Immigration has always been a controversial subject in the United States. As a new administration begins its four-year reign, many illegal immigrants are worried about their positions within the U.S. For centuries, immigrants have migrated to the U.S. in hopes of obtaining the “American Dream.” However, when Trump announced his intention to run for the presidency, the American Dream seemed to become inaccessible for many hopeful Mexican and Muslim immigrants. Trump’s campaign rhetoric hit home for many Americans, and his ideals made him a forerunner for the Republican party. His fear mongering resonated with what so many white, Midwestern and Southern Americans believe: illegal Mexican immigrants are coming into America to rape our women, murder us, and take away jobs from hardworking citizens and Muslim immigrants are coming here to create terror. This led him to propose the building of a wall between the U.S. and Mexican border. He also proposed a travel ban on people from six majority Muslim countries. These, he deemed were a safety measure. As Trump continuously utilized institutional racism to grow his popularity among U.S. voters, Mexican and Muslim immigrants’ fears heightened. His controversial election shocked the world, leading many world leaders to welcome immigrants into their countries with open arms. Justin Trudeau, Canada’s prime minister, especially pushed back against Trump’s proposed bills. Throughout this dark time in American politics, Canada has continuously led by example as to how immigrants should be treated.

Recently, the Trump administration executed a mass-deportation of many illegal immigrants back to Mexico. With tensions already heightened between Mexico and the U.S., this angered the Mexican government. Throughout Trump’s campaign, he ignorantly stated that Mexico would be paying for a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border. However, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has continuously stated that Mexico would not pay for such an extravagant measure. Further, Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray has said that he will vigorously fight the deportations of undocumented immigrants back to Mexico, as well as refuse to accept any non-Mexicans sent across the border (Agren and Stanglin). Videgaray has also said that the treatment of Mexican migrants in the United States will top Mexico’s agenda when President Nieto meets with the U.S. Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security. This announcement came shortly after Trump’s administration unveiled its tough new guidelines for enforcing immigration laws (Agren and Stanglin). The Trump Administration’s new guidelines are an example of the bullying that was prevalent during his campaign, and that is continuing well into his presidency. The Mexican government has even suggested it will go to the United Nations to defend the rights of its migrants (Agren and Stanglin).

Trump
gained popularity because of his so-called tough-on-crime platform, however, he
incessantly forces his political ideals on the world, straining U.S.-World
relations. Mexico is an important ally, but Trump’s unfair proposals are
further damaging an important relationship, as well as potentially hurting the
American economy. Although the Department of Homeland Security has said the new
directives focus on criminals and those who pose a threat to the U.S., they
expand the authority of federal agents to deport most of the 11 million
undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States (Agren and
Stanglin).

Mexican
immigrants are not the only ones who Trump attacked on the campaign trail. He
also proposed a ban on Muslims. The Muslim ban is an extremely offensive and
racist directive, as it is like that of Adolf Hitler’s when he terrorized
Germany’s Jewish community. The Muslim ban is yet another example of Trump’s
use of ones’ identity to instill unnecessary hatred. Recently in the news, many
immigrants from seven majority Muslim countries have been stopped at airports
upon entering the U.S.  Many of these
Muslims work for U.S. companies or are students, teachers, and people trying to
visit their family members.

On
January 31st, 2017, Trump signed an executive order that
indefinitely suspends admissions of Syrian refugees and limits the flow of
other refugees in a process he has coined as “extreme vetting.” This executive
order was a way to make good on one of his campaign promises to tighten border
security and halt certain refugees from entering the U.S. According to CNN, the
order bars all persons from certain “terror-prone” countries from
entering the United States for 90 days and suspends the U.S. Refugee Admissions
Program for 120 days until it is reinstated “only for nationals of
countries for whom” members of Trump’s Cabinet deem can be properly
vetted. The countries impacted by this hurtful ban are Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan,
Libya, Yemen and Somalia. His order also set out to cancel the Visa Interview
Waiver Program, which once allowed repeat travelers to the United States to be
able to forgo an in-person interview to renew their visa (Merica). Under the
new order, these travelers will now have to have in-person interviews.

Fortunately,
Democrats across the country vigorously fought this unlawful ban. A Washington
state federal judge issued a temporary nationwide restraining order which
stopped President Trump’s executive order banning citizens of seven countries from
entering the United States (Seipel). The travel ban unfairly targets Muslims
and violates the constitutional rights of immigrants and their families. Just
like Mexican immigrants, Muslims have been targeted by Trump and racially
profiled.

After
Trump was elected as the 45th President of the United States, Canada
began to prepare itself for a surge in Mexican migrants. Canada reportedly
lifted the visa requirement amid the uncertainty of Donald Trump’s promises to
crack down on undocumented immigrants. Mexican visitors will now no longer need
visas to enter Canada. This momentous move has Canada anticipating an influx in
Mexican tourists and business travelers. The visa was enacted in 2009, by
Canada’s previous Conservative government to address an increase in “bogus”
refugee claims (The Guardian). This visa lift, instated right after Trump’s
vows to expel millions of illegal immigrants, could cause a substantial
increase in Mexican asylum seekers.

According
to The Guardian, between the years 2005 and 2008, refugee claims from Mexico
nearly tripled. This made Mexico the number one source country for claims, with
more than 9,400 claims filed by Mexicans in 2008. However, only 11% were
accepted (The Guardian). The previously Conservative Canadian government
embraced the visa as a means of border control. However, the Canadian
government was pressured by Mexico to end the policy after the number of asylum
seekers plummeted in 2015. Justin Trudeau, the current Canadian prime minister
agreed to get rid of the visa in exchange for Mexico expanding its imports of
Canadian beef (The Guardian). In an interview, Justin Trudeau stated that this
move would make it easier for Canada’s Mexican friends to visit while helping
grow Canada’s local economies and strengthen their communities. During the time
the visa lift was announced, no one believed that Trump stood a real chance of
winning the presidency against Hillary Clinton, the popular democratic
candidate especially after his vows to build the wall along the shared border
of the U.S. and Mexico.  Although Canada
lifted the visa requirement for Mexican travelers without anticipating Trump’s
presidency, it came at a time when Mexican migrants needed it the most. Canada
has proven itself to be a leader and a friend in a difficult time for
immigrants worldwide.

An
immigration lawyer in Toronto, Lorne Waldman, said that the lifting of the visa
requirement is going to be a major factor attracting people to come to Canada. Anticipating
an influx of migrants, Waldman compared it to the wave of Muslims that entered
Canada after 9/11. As Muslims saw a significant crackdown on immigrants
entering the U.S. from the Middle East, there was increase in the number of
people who crossed the border from the U.S. into Canada at that time.

Since
day one of his campaign, Trump has used racist lingo. In his first speech, back
in 2015, he labeled Mexican immigrants as rapists and criminals. He also went
on to say that Mexico is not sending their best people, rather they’re sending
people with lots of problems. He further stated that Mexican immigrants were
bringing in drugs and bringing in crime. A few weeks later, he labeled Mexican
immigrants as “killers.” Trump’s continuous use of hateful rhetoric is
damaging. By labeling these people, he is instilling fear in the American
people of a group of individuals, who for the most part, just want to create
better lives for themselves. Trump even went so far as to say that the Mexican
government was purposely sending us criminals because they don’t want to deal
with them. By making false accusations, Trump is creating an unnecessary hatred
of a group of people who are in the United States to obtain the American Dream
that for over two hundred years, we have proudly represented as a core American
value.

By
2016, President Trump had made numerous racist remarks about people with
Mexican heritage. He criticized a federal judge who presided over a fraud case
against Trump University. He angrily suggested that the court ruling wouldn’t
be fair because the jurist was Mexican. Curiel, an Indiana native, refused to
dismiss the civil lawsuits Trump was facing. At many of his rallies, supporters
chanted “build the wall,” a rallying cry of thinly vailed racism.  His hurtful rhetoric promotes racism.

NPR
published an article on Trump’s CPAC appearance. President Donald Trump made
the claim that while he was speaking, immigration officers were out finding
gang members, drug dealers and criminal aliens and throwing them out. Trump’s
claims falsely create assumptions of the type of people coming the United
States. As a third-generation American, I find these to be incredibly hurtful.
My great grandparents fled from Nazi Germany to Colombia in hopes of a better
life. From Colombia, they traveled to the United States. My great grandparents,
just like so many other immigrants, came to the United States to follow the
American Dream. The United States provides hope for so many people, and Trump
has continuously made offensive statements that tarnish the American ideals.

Canada’s
prime minister Justin Trudeau weighed in on Trump’s controversial immigrant
ban. He tweeted that Canada would welcome immigrants and refugees fleeing from
persecution. He mentioned that diversity is where Canada’s strength lies. He
also tweeted a #CanadianIsACanadian.” It is leaders like this who better the
world. Trump has continuously bullied people and shamed them for their
identity. He claims that refugees want to hurt Americans, however most of them
just want to escape the war-torn countries they come from. Canada has also
announced that they will continue to accept asylum seekers who are crossing the
U.S.-Canada border. The number of refugees crossing the border into Canada has
increased in recent weeks amid fears that President Trump will crack down on illegal
immigrants.

Trudeau
told parliament that Canada remains an open country because Canadians trust
their immigration system and the integrity of their borders and the help they
provide for people looking for safety (Reuters). Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen
also said Canada would continue to honor the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country
Agreement (Reuters). This agreement requires Canada to turn back refugees if
they make asylum claims at Canadian border crossings with the United States. However,
Amnesty International and other groups are worried that the United States is
not safe for refugees and are pressuring the Canadian government to abandon the
agreement. The United States has always been considered the home of the free
which is why it is such an attractive location for immigrants.

Trump
has made it okay for people to be openly racist. White nationalist groups
across the country have voiced their support for his presidency and Trump has
not denounced them. Steve Bannon, Trump’s chief strategist, is chairman of the
alt-right website Breitbart News. Bannon’s ex-wife has accused him of being
anti-Semitic. Bannon’s nomination was controversial as he is known to be
racist. It is choices like these that make minorities feel unwelcome in the
United States. Former president Barack Obama touted the United States as an
accepting nation of people from all walks of life. He championed the U.S. as a
provider of hope for immigrants worldwide, and as a country which allows
immigrants to celebrate their heritage. Trump is leading America down a
different path, a path that only celebrates white Americans, and leaves
minorities flailing and feeling like they don’t belong.

Recently
a Kansas man shot and killed an Indian engineer, injured another and also an
American. He reportedly yelled “get out of my country” and was making racial
slurs prior to the incident. This is not the first time a racially-motivated
act of violence has been perpetrated in recent months. When Trump began
campaigning for his presidency, racist white Americans were reported to have
committed hate crimes more than once. In some areas of the United States, Nazi
propaganda has popped up, a seemingly common trend as Trump became president
which has made immigrants, refugees, people of color, and the like
uncomfortable. In fact, many people are starting to feel unsafe leaving their
homes due to the horrific acts of violence that are taking place.

Geana
Javier, a columnist for the Daily Evergreen, recently wrote an article on hate
speech abusing free speech rights. She acknowledged that we have reached a time
where political divisiveness has attained extreme levels (Javier). It seems
that since Donald Trump’s election, people have used the right to freedom of
speech as a shield to protect hate speech. 
As previously mentioned, Trump stated that Mexico is not sending the
U.S. its “best people,” but instead rapists and drug dealers.  Geana Javier states that these comments
target an entire ethnic group and paints them in a negative light. Through
these sorts of statements, Trump has disguised his racist opinions as
immigration policies. Trump is instilling fear in the American people of an entire
ethnic group who, for the most part, are good people. Immigrants have not
contributed any more to crime than was already happening in the United States. It
is deeply distressing that intolerant social views are reflected in current
political policy.

Yahya
Abu Romman, a 22-year-old language major, does not feel welcome in the United
States. He is a Jordanian citizen, but Syrian born. Upon his college
graduation, he planned a six-week trip to the United States to celebrate. He
landed in O’Hare International Airport a few days after Trump’s travel ban was
instated. It was there and
then that the positive impression of the U.S. which his father had instilled in
him evaporated (Arraf). Romman’s father was a graduate from the University of
Illinois. He’d always told Abu that America is the land of justice, opportunity,
generosity and kindness (Arraf). Upon landing at O’Hare, however, a border officer
could not understand why Romman did not have a Syrian passport. Discussion
ensued about his brother who had lived illegally in the U.S. and overstayed a
visa before becoming a citizen (Arraf). Emails were found by the border guards
on Romman’s phone to flight schools he’d applied to in the U.S. The officer was
not convinced that he was not planning to stay in the U.S. after flight school.
This led to Romman’s visa being cancelled. When he wanted to call the Embassy
before signing the papers agreeing to being deported, he was threatened by the
border officer and told that if he did not sign, he’d be banned from entering
the U.S. ever again. Romman had visited the U.S. before and felt that the
people were welcoming. At the present time, however, he feels that is not the
case.  In his opinion, he is safer
remaining in Jordan: “America was an opportunity for people here before. But
now, no one is actually thinking about the United States for a future place to
live (Arraf).” It is experiences like these that make many people wary of
Americans. Trump has made it clear that if you are not white and a native-born
American, you are not worthy of respect.

A
cinematographer was barred from entering the United States to attend the Oscars
after his film was nominated for an academy award. The 21-year-old worked on
the harrowing film of his home country’s civil war, The White Helmets,
according to TIME Magazine. The Department of Homeland Security decided at the
last minute to block Khaled Khateeb from traveling to Los Angeles for the
Oscars (Katz). Because Khateeb was travelling from one of the Muslim majority
countries which Trump had banned, he was barred entrance into the United States.
This is just another example of how Trump is using immigration laws to promote
his racist agenda. His ban affects many people from all over the world who have
legitimate reasons for travelling to the United States.

Khaled
Almilaji is yet another victim of Trump’s controversial ban. He has been
stranded in Turkey since January 2017. His wife, who is pregnant with their
first child, patiently awaits his return to Rhode Island. A student at Brown
University, Almilaji has worked feverishly to keep up with his classes from
overseas. After a federal judge froze Trump’s ban, Almilaji had hope of
returning to his wife. Unfortunately, his hopes were dashed as he realized the
new reality for Syrians trying to study in the United States. Khaled Almilaji
has said that now Canada is looking like a better option.

Paul
Davidson, the president of Universities Canada, has said they have seen an
influx of applications from international students. The Universities Canada
website, dedicated to providing information about schools in the country, has
doubled in views since November (Students Turn to Canada in Trump Immigration
Era). Canada’s most elite universities including McGill, McMaster and the
University of Toronto saw large increases in applications from students in the
United States. Rebekah Robinson, a senior at a predominantly white school in
Maryland mentioned she was attracted to the University of Toronto because of the
diversity of its student body (Students Turn to Canada in Trump Immigration Era).
Robinson, who did not support Donald Trump in the recent presidential election,
said that his nomination made Canada even more appealing. This is not an
uncommon story in recent months. Typically, the flow of students has been
greater from north of the border rather than south, however that it is changing
as tensions in the United States continue to grow. Because of the recent
changes in immigration policies in Canada, it is easier for international
students to study there and stay upon graduation.

When
students were asked why they were interested in the University of Toronto, many
reasons were cited, most notably that the University of Toronto is ranked among
the top five public universities internationally and that it is a globally
friendly college in a globally friendly country (Students Turn to Canada in
Trump Immigration Era). Over the years, Canada has made attracting talent from
around the world a focal point. The University of Toronto is no different, and
proudly boasts that its doors are open to the world. The United States,
however, is the opposite. Unlike Canada, the United States is now a dangerous
place for many foreign nationals to be. President Donald Trump has continuously
used demeaning terminology and racial slurs during his campaign and his
presidency which has led many people of color to question their safety in a
country which has for so long championed itself as the land of the free. Donald
Trump’s hateful rhetoric makes it okay for people to be openly racist, and even
worse, express it.

Trump’s
hate speech does not only affect Muslims and Mexicans.  Since the election, more than 1,000 hate
crimes have been recorded. The Southern Poverty Law Center indicated that these
numbers were normally expected over a six-month period. Further, there have
been at least sixteen attacks on synagogues and other Jewish centers. Donald
Trump, unfortunately, has kept relatively quiet about many of these
anti-Semitic episodes. When reporters pressed him on it, Trump repeatedly
stated that he was not racist, nor was he anti-Semitic. He even went so far as
to say that any anti-Semitic behavior was the work of his political opponents
(Memoli). There has been a surge in racist and anti-Semitic graffiti and
vandalism since Trump’s election, including the use of Nazi imagery. According
to CNN, an astounding forty-eight Jewish Community Centers reported bomb
threats in the month of January alone. Trump, who claims to love Jewish people,
is under scrutiny for his lack of action and his indifference to these hate
crimes perpetrated on the Jewish community.

Trump’s
Muslim ban is a prime example of his racist agenda and a measure that Canada
has openly opposed. After Trump announced his plans to propose a ban, Justin
Trudeau tweeted that Canada would be a welcoming place to all. Universities
Canada has also expressed their support of internationals fleeing persecution,
by welcoming students, faculty, and staff from around the world to its
campuses. Unlike the United States, Canada proclaims that international
immigrants bring new knowledge, talent, and skills to higher education,
research, and innovation to the benefit of all Canadians (Students Turn to
Canada in Trump Immigration Era). Some Canadian schools even offered to waive
application fees for students who were affected by the order, and to consider
transcripts of those hoping to complete academic work in Canada (Students Turn
to Canada in Trump Immigration Era). Trump’s ban is an impediment to the free
flow of people and ideas and the values of diversity and inclusion, which are
of the utmost importance in a strong society.

ATTN
Video posted a video on Facebook which addressed how the economy would suffer
without immigrants. According to ATTN Video, America would lose up to 70% of
its farm workers, which would lead to skyrocketing food prices. Agricultural
production could lose as much as sixty billion dollars. Job creation would also
decrease as immigrants contribute to population growth which in turn increases
the demand for workers. To say that the reason people don’t have jobs because
of immigrants is untrue and ignorant. Without immigrants, social security would
take a serious hit because not enough taxes would be paid in. In 2010,
undocumented workers alone contributed 13 billion dollars to the fund. Experts
say that increasing immigration could actually save social security. Instead of
helping “make America great again,” Trump’s views and policies on immigration
which are not based in fact, not only promote racism, but hurt the economy and
ruin relations between the U.S. and other countries.

Canada
has said it will allow 300,000 immigrants to enter the country in 2017. Although
this target is unchanged from that of 2016’s plan, it is well above the average
number of immigrants who were admitted from 2011 to 2015. John McCallum, Canada’s
Minister of Immigration, has said that making 300,000 the permanent target will
lead to economic growth. Canada, which has an aging population and needs a
younger population to boost its economy, is hoping that robust immigration will
help address this problem.  And, over the
next five years, Canada is hoping to increase the number of immigrants they
accept to 450,000.

Donald
Trump wants to impose laws against immigrants which will be detrimental to the
United States’ economic growth. The United States is a nation full of
immigrants. Without these hardworking individuals, the economy will suffer.
Immigrants start businesses and are thirty percent more likely to do so than
people who are non-immigrants.  In fact,
immigrants comprise eighteen percent of all small business owners in the United
States today. Immigrant-owned businesses also create jobs for American
citizens. The Fiscal Policy Institute did a study in 2007 on businesses owned
by immigrants and found that 4.7 million people are employed by immigrants who
own businesses. Not only do immigrants create jobs for millions of Americans,
they are also more likely to create jobs for other immigrants. According to the
U.S. Department of Labor, 7.5 percent of the foreign born are self-employed
compared to 6.6 percent among the native-born (Furman and Gray). Immigrants are
an important part of the American economy. They offer innovative thinking,
which in turn helps the United States develop cutting-edge technology. Donald
Trump would like the American people to believe that we do not need immigrants
and has continuously promoted the idea that immigrants are dangerous to the
United States and to its people. He would like people to believe that Mexican
immigrants are drug dealers, murderers, rapists and other criminals and that Muslim
ones are more likely to be terrorists than non-Muslim American citizens.

Fortunately,
not all Americans hold the same beliefs as our current President.  At least thirty-seven cities across the United
States have indicated that they will not comply with Trump’s aggressive
immigration policies. These cities, known as “sanctuary cities,” tend to be located
in some of the more liberal areas of the United States. Cities including San
Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and New York have stood in defiance against the
new President of the United States. In retaliation, President Trump has stated
that he will cancel federal funding directed to these cities, which may limit
this act of federal disobedience.

Donald
Trump has made good on many of his promises regarding immigration through the
many executive orders he has issued. These radical actions against immigration
have made many feel less secure, and in some cases, downright terrorized. Trump
has signed two executive orders that direct the Department of Homeland Security
to start building the wall along the border with Mexico. This promise was a
cornerstone of his campaign. Many are concerned that it will ramp up the
repression of the undocumented and anyone who is suspected of being
undocumented to a whole new level. His travel ban, another executive order
Trump hoped to pass, targeted Muslims and singled them out as being more likely
to commit terrorist acts and therefore, they must all be kept out. This
ignorant belief highlights the fact that racism is still prevalent in the
United States. It is astounding that a nation which is so diverse, voted for a
man like Donald Trump. The hate and ignorance at the core of his political
agenda, which is directed at some of the most vulnerable groups of people in
the United States and the world, is clear.

Among
the provisions within Trump’s executive orders for his so-called wall is the instruction
to detain every single undocumented immigrant. This also includes families with
children who have been captured by the Border Patrol and who are held in a
facility. His executive order would get rid of agents’ discretion to
“detain and release” people under the condition that they appear for
an asylum interview or court date (Katch). This means that detainees will have
a much harder time obtaining legal representation and gathering evidence and
witnesses to make their cases in court. Trump also gave the Border Patrol the
ability to deport detainees who are waiting for their court dates. Another one
of his executive orders will revive a program that was shelved by the Obama
administration. This Secure Communities program allows for people who are
processed in local jails to be checked against immigration databases. If any
matches turn up, ICE is able to ask local law enforcement to hand over their
prisoners for deportation (Katch). Both these orders tighten regulations on
border crossing and immigrants. Most of the people migrating from Mexico to the
United States do so to escape the hardships they face living in Mexico.  Their goal is to earn money to send home.
Trump’s initiatives are yet another example of his distaste for immigrants. The
fear immigrants harbor is well-founded. Trump has openly made hateful forms of
Islamophobia and xenophobia central to his message from the beginning, and even
though the campaign has ended, he has yet to back down. His racial rhetoric was
made as an attempt to appeal to middle-class and working-class white Americans
who harbor resentment towards a perceived “rigged system” which Trump has
claimed numerous times benefits not only the rich, but the “line-jumping”
immigrants who take jobs ahead of those who were born in the United States
(Katch). He has maintained that these U.S. born Americans “played by the
rules.”

Throughout
his campaign and presidency, Donald Trump has used hate speech and racist
rhetoric to paint hard-working immigrants in a negative light.  He has continuously spoken negatively about
minorities who are the backbone of the United States.  Our country, which has always prided itself on
being the land of the free, is suddenly not so. The United States is now an
unsafe place for people of color to settle. Donald Trump has employed well-known
racists in his cabinet, and has yet to address the racially-motivated hate
crimes that are occurring nationwide.  As
a result, people have come to believe that under his presidency, hatred and
racism is allowed. For years, people have flocked to the United States in hopes
of attaining the American Dream. With Donald Trump as president, fewer people
feel comfortable settling here. He has used racial slurs to tarnish the identity
of millions of people and has made an effort to demonize them. Throughout this
dark time in the United States, Canada has lead with the utmost grace. Canada
has welcomed thousands of people into their country, and has let the world know
that diversity is welcomed and wanted. Unlike Donald Trump, who seems to be
advocating for a white America, Canada has graciously accepted immigrants and
treated them with respect. The current president has lost sight of what it
truly means to be an American. The United States, once a place where anyone
could pursue their dreams, is now a place where many people are unsure of their
future. In this dark time in American politics, Canada has led by example of
how immigrants should be treated. Donald Trump and the American people could
stand to learn a thing or two from our neighbors in Canada.Works
