The Ignorance And Naivete Of Millions Of Americans About Immigration And Isolationism

The ignorance and naivete of millions of Americans about immigration and isolationism is extremely depressing and counterproductive!

America is a nation of immigrants, and for so many Americans to wish a curb on immigration, and not be concerned about the possible deportation of undocumented immigrants who have not been arrested or convicted, is stunning.

The importance of immigration is misunderstood, as the economy will be horribly damaged if mass deportation occurs, and there will be massive inflation, and shortage of workers to fill many jobs across the economy.

And for Americans to think isolationism, and ignoring of aggression by authoritarian governments is not our concern, makes clear their total lack of knowledge of World War II and the Cold War.

Of course, Republicans want to promote ignorance and naivete in order to gain and keep power, so the concept that history needs to be sanitized for the future generation is highly disturbing.

It is deja vu all over again, as Donald Trump returns to power to do more damage on human rights, the economy, national security, and so many other areas of policy.

America is reaching the lowest level of education and knowledge of the masses, and that is a guarantee of the destruction of American democracy, if allowed to succeed over the next few years.

So all those who care about America and its future must do everything possible legally to thwart the evil intentions of the Trump Presidency, including court suits, and courageous journalism, and the American people utilizing the First Amendment rights of speech, press, assembly and religion free of government intervention!

    Trump has been promising since the campaign to invoke a centuries-old law, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, as a vehicle for his mass deportation plans. The problem is that the law has never been used in the way he’s talking about, likely prompting a legal battle over its usage:

    “Congress (not the president) has the power to declare war. And while Trump and other politicians have used invasion-type language when talking about immigration, that doesn’t turn the actions of people from other countries into actions taken by other countries. It’s a wartime law, and there isn’t a war.”
