Editor’s Note: This story has updated to reflect the U.S. Supreme Court’s ongoing deliberation over whether lower court judges have the legal right to block President Trump’s executive orders from going into effect. One of the central pillars of what it means to be American is under attack. With a stroke of his pen, President Donald Trump in January issued an executive order that challenges the entitlement to citizenship of all those born within our nation’s borders, without favor or prejudice.

It was when I attended a sneak preview of Disney’s adaptation of the Chinese legend of Mulan, about a young woman who disguises herself as a man and takes up her wounded father’s sword to defend her nation. I enjoyed the movie, with its combination of swashbuckling, slapstick and show tunes.

One of the central pillars of what it means to be American is under attack. With a stroke of his pen, President Donald Trump issued an executive order that challenges the entitlement to citizenship of all those born within our nation’s borders, without favor or prejudice. In doing so, he has spit in the face of generations of settled precedent, shattered our standing as a land of refuge and inclusion and, in no uncertain terms, laid out an “not welcome” mat.
