But the real issue is that Trump is ruling by creating fear in the minds of people. That fear when generalized lead to the hatred of all Muslims. So far, this country is everyone’s country. You did not have to be Christian or white to belong here. Is there a particular dress code or food or entertainment that defines America? If this was Saudi Arabia, we women would have to cover ourselves head to toe. If we were to live there, we would curse at the heat and the cover and would not like that country. Similarly, getting people to not wear the hijab in France has led to Muslim people feel alienated. And thus, the most number of radicalized Muslims are from France.
I hear a lot of talk of how America needs to “assimilate” the Muslims. Is eating pork, or dressing in shorts American? Is eating beef American? How do you define America? And CAN you define America? You feel American if the general people love you and are friends. So far, America had done an amazing job doing just that, accepting everyone, no matter what our ethnicity is. We listen to Fareed Zakaria or Arianna Huffington, no matter their accents. Trump’s America might fail to do that. By hating Muslims, they will effectively shove Muslims to become radicalized.
And this brings me to my final point—Travel ban. I will even refrain from uttering the word Muslim. Is travel really essential to learn to become a terrorist? We have the internet. I have done many things that I would normally not have; simply by watching you tube videos. A recent New York Times article investigated the so called “lone wolf” attacks and proved that ISIS is behind all those killings. And the hatred for Muslims will only exacerbate the situation. Maybe Trump has no qualms about putting America in danger, because an unsafe America will only increase his power.

There are also rumors that other countries will be added to the ban. Thus American Immigration Lawyer’s Association asked Department of State to clarify.
In response to rumors of plans to expand the travel ban to other countries, DOS informed American Immigration Lawyer’s Association that there is no addendum, annex, or amendment now being worked on to expand visa revocations or the travel ban to countries other than those currently implicated in the Executive Order entitled, “Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States.” This includes Columbia and Venezuela which have been widely rumored to be under consideration and Pakistan. DOS confirmed that there is no information that supports such a rumor and asked that AILA members help end the spread of this false information.
So as of now, only people holding passports of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen are being detained. Green Card (Permanent Resident Card) holders and visa holders from these countries are also being put to secondary inspection which is taking at least 6-7 hours after they come to US from foreign travel. Some officers might be prejudiced and worse than others. The Green card holders might even be asked to give up their green cards. Never do that. Resist and ask for an attorney
So far, if you were born in these countries, but have other passports, then you are not stopped.
No refugees form these seven countries will be allowed in from these seven countries for at least 90 days
However please note that when Trump made the Executive Order the Department of State was not informed about it. They learned it just like all of us.

“Alzheimer’s disease has an impact on every single person in this state,” Duke said.
Members of the Pennsylvania Alzheimer’s Disease Planning Committee and Secretary of Aging Brian Duke launched the development of a Pennsylvania Alzheimer’s Disease State Plan.
In February of this year, Gov. Tom Corbett established the 26-member committee by executive order. The group will design a state plan to address the Alzheimer’s disease crisis in Pennsylvania. With the fourth-largest older adult population in the nation, by 2030, it is anticipated that one in four pennsylvanians will be over the age of 65.

“Alzheimer’s disease has an impact on every single person in this state,” Duke said, who serves as the committee chair. “The incidence of the disease is rising in line with our aging population and it is alarming to consider that one in three older persons with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia dies. A comprehensive state plan of action will provide guidance in dealing with this devastating disease.”
Professor of neurology at the Mayo Clinic and Director of the Mayo Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, Dr. Ronald Peterson was a guest speaker at the meeting. He addressed current treatment and research being offered at the Mayo Clinic, along with his experiences as director of the Mayo ADRC.

Included in the committee are representatives from a number of state agencies as well as those personally impacted by Alzheimer’s disease. It examines needs and research trends, studies existing resources, and develops an effective response strategy to the rising number of those affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
Input will be received at a number of proposed meetings throughout the state.
Recommendations must be delivered to the Governor by Feb. 7, 2013 regarding a planned approach for Pennsylvania.
