Going Republican

PRESIDENT TRUMP assures us that the republican party has the best interests of america's immigrant population in mind, far above and beyond those sneaky, pandering democrats. Presumably he meant all immigrants, legal, illegal, dreamers. Go with the G.O.P., says the president, and your fortunes will improve. But wait. Wasn't it Trump who, upon his ascension, issued executive orders intended to keep out all conceivable manner of immigrants, including those whose religious beliefs do not conform to American norms? Isn't it Trump who, for most of his public life, has suggested that any child born parents who then became illegal American denizens were, nonetheless, albeit through no fault of their, illegally within U.s. borders? Does the president honestly believe that the democrat dream of amnesty not only for dreamers but for most illegal residents is worse treatment than the republicans have to offer? That all illegal immigrants, and all Islamic immigrants, would prefer being kicked out and kept out of the United States rather than accepted as citizens? How, exactly, does that work? The president considers the republican party the best bet for America's poor, America's homeless, and america's workers as well. By refusing to raise minimum wage above the federal seven twenty five an hour, people are guaranteed employment, since anyone is willing to hire anyone at such a low rate. Or something like that, the reasoning must go. The democrat plan to significantly raise minimum will....what?...turn hard working Americans into spoiled lazy slugs? or prevent them from being employed at all, since, with higher wages, the work done by workers suddenly, mysteriously, magically no longer needs to be done? Trump and the republicans would have transgender women using the men's bathroom, and would have us all praying in public schools, whether or not we want to. That's real compassion.
