There is a huge difference in culture and behaviors that has contributed to the certain viewing of outsiders that has been around in the US since at least the 1920's and is still around today. Back then, the huge issue was alcohol because many immigrants saw alcohol as an intimate part of social life and they tended to oppose prohibition which struck up some conflict with many natural-born Americans. Nowadays, there is a big issue surrounding religion because Muslims practice Islam which has different observances, like different prayers and the wearing of hijabs, than some of the other common religions in the US, like Christianity, and so they find it foreign and tend to be unwelcoming of the difference in lifestyles.

Although they have different names and details, there have been actual passages of law in the government to limit immigration both a century ago and within the last decade. During the 1920's, the Quota Laws were passed in the Immigration Act of 1924. In 2017, the president at the time issued Executive Order 13780: Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry, a.k.a. the "Muslim ban".

Both in the past and in the present there has been a lot of fear surrounding immigrants. In the Roaring Twenties, this fear was based around communism as suspicion of immigrants being communists increased. In modern times, this fear of immigrants, specifically Muslims, has to do with terrorism as there have been terrorist attacks done by certain radical groups from the same nations as innocent Muslims. These examples can both be proven unnecessary, since correlation does not mean causation, and are more likely disguised racism and xenophobia.

'Psychological trauma and stress': The lasting impact of the 'Muslim ban' is an article based around real events having to do with immigration policy, which was also a very relevant matter a hundred years ago in the 1920's.

I am not Muslim nor am I from a nation where immigration into the US has been banned, so I can’t explain what it’s like or how it feels but it will always be so sad to me that these people, who usually only have kindness and good intention in their hearts, aren’t able to work towards improving their lives and reaching for better opportunities. Many of these people who want to come to the US are from places torn apart by war, like Yemen and Syria, and have dealt with so much horror and just want to get away from it all to provide themselves and their families with safer lives but are rejected and not even given a chance to prove themselves worthy of being there. Also, generally many immigrants are looking for a place to go to school to get a better education for a specific career that they want to go into or work and a good salary that can give them a nice place to live and a comfortable lifestyle but they don’t even get the chance to try because they work so hard and give everything up and then are told they are not able to come into the US. I find it so dehumanizing and horrible that these poor people don’t get to do something that all good humans deserve the right to do all because of the color of their skin and/or the religion they practice. One would think that “the land of the free” would actually be free and would allow people to be and do what they want, as long as it isn’t harming anyone else, but nope.

In 2018, there was an executive order by former president Trump that stopped immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries from coming into the United States. More non-muslim nations were later added to this list. The name that many gave it was the “Muslim Ban”. While it is said to have been created over national security concerns of terrorism, that idea can easily be refuted by statistics. This ban made it difficult for many families because they were not allowed in the United States but there was war tearing through their home countries so they did not want to go back there either, which left them with very few places to go. All this did was create stress, anxiety, and lots of trauma, as well as it made it harder for families to find a safe place to live and work. It also deprived many of their human rights, like education. All of this happened over the discriminaition of something that people had no control over (their skin color, nationality, ethnicity, culture). Many want this ban to be repealed as well as others that discriminate against Muslims in other ways, but this still won’t be enough because of the overall trauma that Muslims have experienced.
