No Reverse Migration

As reported by the Associated Press, President Donald Trump says he wants to “permanently pause migration” from poorer nations and is promising to seek to expel millions of immigrants from the United States by revoking their legal status. He is blaming immigrants for problems from crime to housing shortages as part of “social dysfunction” in America and demanding “REVERSE MIGRATION.”

What happened to the words on the Statue of Liberty?  “Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” is inscribed on a plaque on the pedestal inside the statue, not on the tablet itself.

Everyone in America except native Americans are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants. Immigrants made the United States what it is today. Donald Trump’s Reverse Migration idea is opposition to what has made America great. The wordsmiths who are the columnist for our newspapers will write about this more elegantly than me.

Trump the Dictator

Donald Trump was sent a message on election day 11/4/2025. All the major elections were won by Democrats. His reaction was predictable. His contention is that the elections were rigged. Furthermore, since his name was not on the ballots he doesn’t see himself as losing the elections. He sees the results as GOP loss but not his loss.

Trump sees himself as all powerful.

With no one to stop him Trump as he continues to do things that presidents are not supposed to be doing. We are witnessing the decline of America into a dictatorship.

Destruction of the American Democracy

Slowly but surely Donald Trump is destroying the American democracy. Slowly so you won’t notice the loss. It’s like the frog being baked. He attacks everyone and everything he finds objectionable. He wants no words spoken or written that criticize him. He views the press as his enemy and objects to free speech.

In Trump’s America there is no free press. Podcasts and Broadcast news and opinion will only be what he approves. There is no medical science that contradicts his views even though he has no medical training. He wants all schools to tell his version of American history and that means nothing said about the treatment of minorities.

Trump wants martial law. Martial law involves the temporary substitution of military authority for civilian rule and is usually invoked in time of war, rebellion, or natural disaster. When martial law is in effect, the military commander of an area or country has unlimited authority to make and enforce laws.

Sadly almost 50% of Americans approve of the Trump presidency according to daily average of polls conducted by dozens of different organizations as reported by the New York Times.
