But above all, it broke
the values of freedom and image of the US over the world. There are about
900 American diplomats also shares the same opinion and have jointly signed a
document to formally protest the ban on entry of President Donald Trump.
They claim that this ban
will harm the country, will not make America
safer, but also send the wrong message to the Muslim world, alienating
relations with the countries that have supported the US in the fight against terrorism.
Meanwhile, outside of the United States, the UN Secretary General has criticized the immigration decree of Donald Trump. According to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, all countries have the right, even the obligation, to manage responsibly the borders to prevent the infiltration of terrorist elements.

But this can not be done
based on the distinction of religion, ethnicity or nationality, because it is
against the principles and basic values that build up the society.
According to the UN
Secretary General, the ban has "sparked anxiety and spread anger, which
can facilitate a propaganda campaign of the terrorist organizations that we all
want to destroy.
Earlier, many world
leaders have also criticized the decree of the US
President such as Canada's
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, French President Francois Hollande and British
Prime Minister's Office, Theresa May.
The order limits entry for at least 90 days from
Syrian travellers and other Muslim-majority countries, but did not list the
countries by name. The state department said the three-month ban in the
directive applied to Iraq, Syria, Iran,
Sudan, Libya, Somalia
and Yemen
- all Muslim-majority nations./.

Is this a Muslim ban?
"Welcome Muslims" and "Let them in."
Does the travel ban affect you, your friends or loved ones?
"I stand with the people gathered across the country tonight defending our values & our Constitution. This is not who we are," said Hilary Clinton
Calls to ban Muslims from entering the US are offensive and unconstitutional,
We're all humans and we all share the same world and deserve a place to be happy and healthy,
No Muslim Ban!!!
This executive order sends a signal, intended or not, that America does not want Muslims coming into the country
In truth, refugees are fleeing terror -- they are not terrorists
It doesn't matter whether you are black or white, Jewish or Muslim, we're all human
