Personal Narrative: Make America Great Again
As a native of Northwest Ohio, it is not hard to believe that I am a Conservative. I have been instilled the beliefs that our government should be small, and our border security, strong. I am by no means a political science expert, I just believe I have some important thoughts to add to the political conversation.

For starters, no, I am not a whole-hearted Donald Trump supporter. I do not, and will not, place a “Make America Great Again” sign in my front yard. He makes statements that, frankly, should frighten any America but, he does have some ideas regarding the security of our nation that I do agree with.

The main components of Trump’s current plan of national security include stronger border patrol and a focus on deportation in which criminal aliens will be removed from the country. This plan resonates with me because of the fact that criminals in the country illegally will be removed, which, if implemented properly will create a safer country for all of us.

Where I think Trump falls flat, though, is his lack of a concrete plan to ensure all criminal illegals are found and removed from the country. According to a Fox News article Trump stated, “It’s our right as a sovereign nation to choose immigrants we think are the likeliest to thrive and flourish and love us.” In a perfect

With a lack of knowledge about who these refugees truly are and who their loyalties are with, it is a huge liability to allow them to enter the country. Also, it seems there is no type of assimilation program in place to ensure these refugees are able to fit into American society. Not to mention the health concerns that these refugees pose on the safety of Americans as these individuals carry a large risk of health concerns as rates of Tuberculosis are very common among

    Trump wants to end DACA. I think that he shouldn’t end DACA.The DACA program allows undocumented young adults work in the country legally. DACA was an Obama-era program. “The DACA program, announced by President Obama in June, 2012, provided recipients with protection from deportation for two years, which could be renewed, and allowed them to work(Alvarez, 3). I think that Trump is scared of undocumented people and what they could become. If they are continued allowance in the U.S. Immigration Services and U.S. Citizenship gave work to thousands of undocumented immigrants giving them the ability to work, to make something of themselves. The executive branch has legal authority to implement DACA. More than 100 law professors signed a letter…

    On Tuesday, January 10, President Donald Trump delivered his first State of the Union address. A large portion of his speech was devoted to the controversial topic of immigration reform. A careful analysis of his remarks reveals that he does not want undocumented people living in America. Although he does squeeze in some ideas that will allow a limited amount of immigrants to receive citizenship most were ideas to them keep out or severely hurt their chances. Trump uses a series of rhetorical devices to label undocumented immigrants as bad beings such as logos and pathos, repetition and anaphora.…

    Radical extremists have put fear into American society, causing many to resent immigrants and refugees. President Trump has worked with foreign governments to eliminate the threat of radical extremists, specifically in the Middle East. During a conference in Saudi Arabia, Trump said, “[W]e are here to offer partnership, based on shared interests and values, to pursue a better future for us all” (“Donald Trump and . . . ”). Since the beginning of his term, Trump has pushed for secure borders. On January 25, 2017, Trump signed an Executive Order, part of which stated, “Among those who illegally enter . . .…

    Donald Trump is the Republican choice and holds views which beforehand were only used as internet jokes, which has led many to initial think he was a joke run for president before he realised he could actually win. He believes that a wall should be built on the Mexican border to prevent people from crossing over without earning a USA citizenship, and also thinks that Muslims should not be allowed into the country in case they are terrorists. Some however think that by “build a wall” actually means he will just increase security, among these are Collan H. who says “Many say that Trump is actually going to build a wall, but he won't.” Many criticize him by saying that he will be persecuting Muslims and that his plan of having a special Muslim…

    The 2016 Presidential Election was easily the most negative Election in recent history. Apart from my policy disagreements with President Elect Trump, I am morally repulsed by his conduct. My Hispanic friends were offended by the insinuation a that Mexican immigrants were criminals and a unwanted burden on the United States. My female friends were terrified by his misogyny and open, joking (at best) attitude towards sexual assault. I was disgusted by his disdain for the environment and the truth.…

    If I were to describe my political ideology, I would consider myself mostly liberal with some independent views. I believe in equality for everyone, regardless of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, nationality, etc. I think Americans need to be a little more accepting, and open to reaching out and helping those in need. This country needs to continue moving forward and growing, and I do not see that happening with a conservative in charge.…

    Donald Trump believes that most illegal immigrants are terrorists and are coming to to destroy this country. There is the stereotype that all immigrants from Syria’s main purpose to coming to the United States is to bomb the country and change the beliefs of the common person. Donald Trump also remarked, “Numerous foreign-born individuals have been convicted or implicated in terrorism-related crimes since September 11, 2001, including foreign national who entered through the United States refugee resettlement program.” (Trump,____). Humorously, Trump refutes his original statement when he remarks that some terrorists indeed have visas or are simply coming to the U. S. for a better…

    To begin with, the United States is currently engaged in heated debate over the future of immigration policy. With estimates showing upwards of 12 million illegal immigrants now living in the United States it is certainly easy to understand the high stakes of comprehensive immigration reform. At the moment, there are two major schools of thought regarding the implementation of such reforms. The liberal philosophy favors a pathway to citizenship for each illegal immigrant, and it tends to shy away from strict border enforcement measures championed by conservatives. Conversely, the conservative/republican philosophy directly ties the strength of border security to any pathway for citizenship. They believe that sealing the border and tracking those who cross should be the utmost priority. Often the issue of terrorism is cited when crafting these strict border proposals. Many conservatives see the porous border as a potential entry point for individuals seeking to do harm to US citizens. Ever since the passage of the “1986 Immigration Control and Reform Act,” which ultimately failed, few administrations have had the political courage to tackle this issue head on. Critics to the current proposals suggest that legislators are simply repeating the mistakes of 1986. Senator David Vitter (R-La) said, “the latest proposals contain the same three…
