Baldwin students were divided Monday on President Trump’s immigration order.

On Friday, Trump signed an order blocking entry of citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries for 90 days, stopping all refugee entry for 120 days, and banning Syrian refugees indefinitely.

Junior Scott Borman said he supports the ban because he believes the safety of America needs to be a priority.

“It’s good because it ensures the safety of American people first,” Borman said.

Junior Macin Watson agreed.

“I also believe that it’s too dangerous not knowing who could be coming from those countries,” Watson said.

Other students, however, spoke out against Trump’s order.

Freshman Bethany Yauch said she was against Trump’s immigration ban because other than the few extremists, immigrants are good people.

“I believe that there are helpless families that deserve to have a good life,” Yauch said.

Junior Anjana Bhandari, a refugee from Nepal, said that as long as people are immigrating legally, they should be allowed in the country. She said there is nothing in the Constitution that prohibits legal immigration and therefore no one has the right to ban it.

Senior Deewan Rimal, who is also a Nepali refugee, had a similar opinion on the topic.

“I don’t think [Trump] should ban anyone,” Rimal said.

Senior Adia Achtzehn said she was strongly opposed, calling the immigration order “insane.” The United States was built on immigration, she said. She called the order “racist,” and predicted it would only make things worse.

Senior Georgina Burk echoed that opinion.

“It’s not right to judge an entire race,” Burk said.

Others agreed.

Junior Tijana Mrkalj said the ban made no sense because “the countries he banned have nothing to do with the (9/11) terrorist attacks.”

Senior Fadila Yumouh, a refugee from Cameroon, said she worried about the affect it would have on families.

“He’s separating families and it’s just not good. He’s causing more problems,” Yumouh said.

Junior Nabaa Atshan, who is Muslim, also opposes the ban.

“I don’t like it,” she said, “I think It’s wrong. He’s describing all the Muslims as one thing. There are good Americans and bad ones but he’s generalizing everyone in that religion.”

Other students said they could see two sides to the issue.

“You can’t really do that to people,” junior Olivia Capasso said of the ban.

Capasso said she doesn’t think the order is fair, but she also believes that people should rely on their own countries more.

Freshman Noah Fischer said he has not put too much thought into Trump’s immigration ban.

“Whatever he does might help us. I don’t really think about it,” Fischer said.

Freshman Julia Komoroski said that if the ban were lifted, there would be more trouble dealing with terrorism. But she said that in keeping the ban, America is hurting innocent people by not letting them in.

Freshman Caden Harsh, meanwhile, acknowledged that he didn’t have an opinion on the issue.

“I didn’t think about it much,” he said.  “Politics aren’t really my thing.”
