some rude comments towards the family of Captain Humayun Khan who was killed in Iraq in 2004. This scandal shed light on Trump's feelings toward Muslims. Trump enforced a travel ban on Muslims from certain countries so they couldn't come into the United States. There have been many Arab-American and Muslim service members that have joined since 9/11, and they were accepted. The ban is endangering people of the countries that were banned because of terrorsim in those places. For many Arab and Muslim refugees who joined the U.S. military, they are shocked at the Grand Old Party's anti-Islamic sentiments.
This relates to what we've been learning in class because we have been learning about primaries and the Grand Old Party.
I don't think there should be a ban of Muslims coming into our country. I get that some places have more threats than others, but instead of not allowing certain people from certain places from coming into our country, we should do a better job of checking their backgrounds and not discriminating. People want to get away from the terror where they live, and they should be granted that right.
Expand more on how it relates to class. Even if it is a stretch. You can talk about how as Americans we have lots of political cleavages and how as the American President, Trump needs to respect diversity. Just an example.
