"Right now, the way the order was written, if you came from any of these six countries in the Middle East, even if you were a baby, or if you were a grandmother, then you would still be labeled a terrorist. And you have to convince the U.S. government otherwise that you are not. That's a form of discrimination. I think all of us care about our national security, we all wanna live in a place that is safe. But our constitution requires us not to punish or disfavor one religion or one group of people or one nationality over another."

"So there is a Muslim group and what's happened is that many of them are now afraid to travel or leave the U.S. because they don't know if they can come back. And also they are unable to have their relatives come and visit them. Tourism is the number one leading economic driver that we have in Hawaii. Everybody wants to come to Hawaii from all over the world. And so that's how we are able to survive as a state. This travel ban impacts us economically because it causes people to be more worried about coming to the U.S."

"What I think about is that if I remain silent about something when it happens to the Muslim. I am not Muslim. I am not from the Middle East. But if I don't say anything when it happens to another group, then no one will ever speak up for me. It's just the right thing to do is that we need to speak up for each other."

National security should not be built upon discrimination against any group of people, said Hawaii Attorney General, Doug Chin, in an exclusive interview with China Central Television (CCTV) on Thursday.

Chin held that national security can be guaranteed and the justice of law maintained. His sue against the Trump administration's revised travel ban incurred some criticism in the wake of the deadly terrorist attack outside Britain's Houses of Parliament in London on Wednesday.

"Right now, the way the order was written, if you came from any of these six countries in the Middle East, even if you were a baby, or if you were a grandmother, then you would still be labeled a terrorist. And you have to convince the U.S. government otherwise that you are not. That's a form of discrimination. I think all of us care about our national security, we all wanna live in a place that is safe. But our constitution requires us not to punish or disfavor one religion or one group of people or one nationality over another," said Chin.

Chin added that his objection is not only about the constitutional regulations, but also about the economic reality in Hawaii.

"So there is a Muslim group and what's happened is that many of them are now afraid to travel or leave the U.S. because they don't know if they can come back. And also they are unable to have their relatives come and visit them. Tourism is the number one leading economic driver that we have in Hawaii. Everybody wants to come to Hawaii from all over the world. And so that's how we are able to survive as a state. This travel ban impacts us economically because it causes people to be more worried about coming to the U.S.," explained Chin.

Chin believes he should stand up for other ethnic groups. He recalled what happened to his own parents in the 1950s when the Chinese Exclusion Act had not been fully abolished.

"What I think about is that if I remain silent about something when it happens to the Muslim. I am not Muslim. I am not from the Middle East. But if I don't say anything when it happens to another group, then no one will ever speak up for me. It's just the right thing to do is that we need to speak up for each other," said Chin.

Attorneys from the state of Hawaii filed a lawsuit two weeks ago to halt President Trump's revised executive order that places U.S. entry restrictions on refugees and travelers from six Muslim-majority countries. Hawaii has become the first U.S. state to sue in order to stop the revised travel ban.
