Finally the last one. I can finally stop talking about
Donald Trump for a while. So let me hurry up and critique his plan.
Refugee program for American Children: Trump wants to increase the
standards of admission of refugees and asylum seekers. He sees the system
as abused and thus wants to fix it, while at the same time saving money because
let's face it, refugees and asylum seekers bypass the normal channels to come
into the country and they may be ill equipped to fend for themselves. The
saved money would be used to place American kids in safer homes and communities
while also improving the safety of high crime neighborhoods. Now I am in
favor of what he is trying to do with this, but their of course is a problem.
Crime in a neighborhood is in part a cultural as well as an economic problem
that is compounded by issues due to the drug war. So unless he intends to
do something about the drug war and other matters the improving of high crime
neighborhoods is pointless. Also, both the adoption and placement of
kids, along with tending to local communities is not a Federal issue despite
how nice it may look on paper. Reason being is that adoption and such are
almost exclusively State issues. So I fail to see how well this will
work, and it comes off as a wishy washy give me your vote’s gimmick. But
the Stricter standards for asylum and refugees works.
Immigration moderation: Trump wants a pause to occur.
Before any new green cards are issued to foreign workers to work in the United
States, he would have the businesses of America hire from unemployed U.S.
citizens, and legal residents so as to increase American employment.
Basically, no foreign workers will be allowed in for a set period of time
so as to force businesses to choose from workers here in the United States.
This is how I am hoping it would occur. The reason being is that
the only alternative would be to force businesses by law to hire U.S. citizens
and approved foreign nationals allowed to live in the United States.
Basically, if it is the latter, then we are evoking fascistic principles
and potentially racial, ethnic and nationalist racism at that.
Conclusion: Ok, so if you take these final
parts of Trump's plan with the others I have already talked about, you get some
good ideas, like raising the minimum wage of approved foreign workers so that
they do not compete with lower skilled U.S. workers, and the refugee/asylum
standards increase. However, I see a lot of fluff and of course the
potential unconstitutional consequences of altering the 14th Amendment, and the
potential part of forcing U.S. businesses to hire people via law as opposed to
the freedom of contract protected in the U.S. Constitution. I thus cannot
endorse Trump, not that I particularly think he is the right man for the job
(so I am a little biased), as I prefer a different candidate who will not
violate the Constitution.
