The sole and only purpose of the Muslim Ban was to separate families like mine.
The separation from my mother has been too much to bear. For a long time, I had to cry myself to sleep. I have had to live without seeing my mother for 4 years. She has missed her oldest son's college graduation, her children's birthdays, and her loving husband. Like many others, she has been barred from entering this country simply because of her Yemeni nationality.
Being separated from my mother and knowing that so many others cannot be reunited with their families has led me to depression, which has not gone away even with time. Knowing that I will not be able to experience the love, support, and guidance of my mother while she is still alive is heartbreaking.
American Muslims are necessary to the fabric of this society. We are contributing to many different establishments and institutions.We are—if you're reading Mr. President—part of what makes this country great. For instance, just our Yemeni American community alone owns more than 4,000-5,000 thousand bodegas in NYC, representing 50 percent of small bodegas across the city. These bodega owners contribute to this country not only economically, but socially as well.
