Dear Mr. President,
On January 8th 2019, you spoke to millions of Americans, supposedly addressing the ever prolonged issue of the government shutdown. Your speech, that will go down in our history, turned into something fueled by fear and coated with lies. Myself, along with the rest of the nation, listened with either complete disgust or ignorant agreement.
“My fellow Americans. Tonight, I am speaking to you because there is a growing humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border.”
Straight to the point, but not the right one. You started talking about Mexico right off the bat, not about the major crisis that the government shut down created. A shutdown that is affecting hundreds of Americans, the people you supposedly serve, because Congress refuses to give you your wall.
The people being forced to work without pay during this shutdown, that you claim is a ‘state of national emergency’, are keeping out those who are trying to come into our country for a better life. Getting a green card isn’t that simple. It takes years, extensive background checks, and time. Time most people trying to migrate into our country don’t have. When you’re being forced into a war with guns pressed against your head, and you flee to a country that has promised freedom only to get stopped by border patrol, then we’ll talk about ‘lawful immigrants.’
According to your own words, there is still a wild misconception of immigrants ‘stealing our jobs’ and being nothing but drug addicted rapists. It’s an obvious lie or ‘fake news’, as you would put it. It has been proven over and over again that the only jobs immigrants are ‘taking’ are the jobs nobody wants. These ‘low class’ working jobs contribute to our society. The ‘drug addict rapists’ are moral less humans, of many different backgrounds, trying to make a profit from addiction.
Instead of painting immigrants as you see fit, you should be doing more to make sure another mass shooting doesn’t happen under your years of ‘service’. Or another large scandal of a person in power abusing it.
As you talk more and more about border control, you continue to divide our country by blaming the Democrats for being the ones who aren’t agreeing to this ludicrous wall. You say that because of the Democrats not supporting the wall, hundreds of people will continue to work without pay. Both parties are at fault, there is no denying that. Instead of trying to reopen the government and find a compromise after, you want your way or the highway.
Funding for a wall isn’t what our nation needs or wants, it completely defeats the purpose of being the land of the free. Immigration laws aren’t what we should be focusing on. Drugs will always be a problem, people seeking freedom will always come here; that’s not what we should be focusing on. There are many problems in our own nation that we have asked you to address, but you continue to ignore the voice of the American people to suit your accusations.
