Post 4: Travel Ban

There has been a lot of coverage of President Trump's executive order which tried to put in a travel ban on immigrants from 7 Muslim majority countries.  Last week the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Trump administration and has issued a stay on his order.  There is a lot of discussion of what this means for Trump's agenda and whether he will reissue the order with narrower wording to get around the courts.

Please pick one of the following prompts to answer:
-Assess the success of Trump's immigration policy so far.

-Write up your defense or attack of Trump's executive order.  Use language that would be persuasive to the main stream media.   

Use at least 3 sources in your post AND read the executive order itself.

Due Monday, February 20th.
