Because a small, radical group of Muslims hurt and kill non-Muslims, Donald Trump barred Muslims from America. A small, radical group of Americans, the Ku Klux Klan hurt, killed, and would again, hurt and kill non-Whites. Indications are that with permission (“Stand down and stand by.”?) White Supremacist, neo-Nazis and assorted White Militias would hurt and kill non-Whites.
What happened to?
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The retched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”
Emma Lazarus’s sonnet, “New Colossus,”
on a plaque inside the Statue of Liberty
