FARHANA KHERA: At the core of who we are as Americans is that we don't treat each other differently based on how we look or how we pray, and those values are at the core of our Constitution and our Bill of Rights. And there have now been two courts who have issued nationwide halts to the second executive order.

BEN FERGUSON: The reality is more than 1 billion Muslims around the world still have the ability and access to come to the United States of America. So to imply that this is somehow a ban based on religion is not reality. If it was, then you wouldn't have over 1 billion [Muslim] people that are able to come to the country.
