I think we can all agree that Trump never misses an opportunity add incendiary rhetoric to a conversation. As a politician and businessman, it's a very successful way to distract people from the core issues at hand.
So, what is the core issue?
The core issue, politics/opinions aside, is that we have a large amount of people migrating to the United States. Some are good, some are great, some are bad, and some are gravy. Alright, cool. In order for any immigrant policy is any nation to be successful, the immigrants have to be successfully assimilated in some fashion to act as contributing members of society. That doesn't mean they have to look or act exactly the same, but they have to have the same general goal as everyone else. That's true for Norway, Germany, China, or any country with immigrant policies.
Am I tracking? Alright, good.
Assimilation, however, doesn't come free. It requires some form of active, passive, or loss of investment on part of the parent country. And right now, a lot of those immigrants need to be further educated, taught new skills, taught English, and provided with a place to live until they do so. Every single immigrant coming to America right now can be successfully integrated. Every single one. That's not the problem. The problem is how are you going to best and most efficiently solve for that? That's what actually requires the real thinking.
The real dividing factor in America politics right now comes down to answering that last question. Right now, a lot of Americans are watching the actions of these sanctuary cities and wondering if this is really the best policy. Is this the best use of resources? And, is it being respectful to the citizens who are already living there? These are valid concerns, and they have to be considered.
If you want to be the better man than Trump, which is not hard (lolololololol), go after the real issues. Be the solution. Don't add fuel to the fire.
