For Home Discussion:
Discuss with a parent: Some opposed to the temporary halt on travelers from these countries say that there have been no terror attacks on American soil from individuals from those countries. Others say that the President is targeting Muslims; however, there are 50 Muslim majority countries in the world and the president explained the countries listed do not have stable / reliable governments from whom to obtain accurate information on their citizens. What do you think? Do you agree with the 9th Circuit court or with President Trump? Discuss your answers.
