policies
regressive policies are those that hurt those who are already disadvantaged. These policies often make things worse for the most vulnerable members of society - such as the poor, the unemployed, the elderly, and Muslims.

Trump's proposed travel ban would prevent Muslims from coming to the United States, and his proposed cuts to food stamps and housing assistance would hurt the most vulnerable members of American society.
