US ban

2017-07-07
PRESIDENT Donald Trump`s executive order banning people from seven Muslim countries from entering America has sent mixed feelings across the world. Although there are various reasons being quoted for this order, such radical steps will put facets like culture and knowledge on the backburner. When it comes to knowledge and culture, there should be no restrictions. Knowledge can be acquiredanywhere in the world. There are many professionals from other countries working in the US now. What if another executive orderrestricts these people too? Such chauvinistic steps will attract backlash from other countries.True, the safety of the American people should be high on the agenda, but for the strict security rather than entry ban is needed.
