    You realize that this doesn’t affect citizens, which Muslim Americans are and most Arab Americans are either Christian or not very religious. Otherwise the same kind of abuse will continue as under Biden and since 9/11/2001 and no one will notice or care.

    Plus what Trump is suggesting is more harmful to the US than to Arab or Muslim Americans, the US missing out on “Hamas sympathizing students” i.e. most of the world, means that US universities are missing out on revenue. US universities are already struggling because of the decline in number of foreign students.

      Can you explain what you mean by your first statement? It seems like you’re arguing that citizens won’t be affected, then you linked a post by an Arab American citizen who is saying how general sentiment towards Arab Americans has affected their life. It stands to reason that electing trump will only further deteriorate the general sentiment towards Arab Americans, affecting us citizens.

      Thank goodness Trump made things easier for Arab Americans whe he was president! What, it was the same thing when he was president? Shocking!

          Exactly. The presidential election isn’t where problems like that will be solved. You’re looking at the wrong venue to air your legitimate grievances, at the risk of personal harm to yourself and people like you. You should absolutely try to address that, but it will not be easy and it won’t start at the presidency.
