\"\"<\/a>Ohio Immigrant Alliance reacts to the Muslim, African, Caribbean, and Asian Ban<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The entry into the United States of nationals of Haiti as immigrants and nonimmigrants is hereby fully suspended.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThose ugly words, with \u2018Haiti\u2019 replaced by \u2018Republic of the Congo,\u2019 \u2018Sudan,\u2019 \u2018Somalia,\u2019 \u2018Yemen,\u2019 and seven other nations (Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Iran, Libya) are knives in the hearts of Ohioans hoping to reunite with their loved ones. Those born in Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela are equally devastated, their hopes similarly dashed, by a \u2018partial\u2019 ban that is just as extensive,\u201d said Lynn Tramonte, Executive Director of the Ohio Immigrant Alliance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is racism by presidential decree,\u201d she continued. \u201cThe new Muslim and African ban is here, with a Caribbean and Asian annex. It comes on the heels of:
\n\u2022 The Trump administration attacking international students\u2018 and green card holders\u2018 rights to free speech;
\n\u2022 The administration attacking international students\u2019 rights to even attend college in the United States;
\n\u2022 The Ohio legislature seeking to prohibit people born in certain countries from owning property in parts of Ohio \u2014 building on an already xenophobic measure that was slipped into law last year. People born in China, Korea, Cuba, Russia, Venezuela, and possibly Syria could be affected; and
\n\u2022 A massive increase in ICE detention in Ohio, which paves the way for state and local police to help the Trump administration carry out mass deportation, separating parents from children and devastating Ohio families.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow many times do people from Haiti, the Congo, and Afghanistan have to save their own lives in order to find a safe place to call home? How many countries do they have to turn to, before one lets them stop moving and settle in? These are some of the strongest, bravest, and smartest people I have ever known. They want to live in Ohio and are doing great things here. Ohio needs them. We would benefit from embracing them and their family members, and helping them put down permanent roots, not making them feel scared and telling them to leave.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe latest policy out of Washington is ugly and evil. The Trump administration doesn\u2019t speak for me. They don\u2019t speak for many of us in Ohio who are glad that they have found safety here, and want us to be an open society where people feel safe and welcome,\u201d Tramonte continued. \u201cWe can and must be better than this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Said Demba Ndiath, Ohio Immigrant Alliance\u2019s Advocacy Director, \u201cThis ban is planting discord and fear instead of unity and compassion. It divides families, brings economic challenges in many American households, and creates more borders and divisions. The Muslim faith is one of peace, compassion, and submission to the will of Allah. In all cases, Insha Allah, we will be okay \u2014 we trust in God\u2019s plan.\u201d \u201cInsha Allah\u201d means \u201cIf God wills.\u2019 This, for Muslims, means embracing humility, patience, gratitude, and HOPE. Insha Allah reminds us to remain hopeful, even in difficulties. Insha Allah brings us together as a community, united by our belief in something greater than ourselves, in the belief that we are all humans, we are all brothers and sisters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ohio SIGUE siendo tu hogar\u2026 a pesar de los ataques desde Washington, D.C.<\/strong>
\nLa Alianza de Inmigrantes de Ohio reacciona ante la prohibici\u00f3n de entrada a musulmanes, africanos, caribe\u00f1os y asi\u00e1ticos<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

\u201cSe suspende por completo la entrada a Estados Unidos de nacionales de Hait\u00ed, tanto inmigrantes como los que no son inmigrantes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEsas palabras desagradables, con \u2018Hait\u00ed\u2019 reemplazado por \u2018Rep\u00fablica del Congo\u2019, \u2018Sud\u00e1n\u2019, \u2018Somalia\u2019, \u2018Yemen\u2019 y otras siete naciones (Afganist\u00e1n, Birmania, Chad, Guinea Ecuatorial, Eritrea, Ir\u00e1n y Libia), son como pu\u00f1ales en el coraz\u00f3n de los habitantes de Ohio que esperan reunirse con sus seres queridos. Los nacidos en Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leona, Togo, Turkmenist\u00e1n y Venezuela est\u00e1n igualmente devastados, con sus esperanzas igualmente frustradas, por una prohibici\u00f3n \u2018parcial\u2019 igualmente extensa,\u201d declar\u00f3 Lynn Tramonte, directora ejecutiva de la Alianza de Inmigrantes de Ohio.<\/p>\n

\u201cEsto es racismo por decreto presidencial,\u201d continu\u00f3. La nueva prohibici\u00f3n para musulmanes y africanos ya est\u00e1 aqu\u00ed, con un anexo caribe\u00f1o y asi\u00e1tico. Viene tras:
\n\u2022 El ataque de la administraci\u00f3n Trump a la libertad de expresi\u00f3n de los estudiantes internacionales y los titulares de tarjetas de residencia;
\n\u2022 El ataque de la administraci\u00f3n Trump al derecho de los estudiantes internacionales incluso a asistir a la universidad en Estados Unidos;
\n\u2022 La legislatura de Ohio busca prohibir que las personas nacidas en ciertos pa\u00edses posean propiedades en partes de Ohio, bas\u00e1ndose en una medida ya xen\u00f3foba que se convirti\u00f3 en ley el a\u00f1o pasado. Las personas nacidas en China, Corea, Cuba, Rusia, Venezuela y posiblemente Siria podr\u00edan verse afectadas; y
\n\u2022 Un aumento masivo de las detenciones del ICE en Ohio, lo que marca el camino para que la polic\u00eda estatal y local ayude a la administraci\u00f3n Trump a llevar a cabo deportaciones masivas, separando a padres de sus hijos y devastando a las familias de Ohio.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u00bfCu\u00e1ntas veces tienen que salvar la vida las personas de Hait\u00ed, el Congo y Afganist\u00e1n para encontrar un lugar seguro al que llamar hogar? \u00bfA cu\u00e1ntos pa\u00edses tienen que recurrir antes de que uno les permita dejar de moverse y establecerse? Estas son algunas de las personas m\u00e1s fuertes, valientes e inteligentes que he conocido. Quieren vivir en Ohio y est\u00e1n haciendo grandes cosas aqu\u00ed. Ohio los necesita. Nos beneficiar\u00eda tener a ellos y a sus familias, y ayudarlos a echar ra\u00edces permanentes, en lugar de asustarlos y decirles que se vayan.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa \u00faltima pol\u00edtica de Washington es horrible y perversa. La administraci\u00f3n Trump no habla por m\u00ed. No habla por muchos de nosotros en Ohio, que nos alegramos de haber encontrado seguridad aqu\u00ed y queremos que seamos una sociedad abierta donde la gente se sienta segura y bienvenida,\u201d continu\u00f3 Tramonte. \u201cPodemos y debemos ser mejores que esto.\u201d<\/p>\n

Demba Ndiath, directora de defensa de la Alianza de Inmigrantes de Ohio, afirm\u00f3: \u201cEsta prohibici\u00f3n siembra discordia y miedo en lugar de unidad y compasi\u00f3n. Divide a las familias, genera dificultades econ\u00f3micas en muchos hogares estadounidenses y crea m\u00e1s fronteras y divisiones. La fe musulmana se basa en la paz, la compasi\u00f3n y la sumisi\u00f3n a la voluntad de Al\u00e1. En todo caso, si Dios quiere, estaremos bien; confiamos en el plan de Dios.\u201d \u201cInsha Allah\u201d significa \u201cSi Dios quiere.\u201d \u201cEsto, para los musulmanes, significa abrazar la humildad, la paciencia, la gratitud y la ESPERANZA. Si Dios quiere, Insha Allah nos recuerda que debemos mantener la esperanza, incluso en las dificultades. Si Dios quiere, nos une como comunidad, unidos por nuestra creencia en algo superior a nosotros mismos, en la creencia de que todos somos humanos, todos somos hermanos y hermanas.\u201d<\/p>\n
