To the editor: I’ve been intently following the current unrest in Los Angeles and thought Mark Z. Barabak’s column was one of the best evaluation of President Trump’s mishandling of the protests towards the ICE raids (“Placing the bully in bully pulpit, Trump escalates in L.A. reasonably than in search of calm,” June 9).
Barabak so accurately wrote that Trump was “launching an assault on the Structure and the bounds of presidential energy.” By way of the 2 topics of the “bully pulpit” and presidential powers, I’m baffled why pundits within the media have but to level out an omission in Trump’s harsh anti-illegal-immigrant agenda. If he’s so hardline towards undocumented migrants who break legal guidelines to return right here, why hasn’t he used his pulpit and his presidential energy to honor the entire potential immigrants in Mexico and the Central American nations who’ve gone via the precise channels by obeying the immigration legal guidelines and have been on ready lists for a number of years to return to the U.S.?
With the stroke of a pen, he might grant them computerized inexperienced playing cards and a quick observe to citizenship for obeying our immigration legal guidelines, which might in impact profit his personal public uncompromising stance towards undocumented immigrants. The underside line is that Trump is ignoring a coverage that will really spotlight his administration’s stance on adhering to authorized immigration.
