In 1939, the German oceanliner St Louis and its 937 passengers, almost all
Jewish refugees, were turned away from the port of Miami and sent back to
Europe. Of those passengers, 254 were murdered in the Holocaust. The US
government turned away those refugees, so heartbreakingly close to safety
and also restricted Jewish immigration and instituted new vetting
procedures because of rampant overblown fears that the Nazis might
smuggle spies and saboteurs in among the Jewish refugees.
.
On Friday, which was Holocaust Remembrance Day, the White House put out a
statement that failed to mention the 6 million Jews who were exterminated
by the Nazis. Hours later, Donald Trump signed an executive order
suspending all refugee resettlement for 120 days and indefinitely
suspending the resettlement of refugees from Syria.
.
In addition to banning Syrian refugees, the president ordered a ban on all
entries of the nationals of seven majority-Muslim countries: Iraq, Syria,
Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen, for 90 days, and provided that the
ban might be extended and that additional countries might be added to that
list.
.
Trumps executive order on Friday is a major step toward carrying out his
campaign threat to ban the admission of Muslims into the US. Tellingly,
Fridays order authorizes the homeland security secretary to admit refugees
on a case by case basis, notwithstanding the 120-day suspension, for
people of a minority religion in their home countries.
.
Trump announced during his press conference that his order will help
Christians to enter the US. In effect, Trump has barred Muslims from
entering the US, while favoring the entry of Christians. One of the tenets
upon which our country was founded is that religion is our own business
and not the governments.
.
We have freedom of belief. We do not have religious litmus tests for
participation in society. Trumps order is anathema to those founding
principles. It violates the first amendments establishment clause, which
prohibits the government from preferring or disfavoring any religion.
Trumps anti-Muslim policy also violates the equal protection clause, the
part of the 14th amendment that guarantees that everyone is entitled to
equal protection under the law.
.
Trumps orders are immoral as well as unconstitutional. He is barring the
entry of modern-day counterparts of the passengers of the St Louis
children injured in Syrias terrible and brutal civil war, who are at
imminent risk of being killed. And Trumps order is a slap in the face to
the millions of Americans who uphold our best traditions of welcoming the
stranger seeking refuge.
.
Trumps policy is also foolish. Former senior US military commanders,
diplomats and homeland security officials, both Democrats and Republicans,
have publicly stated that a block on refugees from Syria and other Muslim
countries is contrary to US security interests because it feeds the Isis
narrative that there is a war between Islam and the west and that Muslims
are not welcome in the US.
