Ethics of Immigration

Removal of DACA
People under the DACA program have been living in the US for 10 or more years and have integrated into the culture. They've grown up there, attended school, made friends and work there. These people are completely embedded into society.
Now, Trump is ordering to end the DACA program citing that the people under its protection aren't legal citizens/residents of the US. They now potentially face the risk of losing their jobs or degrees and face deportation.
Protects young adults who entered into the country illegally as children when their families came to settle and hence cannot now become legal citizens.
Allows them to continue living, studying and working in the US.

Trump's Travel Ban
Claims
After backlash to the original ban, now most voters support the amended version of the ban
At first, the national opinion about the ban was largely negative;there was minimum public support. However, once the ban was modified, people felt it was more well-thought out and reasonable. This shows that the measure is not as controversial as it once was for the most past and doesn't upset the majority of people.

Trump has not banned countries with the highest number of Muslim people, only nations that have a reputation for being a central hub for terrorist operation.
Hence, this ban is not intended to target a particular religion. Its primary aim is to restrict entrance from terrorist headquarters for safety reasons

Counter-Claims
Charlottesville Riots
The racist and violent behaviour is seen as acceptable because in the eyes of the people they see it as an execution of the vision of their President and given his public opinions on issues of minority races and immigrants the Supremists feel their actions are justified.
Hate Crimes
Since Trump was elected in November, there has been reportedly around a 20% increase in the occurrences of hate crimes in the US. Many of these are racially or religiously biased towards the minorities. Now, while there isn't hard evidence that this is connected to the ban it can be tracked back to the Presidential negative opinions expressed towards immigrants, minority races and religions, and some of the ideas he proposed during his campaign to counteract those "issues". Thus, supporters are reinforced by their leader that those people don't belong in their country. The ban only adds fuel to this fire.
