Love, tolerance, truth, inclusivity, respect – those are the reasons I’m proud to be an American. Diversity is the backbone of our country, without it, we lose our special sauce.
I saw a protest sign that sums it up, “love, not hate, makes America great.” I will not be silent about defending our American values. My heart goes out to everyone who has been affected by Trump’s executive orders on immigration. This action does not represent most Americans and we will do everything in our power to fight.
Immigration is something that’s debated about a lot. However, when it’s regarding people’s lives, it shouldn’t have to be debated. People from less developed countries are trying to improve their lives for their children, which should be universally accepted. With current border restrictions only allowing immigrants into the country if they can provide some form of legal documentation, it seems that America is being quite restricting with those struggling to get hold of some documents. For help gaining legal access into America, it might be worth reading about How to immigrate to America in a safe way. Meeting all the legal requirements is always a good idea, especially when trying to move your life over to another country.
The people of America will keep fighting for more equality for those genuine people trying to make a better life for their family. Trump’s executive orders are not the beliefs of all of the country, which is why so many people are protesting on behalf of those who can’t be represented themselves.
