Democrats Use Emotional Appeals to Oppose Trump's Immigration Measures

Democrats attempt emotional appeals to sway public opinion against President Trump's so-called "Muslim ban". On Friday, President Trump signed an executive order suspending all refugee admissions for 120 days and imposing a 90-day halt on entry for citizens from seven Middle Eastern nations. The order also limits refugee admissions for 2017 to 50,000, reducing the previous cap set by former President Obama. This measure faced widespread criticism from Democrats, who labeled it a "Muslim ban." Tensions escalated when former Attorney General Sally Yates, recently dismissed, publicly stated she would not defend the executive order and urged others to do the same. She was subsequently dismissed for refusing to enforce what the White House described as a legal, protective measure. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer clarified that the order is not an immigration ban but a vetting process aimed at ensuring national security.
