So religion means a lot to our family, not just on a personal basis but what America means when it comes to religion. When this President is so casual with the constitutional guarantees of religion, I don't believe he is serving the United States or honoring the history that came before him. There have been so many issues that have come up during the 11 days of his Presidency, but President Trump's decision to turn away innocent people fleeing persecution, genocide, and terror and to ban immigrants on the basis of religion is the worst, in my view. This attack is not only un-American, it risks alienating 1 billion Muslims around the world. Some of the most conservative people in this country--I am certain Republicans--have said over and over again: Don't do this.
