The Muslim Ban

You are not getting all the facts

The Muslim Ban

As I have scrolled through everything social media, I have noticed one thing; Donald Trumps Muslim Ban. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this so I had to do a little bit of research because as I have learned from the past, social media does not always give the facts or only gives one side of the story.

As I did my digging I saw many things, mostly people complaining about the fact that Donald Trump is not allowing Muslims into the country. This is entirely unconstitutional and would never be allowed because of course the first Amendment gives us our freedom of religion speech etc. The media has completely blown all of this out of proportion and is not giving the facts at all.

Donald Trump has not banned muslims from coming into America he has stopped immigration coming in from terroristic countries that just happen to be Muslim. He is blocking immigration from where ISIS the number one terroristic threat comes from.

If you're getting your information from twitter you're probably annoyed and can't believe that he would ban a specific religion but I'm here to tell you he's not banning a religion but he is banning terrorists coming into our country.

Now, I have absolutely no problem at all with immigrants coming into our country because of course we were founded on immigration. However, if you're going to do it illegally, you do not have my support at all and I'm sure you don't have most of Americas support.

We currently have extremely strict immigration laws but apparently not strict enough with all these recent terrorist attacks so this law will essentially make it even harder for people to enter this country no matter your religion or race and will completely eliminate the entrance from the following countries: Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Lybia, Somalia and Yemen.

Also, for anyone who thinks this is unconstitutional, no where in the constitution does it say that we have to allow immigrants to come into our country. All of these countries have shown a high rate of muslims yes, however, all terroristic attacks have come from every single one of these countries.

Our own military is over in these countries fighting for our lives. Why? Because of terrorists. So please go to other outside sources and get your information correct before you decide to bash Donald Trump just because you don't like his pu*** grabbing refrences.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
