Senator Charles Schumer
Senator Charles Schumer was tearful on Sunday, during his condemnation of the President Donald Trump's temporary ban on migration from seven Muslim states and stranded migrants at various airports in the United States.
"Why tears," many observers have asked. "Have people been killed or mortally wounded?" Has there been a terrorist attack and loss of lives?" Additional questions followed as protests and demonstrations continued at various airports in the country.
As questions are asked and clarifications emerge from the government, it becomes clearer that government is determined and has resolved that there is no scaling back on what the government has described as a temporary ban to be reviewed after expiration.
Protesters describe government action as targeted against Muslims, government says that the ban is not targeted against Muslims, but to keep the country safe from terrorists. Protesters say that the ban is unconstitutional and government says there is nothing unconstitutional in working to keep the country safe and that the country has every right to decide who to admit and deny entry.
The government apologists say that government is fulfilling part of campaign promises, protesters say they are not going away, while they have turned this time into America's protests season. Some people are saying that had there been protests like this times that terrorists had attacked and killed people in the land, perhaps terrorists would have rethink and leave the country alone and stop killing Americans. In the same vein, they say may be if Schumer has been crying like over terrorists attacks and killing of Americans by terrorists, as he has been seen crying on Sunday, perhaps terrorists would have left Americans alone.
It was confirmed on Sunday that 109 migrants were with the Immigration at various airports disallowed entry. And by Monday morning, only one person is said to be with the Immigration, all others released to go and two deported.
