Donald Trump is sending a
message to Muslims around the world that they are all suspects. This
has profound implications for our ability to work with governments in
the Middle East in the fight against terrorism. One of the countries
named in this Executive order is Iraq, our closest ally in the fight
against ISIS. Conflict and war is forcing millions around the world
from their homeland. Donald Trump's Muslim ban directly undermines our
historic commitment to international cooperation and international
refugee aid. That is why world leaders have joined the chorus of
millions of Americans who do not support the Muslim ban. America has always been a beacon to those fleeing persecution and
violence.
