'The Current Integration of the World Is of the Utmost Importance'

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?

Jaya, 23, Reigate: Because I believe that the current integration of the world is of the utmost importance, that people get along with each other and his policies are basically taking a huge step backwards. They're completely exclusive, racist, and I think it's really important that we all stand up [against] it.

Will the restrictions impact your family members in any way?

No, the restrictions won't affect my family members directly, but my father is an immigrant so in that sense, yeah. Indirectly, yeah.

"If I could say one thing to Trump about the immigration restrictions, I would say…?"

You're wrong.
