The Pros of a Donald Trump Presidency American politics have always fascinated me. Where else can you find a medium that discusses some of the world's most pressing issues, while at the same time giving you an opportunity to analyze American behavior as it unfolds upon a political system that has influenced many other countries, including the Dominican Republic. But let’s be honest, politics can also be very dull, with its insipid candidates, anticlimactic voting system, and laws worded in such a way that would confuse even Joyce. Thank god for Donald Trump!…
When people began judging president Trump for the idea of a ban on Muslims entering the United States, he quoted as a relevant historical event, World War II and the proclamations issued by then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt empowering the authorities to send away Japanese, German and Italian immigrants. In 1942, Roosevelt delivered an executive order that sent Japanese-Americans, many of them families that had been settled in the United States for generations, they were sent to so-called internment camps established along the West Coast. Trump described Roosevelt's policies as "far worse," but history experts have suggested the former president's wartime decisions weren't a good example for Trump to use at all. While Americans initially…
As the 2016 election approaches, the presidential candidates and citizens await the decision of who will be the next leader of the United States of America. Donald Trump, a republican candidate, should not be elected president due to his immigration policy. After reading the book Just Like Us, by Helen Thorpe, Donald Trump is surely the wrong candidate. The immigration policy of Donald trump, is not a feasible and realistic policy. The policy will not move our nation forward in the quest to repair an increasingly conflict-ridden immigration system because his policy is racist, he plans to deport millions of people, and it is simply unrealistic.…
If there are journalists to report on the government scandal or have sociologists and economists to speech about China 's economy and people 's livelihood issues, so they will be arrested and sentenced by the government’s trumped-up charges. I fear about the government 's brutal heartless behavior and I feel…
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is not the “Christian choice” for Hollywood actress Melissa Joan Hart, who was not planning on voting this year until she found that her views aligned with that of Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. In an interview with The Blaze, Hart said she was discouraged by Trump and his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, but she later found hope in Johnson. Now, she has become the Libertarian presidential candidate’s Connecticut state chair and is tasked to promote him. “To me, true conservative ideals of just less government interference in our lives, he really stood for that,” Hart said in the interview.…
Republican nominee (Donald J. Trump), running for U.S presidency thought it was a terrific idea to meet with the Mexican president to discuss an important issue. That specific problem was illegal immigration across borders. Trump tries to convince Mexican president (Enrique Peña Nieto) to pay for a Wall, which is intended to control and regulate illegal immigration. Unfortunately, President Nieto refused, however Donald Trump still states the president agreed to pay for the Wall. There is still some speculation as whether a wall will be built or not.…
Briefly discuss the reason proponents for the 2009 Stimulus Plan considered it a social welfare program in disguise. In Obama’s first term it was agreed upon by him and his economic advisors that in-order to stop the economy from entering- into another Great Depression, the American Recovery and Reinvestment ACT had to be passed. The ARRA Stimulus of 787 billion dollars was disguised as a social welfare tactic because its supporters focused on improving the economy rather than its actual content. Describe the consequences of the Great Recession on two vulnerable populations or out-groups.…
Beginning in 2009, Texas has filed about forty-eight lawsuits against the Obama administration. Of those forty-eight lawsuits, thirty-one of them were filed by Texas Governor, Greg Abbott. Among these lawsuits, seven wins, nine withdrawn, twenty pending, and twelve losses. The most recent win is regarding Obama’s order that would have given millions of people relief from deportation. A split U.S. Supreme Court have decided with Texas to strike down Obama’s executive order.…
A second Act that is worth mentioning is the Chinese Exclusion Act, this was the first time that United States passed a law that would not allow entry to a specific ethnic group in this case from China, Japan or any other Oriental countries. The act was targeting mainly Chinese workers, those who were unskilled and even those who were skilled but, they did make small exceptions with teachers, students, or officials. Middle class Chinese workers first became interested in the United States during the California Gold Rush around 1884, suspicions about mountains filled with gold got to the ears of many Chinese people. This is when the numbers for Chinese immigrants started rising, when the gold rush started to slow down so did their immigration.…
Almost seven years ago on November 4, 2008 we found out that Barack Obama would be our 44th president of the United States. Barack Obama has been a successful president; just like any president he completed promises, broke promises and compromised promises. Before Barack Obama was president he ran as a democrat and won the election in 1996 for Illinois state senator (Biography.com Editors, N.d). In Obamas presidential campaign he made promises on what he was going to do and change; he did keep some of the promises he said he was going to accomplish. At times we all make promises that we say we are going to do, but then we do not end up doing them just like Obama did…
The Trump administration has been a topic of much heated debate the past couple of months which makes it a difficult subject to talk about because it is not simply a black and white answer, there are many shades of grey mixed in. Our constitution protects against authoritarianism by putting into place the three branches of government, Legislative, Executive, and Judicial, to keep each other in check. When one power is becoming too great the other branches are there to combat it with checks and balances. James Madison states in the Federalist Papers, “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced…
How can everyone say that racism is over? When we all Mexicans are feeling it. It's so sad how many immigrant families feel so scare about the new president, since it can change every Mexican family in the United States. Why been immigrant is so bad? How can Donald Trump have the right to classify every Mexican as criminals, rapist and drug addicts?…
The Electoral college results of the 2016 presidential campaign were 306 against 232 with Donald Trump in the lead, thus winning the position of President-elect. The well-known candidates of this election were Republican Donald Trump, and Democrat Hillary Clinton, whereas the lesser-known candidates were Liberal Gary Johnson, and Green Party Jill Stein. Several controversies that circulated during the campaign were the issues regarding Clinton’s private email servers, and the leaked recording revealing Trump’s comments about women in lewd and degrading terms. Whilst serving as the secretary of state, Clinton had used a private email server, though she never sought out for approval to handle state business on the private server. When the press…
The article, “the horrors of a slave ship” is about a period in the history of America when ships were taken into captivity, especially when they challenged the commercial revolution of Europe. The men inside the ships were chained on the middle deck of the ship. In the ship was a gun room that encompassed weapons. These men used the enslaved African children to slip tools to them so that they could sneak into the gun room and obtain the weapons. The weapons were used in the battle between the Africans and the Americans.…
There is but one china, and Taiwan is a part of China.” This statement, otherwise known as the One China Policy is absolutely correct. Today, China is a country divided into two separate governments; Taiwan which is governed by the Republic of China, and the mainland which is governed by The Peoples Republic of China (cfr.org, Michal Roberge and Youkyoung Lee). Here lies the problem; each government claims that they are the true China! To fully understand this highly controversial dilemma, one must understand the complicated history behind this problem.…
