Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Muslim
ban: Japanese and Muslim Americans join forces
One of
the most distinct and convenient way to classify people at the port of entry is
the nationality by passport because it is an official document to identify who
the bearer is. There are over 300 ports of entries to the U.S. The government
can easily block entries of unwanted people whose passports are issued by the
designated countries, and detain or send those individuals back to their port
of origin. Until the executive order banning people from seven Muslim-majority
nations was blocked by a federal judge, there had been chaotic confusions not
only at those ports of entries but also in the airports around the world. No
one had ever imagined a valid visa to the U.S. is revoked without prior warnings.
But it
is not the first time such discriminatory act took place in US history. Back in
World War II era, many Japanese Americans were detained in the camps.
Now
those who were and are discriminated are trying to work together to resist
President’s segregation acts.
Enjoy
reading and thinking what sort of moves can be provoked by an inconsiderate
act.
