Donald Trump has spent his first two weeks rocking the Washington Establishment and throwing radioactive waves through the political elite in Washington. It's fair to say that our comrades on the left have been given a taste of their own executive over-each. Trump had promised all that he has mandated which is apart of the grand scheme of making America great again. It's clear that Trump’s orders will make history for making America safe through harsh precedented immigration laws, the restoration of religious liberty in America, and the early process of revitalizing America’s infrastructure and energy development.
Donald Trump, through his executive order on immigration, has efficiently taken steps to securing our border. His executive order was immediately attacked by the media and liberals as being unprecedented, islamophobic, and utterly deplorable. However, it has been relatively evident that leftist news agencies lack the burden of truth while they play on the political efficacy of liberals. First off, Trump mentions right from the beginning that there have been obvious problems with our visa system. A common fallacy played by western journalism is there hasn't been an attack by a foreign presence on U.S soil since 9/11. This couldn't be farther from the truth as our fragile visa system clearly demonstrates. There have been high profile terrorists approved by the U.S Visa system: the Ohio State attacker, the Boston Marathon Bombers, the Minnesota Machete attacker, the father of the Orlando night club shooter(taliban sympathizer) etc. This has been carefully ignored by Liberal politicians in order to reveal their “altruistic” nature when regarding foreigners and especially Muslims. The executive order will bring the U.S Visa system under strict review in order make it more efficient. The order states “the United States cannot, and should not, admit those who do not support the Constitution, or those would place violent ideologies over American law.” To be completely politically incorrect, this is a direct target at Islamists and Jihadist who are looking to spread the dangerous values of Fundamental Islam to the western world and to create a global Islamic Caliphate. It is true that Islam, like any other religion, has its problems yet large sects of it have shown a clear incompetence with keeping up with the progression of morally just western thought. I believe the American people don't want admit anyone whose values include the systematic oppression of women, the punishment of death to gays, and the punishment for apostasy which ranges from execution to prison. It's also important to look at the countries that were put on immigration probation. These countries were on a dangerous watch list handed to the Trump administration by the Obama administration. According to the order, nationals of countries of particular origin are suspended from getting visas. The countries that were banned are in clear disarray and anarchy. Yes, I acknowledge that they are from majority Muslim countries however the only country on the list in the top ten for Muslim population is Iran. The White House also made clear that through a statement by Reince Preibus that more countries would be added to the list. It's also crucial to point out that the ban is not set in stone and has been made to accommodate those who already have received green cards. In reality, only around 100 people were inconvenienced by the order. The ban also calls for a review of particular cases in which the Department of Homeland Security can review on a case to case basis. The ban accommodates religious minorities who have to claim persecution, it is very clear that Sunni Muslims living in Iran are a religious minority, and that the Muslim Kurds of Iraq are a targeted ethnic group that the Obama backed president of Iraq has looked to exterminate. It is very clear of the repercussions of accepting mass numbers of Syrian refugees, one would only have to look to the increased amount of rapes and other crimes in Germany since the beginning of the civil war. Migrants in Germany have committed 142,500 crimes in just six months, police figures have revealed this was the equivalent of 780 crimes a day which was an increase of nearly 40 percent over 2015, according to data from Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office. The order has officially declared Syrian refugees a direct threat to U.S national security interest and are detrimental to the United States. The order also lowers the quota for refugees to Pre-Obama levels to around 50,000. Was the order really that crazy? Absolutely not, and it's only a temporary solution until top intelligence officials can complete a more rigorous vetting process.
Trump has arguably been the most supportive of religious liberty in America of any president in the last 20 years. Constitutionally speaking, it is very clear that congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Trump has pledged his support for LGBTQ rights however he firmly believe that the religious liberty of private business owners is far more constitutionally present than that of LGBTQ patrons. It is well recognized that religious liberties were not upheld to their fullest extent under the Obama administration. This is evident when a Colorado appeals court in 2013 ruled against a Christian bakery which exemplified government entanglement with religious liberty. The Government has a duty to protect the people’s freedom to follow their beliefs personally and professionally rather than force them to adopt the government’s view. Based on a leaked executive order, Trump plans to allow religious practice of Christian businesses to deny service to gays on the basis of religious liberty essentially contradicting the Obama executive order that forced compliance. Now before the homophobic comments come out may we just ask where is homosexuality protected in the constitution under strict scrutiny? It's not, but religion is. The executive order would essentially mirror the first amendment defense act. Why should a Christian bakery be forced by the Government to be a conduit to a gay wedding when they believe what they're doing is a sin? Not to mention there are likely other non-evangelical bakeries, and there can be a sense of anonymity when buying a wedding cake. The leaked order tells the entire federal government to respect federal statutes and Supreme Court decisions that make clear the free exercise of religion applies to all people, of all faiths, in all places, and at all times. It also instructs the secretaries of health and human services, labor, and treasury to finally grant relief to the Little Sisters of the Poor and others who weren’t exempted from the Obamacare abortifacient and contraceptive mandate. Why should a business be required to provide women with birth control, honestly if a woman doesn't like that she has the right to quit that job. It's also a little hypocritical considering that condoms are not considered a form of birth control even though that's what they're intently used for. This potential mandate would also allow religious entities to speak out on political issues without losing their tax-free status. This essentially changes nothing since evangelical conservative churches and baptists black majority churches already do this. This is completely constitutional considering that the wall that divides church and state doesn't exist in our constitution and is just simply a phrase used by Thomas Jefferson.
Donald Trump has put the common good of the American workforce over the fallible concerns of the environmentalist. Through two mandates, Trump has signaled the the building of the Dakota access pipeline and the Keystone Pipeline. These orders have seen outcries from Environmentalists and Native American Rights groups alike and it has the ACLU on rapid epileptic trigger warning. Understandably, the pipelines would create permanent jobs or even a large amount considering the amount of jobs the U.S creates, but Trump really doesn't care this order shows he cares about the individual and every job added is a 1+ for America. Environmentalists claim this is destructive to the environment and it will cause a calamity. Well reality really isn't clicking considering that the United States has become the number one producer of petroleum under the Obama administration. What also is astounding is there are already pipelines that run from the oil sands of Canada down into America. Native American groups are ticked off that the pipeline is on reservation land. All I have to say is well technically it's not on your land it's under your land. Building the pipelines is also crucial to the states in which they're being built in. Refinery modifications and pipeline construction create jobs and bring additional tax revenue and other economic benefits to their localities. The real benefits of extending these pipelines would be excellent to stimulate economic growth. Building the pipelines is estimated to generate $138.4 million in annual property tax revenue for state governments and local entities where the pipeline is located; create $585 million in new taxes for communities among the pipeline route; create more than $5.2 billion in property taxes during the lifetime of the pipeline. So, in actuality, this order would end up stimulating job growth in Native American localities and not hinder environmental safety. America is currently waiting on President Trump’s infrastructure order which he promised during the campaign.
I wrote this not in protest, not in anger and not in ignorance. After hearing about an ideologically partisan task you had given your students; I felt it imperative that I give voice to the other side. I respect the values of all Americans and respect the opinions of teachers and students of our country. Just consider this a roadblock for the next time you turn left at reality. I hope that we all take the advice of the previous president and engage in open ideological debates so that we can settle our differences in an academic decorum. Liberal Academia swaying the minds of kids will only contribute to the divide of our future and serve to hinder constructive progress of an intellectual sparring match.
