Dr. Seuss would have made a great book from this title
“A man who bans prior to having plans
Told the woman she must leave this land
In her country she was always being beat
She barely had food to eat
She would rather die than go back
So 30 pills to her eternal dirt nap’
Whatever you may think of “us” #immigrants never lose sight of the fact that “we” contributed to this America creating the #MeltingPot it is today. Collectively we all benefit from it’s cultural #diversity, you can travel the world without ever getting on plane. We have gained more than we have lost from immigration. Many jokes have been told about people from one country having 10 jobs, or another country doing a specific type of job, but none-the-less they work hard. As with any organization, group of friends or even your own family there will always be people with less than stellar reputations, who don’t follow rules but you do not execute the entire group for the negative behaviors that amount to a small fraction of the whole.
How do you support the ban on a group of people, without a plan? (I’m not saying I agree or disagree) Does this mean if you ask a question, the answer is ‘no’, then you follow up with ‘why’, the response is ‘because I said so,’ you’re good with that?
We can all agree, it’s not what you do it’s how you do it. Corporation tactics don’t apply to running the country. “Make America Great” starts with building a foundation of respect for human beings irrespective of the factors that make us different. If the fraction is hurting the country from a long term view then present it accordingly, along with a plan of correction, then ban. You can’t change years overnight. If you want to bring your corporate training to this position use what applies strategic planning, impact analysis, incremental implementation. Wanton execution of executive orders is not the silver bullet to greatness, it’s the real time version of Snap’s The Power, “Like the crack of the whip, I Snap attack.“
Taken off the pages of Social Studies books to the film reel, School House Rock musically translated with cartoon images the greatness of America’s Melting Pot, 1977. Are we getting the strainer or better yet the cheesecloth to purify America, is that your “great?” Are you using the guise of protection for other purposes, selectively granting a pass to other countries due to investments holdings? Well, you showed everyone who you are, told them what you would do, and you’re doing it. For the time being we will just ride this out until the wheels fall off or the wall is built whichever comes first.
