When someone thinks of an American Muslim in 2019, they usually wouldn’t think of a Pakistan-born, Republican activist pushing for deeply needed immigration reform. However, drawing from my background in the tech industry, as well as my experience as a former immigrant, I’m confident that President Trump’s new immigration proposal is exactly what’s needed.
I’ve been deeply skeptical of some of the administration’s prior immigration proposals. I was even met with an undue set of suspicions upon returning to the United States from Canada during the height of the “Muslim Ban,” the result of a likely misunderstanding for which I later received an apology. I’ve been particularly cautious when it comes to how plans are implemented and their effects on certain communities.
