Ramusovic: Anti-Immigrant Sentiment and Donald Trump

ramusovic: They didnt know the language, but they soon found themselves welcomed to the country by a friendly man and his son, who invited the family out for dinner after a chance encounter in the park, according to CTV. It really one of our fondest memories of the first few weeks in Canada, Ramusovic, who is now a lawyer in Vancouver, told CTV News Channel on Thursday. Tamara Ramusovic and her family came to Canada as refugees when she was nine, in 1995, partly because her father Muslim background put them at risk back home. Ramusovic said she concerned that welcoming attitude might be a thing of the past, amid rising anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant sentiment stoked by the Syrian refugee crisis of 2015, and the inflammatory rhetoric of Donald Trump successful U.S. presidential election campaign. She said she bothered that she once had to flee Bosnia because of her father Muslim background, only to see other barriers against Muslims potentially on the way in the West. The attacks on various communities including refugees and immigrants felt very personal in nature, Ramusovic said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
