Automatic attitudinal response

Going back and reading what I have wrote on my OTM, I do not say anything different than what others say. A majority of the people that I have talked to, and some of my class mates have the same thoughts. I am not a trump supporter at all. Especial for the fact that at one point he was wanting to separate me from my family, and I don't doubt that he still has those plans. I want to believe that our new fearless leader will make " "America great again" like he is saying, but separating families, is not the way to go. Yes I do hesitate to write some of my thought on my blog because I don't like to " rock the boat." I rather stay to myself and not cause chaos around me. There are things that I am very strongly against, others I am very open minded about. One is my family and their safety, I live everyday worried that I will get that phone call saying that my parent have been taken from their home because they are illegal immigrants, they live in fear as well, so much that they have given up all their properties to sign them over to my name so if the day comes that they are not here, I will be able to hand all of the financial responsibilities that they have here, car payments, mortgage, bills, bank accounts, ect.
I do not support your leader that we have, anyone that know me knows that I am very against him. I am not one to go around with riots, because that will just bring more power to him. He wants to deport people that are just here to work and have a better life.
A debate that I was watching  stated that his casino, his hotels, and all his other buildings would not be up and running if it was not for there immigrants. contracting companies hire 90% of their staff are immigrants, it is not because they can get away with paying them less, it is because they are hard working and get the job done right. Most of the staff is immigrants, that do the cooking, cleaning, serving, and more. So he basically took advantage of their work to build his business, and now he wants to get ride of them like if they are some toy that once he is tired of playing with it he tosses it away.

What we know about the boarder OTM#2

The on the media that I was listening to was talking about the testimonies of people that were retained in the boarder and mistreated because they seemed like they were immigrants. The people told their story on how they did not even give them a chance to ask questions and when they did the officers would respond with " it is not your right to know." These people were US citizens, and the officers did not care, they still treated them like criminals. This was in Terr-onto, Canada, but this kind of maltreatment happens in all US boarders, to all those that they feel like could be a threat.
My husband has had the unfortunate experience that group did in Canada. He was 15 when his parents decided that since he is a US citizen he should come to school her instead of growing up in Mexico where his opportunities are limited. They sent him with his uncle that lives in Phoenix, Arizona so he could go live there. when they were at the boarder they were passing security to get their passports checked, get through. When they got to him they saw him, and saw that he did not know any English at all, so they immediately though he was being smuggled to the USA. The boarder patrol took him into custody, and just left him there for a few hours.
He says that they would talk about him, but would not even try to talk to him, or ask him any questions. The officers had not even looked at his identifications to see that he is in fact a US citizen, they were just going with their assumptions. A few hours later they finally talked to him, they would ask him same questions over and over again. what is your real name? Who's identification are you using to cross over? Why are you lying to us? etc. The officers would keep asking him those questions in hopes that he would answer something different.
He was not able to make a call to his parents, his uncle was not able to see him or talk to him either they denied all requests that they would ask. The kept him there over night and told him that they needed to investigate more. The next day they decided to search his luggage, that is when they saw that he had his american passport, social security card, birth certificate, and more. That's when they decided to let him go a few hours later, without any explanation or even contacting a family member to go pick him up. He was released to fend for himself in a world that he had no knowledge of, and was not able to communicate with most of the population.
So instead of Trump trying to make a bigger wall that will not do no good because people regardless will find a way to come to the US he should be improving the boarder patrol in the way to not just detain inasent people just because of the way that they look.
