Donald Trump gets tough on refugees

IT BECAME fashionable during the election campaign to say
Donald Trump should be taken “seriously not literally”. Try
telling that to the hundreds of mostly Muslim refugees,
students, researchers and businessmen currently detained at
American entry ports or being slung off long-planned flights to
America. They and thousands of other law-abiding and
deserving people, including green-card holders with homes and
families in America, have been barred from entering or
returning to America by the executive order Mr Trump signed
on January 27th.
The order, named “Protecting the nation from foreign terrorist
entry into the United States”, has suspended America’s refugees
programme for four months and barred Syrian refugees
indefinitely. It also denies entry, for at least 90 days, to anyone
from seven mainly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia,
Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
During the campaign, Mr Trump promised as a counter-
terrorism measure a “total and complete shutdown” on all
Muslim entrants to America. That would probably be
unconstitutional. Yet his order goes some way to achieving the
same aim; the targeted countries were responsible for 82% of
Muslim refugees to America last year.
Signing the order in the Pentagon, Mr Trump said his objective
was to keep out “radical Islamic terrorists”. “We don’t want
them here," he said. “We want to ensure that we are not
admitting into our country the very threats our soldiers are
fighting overseas.” But if that is his aim, his order is hogwash.
Yet in the past 40 years, there has been not a single fatal
terrorist attack in America carried out by anyone belonging to
the seven nationalities targeted by the order. Excluding the 9/11
attacks, whose Egyptian, Emirati, Lebanese and Saudi Arabian
executioners would not have been covered by Mr Trump’s ban,

4. America has suffered hardly any terrorism perpetrated by
immigrants. According to a study by Alex Norasteh for the Cato
Institute, the risk of an American being killed in a terrorist
attack by a refugee in a given year is one in 3.6bn.
That reflects the fact that America’s security screening of
refugees, which can take over two years to complete, is
thorough. It also reflects the fact that, given the opportunity of
moving to America, almost every refugee would rather work
hard and get on than blow people up. According to David
Miliband, the head of the International Rescue Committee,
which works with refugees, in the past decade refugees have
started at least 38 new businesses merely in and around
Cleveland, Ohio, creating 175 jobs and a $12m boost to the
local economy. Americans are vastly more likely to find
employment with a Muslim refugee than to be killed by one.
They are in fact much likelier to be killed by cows, fireworks
and malfunctioning elevators than an immigrant terrorist. As a
means of keeping Americans safe, then, Mr Trump’s order is
almost worthless.
Now consider the cost of the action, which Mr Trump, flanked
by his perma-grinning vice-president, Mike Pence, signed on
Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time when many Americans
recall with anguish the hundreds of German Jewish refugees
denied entry to American ports. This goes far beyond
forestalled economic activity. The 110,000 refugees America
was due to accept this year, the majority of whom were women
and children, included huddled survivors from some of the
world’s most wretched conflicts. Compared with the number of
refugees taken by some European countries, this was in fact a
modest quota; Mr Trump’s order has cut it in half. “It is a
repudiation of fundamental American values, an abandonment
of the United States’s role as a humanitarian leader,” writes Mr
Miliband.
The reputational damage done to America by Mr Trump’s action
will be dangerous, as well as large. The attributes that make
America attractive to migrants—its openness, fairness and

5. opportunity—are also among its most effective security
mechanisms. They help explain why America is at once the
most desirable destination for migrants and less prone to
jihadist violence than almost any other country with a large
Muslim population. By singling out Muslims for
discrimination—including a group currently detained at John F.
Kennedy airport in New York who had risked their lives
working with Americans in Iraq—Mr Trump’s order is a
repudiation of these American strengths.
Worsening the damage, he also signalled, in an interview with a
Christian television channel, that the ban would not apply to
Christians. Syrian Christians, claimed Mr Trump, were
“horribly treated” by his predecessor. “If you were a Muslim
you could come in, but if you were a Christian, it was almost
impossible,” he said. “I thought it was very, very unfair. So we
are going to help them.” This is not merely incendiary but
untrue: last year America accepted 37,521 Christian refugees
and 38,901 Muslims.
In a dark hour, it is at least cheering to see many Americans
recoil against Mr Trump’s order. Protesters gathered outside
John F. Kennedy airport, calling for the release of 11 people
detained there. Many business leaders, especially in the tech
industry which relies heavily on immigrant talent, also
condemned the ban. “We need to keep this country safe, but we
should do that by focusing on people who actually pose a
threat,” wrote Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook.
Democratic politicians were united in their condemnation. “As
the Statue of Liberty holds her torch of welcome high, there are
tears in her eyes as she sees how low this administration has
stooped in its callousness towards mothers and children
escaping war-torn Syria," said Representative Nancy Pelosi. But
from Republican politicians, including the many who had
decried Mr Trump’s campaign pledge to ban Muslims, there has
so far been hardly a squeak of disapproval.
Senator Ben Sasse, a Republican from Nebraska, suggested the
ban went too far: “If we send a signal to the Middle East that

6. the US sees all Muslims as jihadis, the terrorist recruiters win.”
But this was a rare exception. Most Republicans have either
stayed silent or welcomed the ban. Paul Ryan, the Republican
Speaker of the House of Representatives, was among its fans:
“We are a compassionate nation, and I support the refugee
resettlement programme, but it’s time to reevaluate and
strengthen the visa vetting process,” he said. This is a bad
moment for America.
Assignment Prompt
During the semester, you will give oral summary presentations
on two articles from The Economist online (economist.com).
Each of these oral assignments will be worth 10 points.
Oral Summaries should be 30 to 60 seconds long and include
the following:
· Title of the article, date of publication
· Main point(s) of the article—and a few specific and powerful
details the writer uses to support the main points
· If time: What you found most interesting and/or why you
chose the article
Prepare these oral presentations in advance. You must get your
point across in a limited number of words, so be prepared to
speak concisely.
Two reasons we do this:
· You get to practice organizing information in a “business
structure” (main point up top, supporting evidence/points
following).
· 30-60 seconds is just enough time to concentrate on and

7. practice one presentation skill (eye contact, fillers, etc.) that
you need to improve.
Article Requirements
You must choose an Economist article published during the
semester you are taking the class. For example, you may not
present an article from May during the Fall semester.
Otherwise, you are not restricted in the type of article you
choose.
