US President Donald Trump refused to apologize for his remarks during a campaign banning all Muslims from entering the United States. Asked whether Trump would apologize for his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States, Trump insists there is nothing to apologize for.
"There is no reason to apologize, we must have strong immigration laws to protect our country," Trump said during a press conference with the President of Nigeria, quoted by Press TV on Sunday (1/5).
Trump's refusal to apologize or withdraw his call forbidding all Muslims entering the US has been brought to justice. Some have questioned the legal legality prohibiting all Muslims from entering the United States.
One that opposes the ban is the State of Hawaii. They argue that forbidding all Muslims from entering the United States is a violation of the Federal Immigration Act. It is also contrary to constitutionalism that prohibits governments from discriminating against religion.
But government lawyers argue, Trump was not president at the time. Banning Muslims from entering the United States is a precautionary measure to prevent terrorists from coming to the United States. Trump signed three versions of a Muslim ban entering the United States last year in an effort to legalize its ban in court.
On Monday (30/1) Trump said, do not believe the apology will change the course of the legal battle. "So I think, if I'm sorry, it will not make a difference to them, no one needs to be apologized," he said.
Trump also said immigration laws in America are a total disaster. The whole world laughs at American immigration laws.
