Executive Order 13769 should not exist

"Legal and political challenges have created obstacles for the administration’s efforts to punish “sanctuary cities,” end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), and proceed with the zero-tolerance policies at the border that have resulted in family separation.' Executive Order 13769 (a.k.a. Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States) has separated families, has taken visa cards away, and reduced the number of refugees that could be let in the U.S.

"On June 26, less than a week after the President’s order, a federal district court judge in San Diego ordered the administration to stop separating families and reunify each family. It gave the administration 14 days to reunite children under age 5 with their parents, and 30 days for those 5 and older. Before the judge’s ruling, it appeared that the administration was only reunifying families if the parents had agreed to be deported. As of June 23, just 522 children had been reunited with their parents." (https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/upholding-travel-ban-supreme-court-endorses-presidential-authority-while-leaving-door-open). Kids under the age of five have been separated from their parents, and the only reason why they reunifying families was because the parents agreed to be deported. Using a parent's child as leverage to deport them is just wrong.

"More than 100 travelers were held. They were held for hours without family or legal assistance. Up to 60,000 visas were taken away. Protests against the order took place in airports and cities.

The order was criticized by Democratic and Republic members of U.S. Congress, Catholic bishops, business leaders and universities." (https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13769). A visa card is a permit given by a country to go to that country. If a person was already permitted to go to the U.S., then why are they taking away visa cards and not allowing that person to enter the U.S.?

"The order said that no more than 50,000 refugees could be be let into the United States. It stopped the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) for 120 days (about four months). After that 120 days, the program would start again for individual countries. The order also stopped the entry of refugees from Syria."

(https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13769). I honestly don't think they should be reducing the refugees that are being let in the U.S. I get that they're trying to protect the U.S. from terrorists but they shouldn't decline refugees that really need help.

In conclusion, there shouldn't be an Executive Order 13769 because its hurting the refugee families. Children should not be separated from their families, and visa cards shouldn't taken away from people who've already had it. I know there are a lot of people who don't agree with President Trump's decision. There's a petition online to impeach him. I think we should do everything in our power to get rid of the order. So that families can come to a safe place.
