From an American perspective who is not surprised by the American results, my thought is that dressing a certain way does not mean you are going to act a certain way; actions define us more than our clothing. Likewise, wearing a burqa won’t mean that you are a terrorist or are affiliated with them.
As attitudes change towards immigration both in the United States and abroad, I wonder how this ban will affect the country’s security. Will immigration-related crimes go down? Will this bill inspire more anti-Muslim sentiments?
