In my blog I stay away from politics and religion, but after watching the rise of an abusive, bigoted, presidential candidate, I can no longer stay silent.
_A Letter to Trump: As a Latino immigrant and an American citizen, married to a Muslim Jordanian-American, it’s difficult to understand how you, the leading Republican candidate is using xenophobia to win votes. I recognize that you have an irrational fear of people from different countries, cultures, and religions, but it is our vote that you must earn if you intend to be considered for the job. Yes, you are applying to serve 321 million people made up of white, black, Asian, Latino, gay, straight, and they are all Americans living in one nation; the United States of America. Understand that mainly immigrants built America. Recognize that immigrants are an asset and not a liability for this country. Instead, emphasize on creating a legal system to allow the right people to enter the country while consciously making an effort to better integrate them within our society. In short, Mr. Trump, in order for you to become the President of this great country as a world leader, you must understand that you will be working for all of us. The ability to listen and accept different opinions; to inspire, motivate and unite are requirements for the position of President. There is no tolerance to destroy, divide and hatred. Most importantly, stop your xenophobic speeches that promote hate to win votes. This country is called the United States of America for a reason: to unite! _"You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind" _Mahatma Gandhi

Let's hope understands that character counts. Unfortunately too many Americans see an election as popularity contest and people seem to be largely concerned with being on the winning side. Many people are xenophobic in this media embellished era and Trump's message speaks to all the disenfranchised people who cling to some type of unifying cause. Thanks for being brave and sharing your voice against such inhumanity. :)

Just like you, I can feel that President Donald Trump has a lot of things to leaner first before he can be considered as an efficient leader. I know that no one is perfect so we should neither try to be perfect too. But it's pretty sad that Mr. Trump has a different agenda aside from being a sole president of this powerful country. In my opinion, he might be trying, but this country deserves someone who has the love and willingness to make everything count! Leave a Reply. |
