Make America Great Again, By Deporting Salvadorans


Possible deportation from the US is what hundreds of thousands of migrants face after the White house's decision to withdraw El Salvador migrants' right to remain in the US after almost three decades. Democrats have vowed to fight the "unconscionable cruel decision", with many based in Washington DC. On Monday, the Trump administration said that the Central American migrants have to either leave or seek lawful residency, giving them an 18 month period grace.

A group known is the US immigration parlance as "Dreamer", consisting of around 700,000 people who came to the US illegally as children, could also face deportation unless congress acts before March to legitimise their status. On Tuesday, Trump met with a bipartisan group of senators to discuss a deal to allow the approximate 700,000 Dreamers to remain in the country in return for a bill to fund the proposed southern border wall.


This decision made by the White House seems rather poor and ridiculous from my point of view. It seems that Trump is making rash decisions based on his ignorant bigoted nature and fails to accept other points of views, even if it was a point of view which former presidents have made beforehand and seems to work in favour of the US and the wider world.
