For Immediate Release: WVDP Chair Biafore’s Statement On Trump’s “Muslim Ban”
“The actions that Trump has taken in the past 48 hours are not only illegal, they are un-American. Not only do his actions not represent our values as Americans; they undermine our own Constitution. People are scared and they are entering crisis mode. Our very own universities in West Virginia have warned their international students to stay put and not travel outside of the country to visit home out of fear that they will not be able to return. These people and their families do not deserve this and to think that this fear is being put in them by the president of our United States is sickening. This is religious persecution. This is not what our country was built upon or what we stand for today. As more unfolds we’re seeing more stories of mothers being separated from their children and husbands and wives in fear that the other will not come home.”
