Broadly: Why do you oppose trump's immigration bans?

Ali, 35, Ontario: I think it destabilizes the world, and I think, as a Muslim man or a man who was raised Muslim, that it's inherently racist.

Does this affect you or your family?

Myself and my family members we're all dual citizens: Canadian and American. We're half Pakistani so we're not directly threatened by this, but as a culture absolutely this affects us directly.
