President
Donald
Trump
recently announced his plan to
enact a wide-ranging ban on
refugees entering the United
States, according to a draft of his
executive orderobtained by The
New York Times.
The order, which Trump is
expected to sign soon, would
place a ban on all refugees for at
least 120 days, with an indefinite
ban
on
those
from
Syria.
Additionally, the executive order
instills a complete 30-day freeze
on all immigration –– regardless
of refugee status –– from the
predominantly Muslim countries
of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia,
Sudan, Syria and Yemen. After
the 120 days are up, an extension
of the order notwithstanding,
the
refugee
program
would
shrink the number of refugees
allowed into the United States
from 110,000 refugees per year to
50,000.
In response to news of the
expected ban, the Michigan
Refugee Assistance Program, a
University of Michigan student
organization created this year,
issued a Facebook postopposing
the order. The post, which stated
that the order “risks repeating
mistakes of the past when the
United States tragically turned
away Jewish refugees in World
War II,” included a link to a
document providing information
on how to contact lawmakers and
newspapers in order to oppose
the ban.
College Republicans president
Enrique Zalamea, an LSA junior,
hailed the speed of Trump’s
executive orders.
“Its so rare to see such action
happening so quickly, and I’m
really glad to see real changes
occurring,” he said. “ I know
right now the vetting process is
already pretty strict, but just to
create those additional firewalls
is always welcome when you’re
talking
about
our
national
security.”
Rackham
student
Andrea
Gillespie,
an
education
and
advocacy co-chair for MRAP,
warned against the politicization
of the refugee crisis.
“We don’t see this as a partisan
issue,” she said. “What we see is
a dangerous political climate and
an issue of human dignity. And
I think now more than ever in
this current climate we have to
remain active and vigilant, and
make sure that we’re having our
voices heard and that refugees’
voices are heard.”
Although most of its work has
revolved around assisting already-
resettled refugees, Gillespie said
in light of the expected refugee
ban, MRAP would be taking
a more advocacy-based role,
trying to keep the resettlement
process alive.
“We feel like now more
than ever is when we need
to be advocates in a social
space
for
refugees,
and
that
includes
contacting
every single representative
that we can, calling the
White
House,
talking
to
the State Department, who
runs
refugee
resettlement
programs,” Gillespie said. “I
think that we were walking
a tight line before and I think
now that line is essentially
blurred with the comments
coming out, the potential ban
on Muslim refugees, especially
considering
the
fact
that
Michigan itself has such a
strong attachment to refugee
resettlement and all of the
benefits that come from it.”
In November 2015, following
the Paris terrorist attacks in
which 129 were killed.

The University of Michigan
isn’t the only one celebrating a
milestone birthday this year:
The state of Michigan also
marked the 180th anniversary
of its admission to the United
States on Thursday.
According to a historical
marker outside the present-
day courthouse on East Huron
Street, Ann Arbor played an
important role in Michigan’s
statehood when a convention in
1836 at the Washtenaw County
courthouse met to discuss a
proposal from Congress to
resolve a dispute between
Michigan and Ohio about
border territory.
“Both (Michigan and Ohio)
claimed a narrow strip of land,
including the present city of
Toledo,” the marker states.
“Congress proposed giving
the greater part of the Upper
Peninsula to Michigan, while
awarding the ‘Toledo Strip’ to
Ohio.”
Once the dispute was
resolved and supported at
the convention, it cleared the
way for the Congressional
bill and then-President
Andrew Jackson’s signing of
the bill making the roughly
200,000-person territory the
26th state in the Union.
After this landmark
decision, Ann Arbor further
cemented its location as
one of importance when the
University also moved from
Detroit in 1837. The first
students enrolled in 1841 and
the University started that year
with a total of seven students.
After 180 years of
statehood, Michigan now has a
population of 9.9 million people
and the University has grown
to encompass about 51,000
students between its Ann
Arbor, Dearborn and Flint
campuses, a vast growth since
its humble beginnings in 1837.
