President Trump’s ban on people from some Muslim countries has generated a lot of controversies
The president made this tweet following the worldwide condemnation that followed his recent order.
Trump in his tweet said: “Everybody is arguing whether or not it is a BAN. Call it what you want, it is about keeping bad people (with bad intentions) out of country!’ he said in a Wednesday morning tweet.”
Going further, he said:”If the ban were announced with a one week notice, the “bad” would rush in to our country during that week. A lot of bad “dudes” out there!”
Protesters say there should not be any ban in the US
Recall that Trump signed an executive order banning refugees from Syria and travelers from that country, as well as Sudan, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Somalia and Libya, for 90 days.
Following the ban, protests have erupted at international airports and lawmakers from both sides of the divide have lambasted Trump’s order which mostly affects people from Muslim countries.
Protests have erupted over the recent immigration ban across the US
Sean Spicer, white House press secretary, has continued to dismiss the idea that Trump imposed a ban.
“He has made very, very clear that this is not a Muslim ban. This is not a travel ban,” Spicer said.
Meanwhile, Justen Charters, a deputy editor and commentator for Independent Journal Review, has blasted those who demonstrated across the US over the recent executive order placing a temporary ban on seven Muslim-dominated countries by President Trump.
