Trump might be onto something. I've heard he wants to make it easier for immigrants from predominantly muslim countries to get into the USA. I've been told that he needed to do a complete shutdown of travel to roll this new program out. Unfortunately, some people in the short term will be effected by that in a negative way. Some people may even die while waiting. But it's the cost of progress. If it means a brighter future than maybe this is what has to happen. Maybe Donald Trump just isn't afraid to let the public see what really goes on. There is no sense hiding the carnage from the american people.
Screw it. I can't. Politics is complicated. Security is complicated. International Travel is complicated. Governing is complicated. Everything is so complicated and the ripple effect from every decision spreads farther than the eye can see. Potentially into future generations. Years of research and background information need to be done before making a decision regarding our relationship with the world and the even inside our own borders.
Trump decided to run for president, what? A year and a half ago? He became the republican nominee a little less than a full year ago. He became president elect about 3 months ago. Most of the people he is appointing have little government experience. Trump himself isn't even a politician. He doesn't know how it all works. EVEN if it's not working as good as it could be. It's like having a middle school student who just passed an intro to biology perform open heart surgery.
Hey, maybe in 50 years we'll look back and see this with a whole different perspective. Actually I'm almost positive we will.
Or maybe those making decisions need to imagine what it will be like in future with the consequences of a signature.
I'm just not feeling confident.
Trump signed an executive order to repeal the Affordable Care Act with nothing to take it's place.
Trump signed a ban on immigration from predominantly Muslim countries including refugees from war torn syria. I know he didn't create this list, Obama did. He said he has plans for a new vetting process. But immigration needs shut down in order to implement it. Why couldn't he roll out this new process in real time? Our vetting process here seems to be pretty damn good. Considering 780,000 some were admitted to the US since 9/11 and not one of them killed anyone. You have a greater risk of dying while falling out of bed. He has no new vetting process in place. He's on a four month clock to get one put together.
