Protecting DREAMers Is Important And Easily Achievable

Protecting DREAMers is crucial. These people were brought to this country by their parents and had no choice in the matter and they should not be punished for that. Technically they are here illegally but the vast majority of DREAMers work, pay taxes and contribute to American society just like any other American. And that is what they are. American. The United States of America is the home of the immigrant. Unless you are 100% Native American you have an immigrant, whether you like it or not. That’s fact.

Solving the issue, as far as I’m concerned, is simple. Under DACA they weren’t able to follow the green card route which would see them become permanent residents of the United States. DACA basically just protected them from immediate deportation. It wasn’t a permanent solution and Trump’s removal of DACA has now paved the way for a permanent solution to happen.

That permanent issue should involve DREAMers applying for residency and being able to live here permanently and legally with a green card. After five years a path to citizenship should be allowed, as is standard right now. What a lot of Trump voters seem to think is that residency and citizenship would all be paid for but that wouldn’t and shouldn’t be the case. As I said, the vast majority of DREAMers all pay their own way in America and would be able to afford the fees to become a permeant resident and a citizen. This is by far the most sensible route to go down and pretty simple when you think about it, considering all of the infrastructure for residency and citizenship is already in place. They would just need to have something in place which states that they, as DREAMers, are now allowed to go down that route.

Bill Clinton Impeached Over Less Than What Trump Is Accused Of

The impeachment of President Bill Clinton by the House in December 1998 was based on a sexual relationship that he had had with Monica Lewinsky, a relationship he then went on to lie about by denying its existence. It’s no secret that Republicans despised Clinton, and his impeachment, based on a relationship that meant nothing to what was actually happening to America as a country, was a last ditch effort to bring down his presidency. Republicans will of course deny it. But their hatred for Bill Clinton has since extended further onto his wife, Secretary Hillary Clinton. You just have to look at last years presidential election and the hateful campaign against her to come to that conclusion. It’s not difficult to see.

But let’s be clear here, we are now 8 months into a Trump presidency that has continued to be rocked by scandal, predominantly the accusations of collusion with the Russian government. Just today, Donald Trump Jr. admitted that his meeting with Russians in the summer of 2016 was not about Russian adoptions as he previously stated, but about acquiring “dirt” on Hillary Clinton directly from the Russian government. This is the exact definition of collusion.

“Secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, especially in order to cheat or deceive others.”

This brings me to my main point: what Trump is being accused of, what his campaign is being accused of, is far more serious than what Bill Clinton was impeached for by the House. Collusion with Russia, lying about it, and obstructing justice by firing the person who is leading the investigation against you, is far more serious than lying about a sexual relationship. What Trump is being accused of is dangerous and calls into question the legitimacy of his win in the election. If his campaign colluded with Russia to acquire information on Hillary Clinton that would damage her campaign, this is an extremely serious situation.

What makes it so much worse is that Trump has done everything in his power to try and bury the investigation against him, going as far as firing FBI Directer James Comes, the man originally leading the investigation. Trump of course denied that the investigation wasn’t the reason he was fired but new evidence in the form of a letter written by Trump and one his of advisers, a letter scrapped due to the White House feeling it would complicate matters, that throws doubt onto Trump’s claim of a witch hunt.

A witch hunt is ironic given the situation. If you want to see what a real witch hunt looks like you only need to look at the blatant efforts to derail Bill Clinton’s presidency in the 1990’s. Their hatred towards him and his family couldn’t have been anything other than a witch hunt, a witch hunt that continues to this day.

In conclusion, it is now up to the Republicans to grow spines and do what they should have done when Trump fired James Comey. Bill Clinton was impeached for less.

The Real Reason Trump Won: Racists & Sexists

There has been a lot of debate over why and how Trump won the election last November, but the real reason is obvious. The people who voted for him could not stand the thought of a female President immediately after eight years of a black President. It really is that simple.

Let’s take a look at the facts. On the 7th October, just over a month before the election, a video emerged of Trump and Billy Bush talking about women. Their comments:

“I did try and fuck her. She was married. I moved on her like a bitch. But I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.”

Now, a normal human being would be disgusted by these comment and withdraw support from anyone who said it, especially if that person was running for President. But that didn’t happen. Why? Because Trump voters are ok with this kind of language, they’re ok with looking down at women, hence their disgust and negative comments and attitude towards Hillary Clinton. It couldn’t be more obvious. The fact that people still voted for this man after hearing these comments come straight out of his mouth really speaks volumes about them. Sexists.

It was the same with Obama. Fox News, the channel that seems to back Trump no matter what, were negative from the first day of Obama’s Presidency, even calling him out for using the wrong kind of mustard on a hot dog. They even criticised the colour of his suit once, saying a President shouldn’t wear beige. Seriously? And Trump voters, who at the time were just pure racists, were no better. Their disgust at a black President was plain for everyone to see and it couldn’t be plainer seven months into the Trump Presidency. Racists were obviously never going to vote for Obama in the first place and Trump has given them all a mainstream mouthpiece like never before – his own mouth.

Now, I’m sure not every person who voted for Trump is a racist or a sexist. A lot of people have since jumped ship and realised the error that they made in voting for him. But for those who claim not to be racist and sexitst you’ve still got to question why they voted for a man who said that about women. And even now, nine months on, you’ve got to question why some still support him after his pro-Nazi Charlottesville comments. But frankly the people who still support him today have to be racist and sexist. There’s no other answer. When someone stands up for Nazis, white supremacists and the KKK you have to be racist. That’s just the way it is. There’s nothing else you can be.

In other words, Hillary was right. His supporters are deplorable.
