'My Family and I Shouldn't Feel Like We're Threatened Here'

This interview is part of Broadly's Voices Against the Ban series. You can read more of these voices here.

Broadly: Why do you oppose Trump's immigration restrictions?

Sarah, 17, New Jersey: I am against Donald Trump's immigration ban because my family and I shouldn't feel like we're threatened here. My grandparents should be able to come and visit; my uncles, my cousins, my sisters and brothers should be able to visit here—the land of the free.

Why is your family specifically under that threat?

My mom is a hijabi, meaning she wears the hijab. We are all Muslims and it just really does perpetuate fear against Muslims. The fact that we feel afraid to just walk out and we don't want to wear the hijab and represent what we want to, it sucks because Donald Trump wants to hate Muslims.

Anything to add?

Donald Trump is a little dick Umpalumpa, but I am happy that people are here.
