Immigrant ban

Diala Shamas’ Dec. 20 opinion article, The United States already bans Muslims, is well worth reading.

In the United States, there are four provisions from the government that tend to deny entry and/or permanent residence, according to Shamas. Contrary to what she sees as discrimination, I see it as appropriate and necessary because members of that group are trying to harm us, so far successfully.

It probably should be made broader to include more people. It certainly backs up what Donald Trump has been saying.
