There are 8 comments on President Trump: What He Should Do, How He Should Do It

  1. Alec I agree with you completely. Climate change will and has been affecting the world for a long time now and I for one believe drastic steps must be taken to preserve the world for future generations. The ice caps and rain forests are key to our environment and the world must come together to replenish and protect these resources. Alternative forms of energy are one step, but we must also find a way to curb all types of pollution and human shortsightedness quickly to stem the damage until we can find a way to live in the world and not harm it. My hope is that students like yourself will take the lead and make great changes to sustain and protect the world we live in. Unfortunately these (and other) problems fall on you to find solutions for. I am sorry you have to do it but I have every confidence you can.

    1. Unfortunately the cost and hardship of assuaging climate change will fall on the average citizen. While the elite 1%, including all the multimillionaire celebrities denouncing Trump, will continue to live their lavish lifestyles and look down on anyone who disagrees with them.

  3. I agree with you Mark, Climate change will and has been affecting the world for a long time now and I for one believe drastic steps must be taken to preserve the world for future generations.

  4. I do not believe that you students — at least all who have lived in the United States — realize the horrors of War. Having lived through World War II, the horrors of Isis and the threat of them coming over here is very real. We cannot have open boarders nor can we have an open immigration policy. We will be able to accept foreign people when President Trump has the vetting process in place. Be patient and give him a chance. Don’t forget — he is on our side and he is our President! Anne – SFA ’62.

  5. Anne — you are astonishingly uninformed about how immigration policy works in the United States. There are no open borders and there is no open immigration policy. Unless you come as undocumented immigrant, there is stringent vetting of anyone who wants to move to the United States already. I feel bad for you that you know so little about the country in which you live.

    1. Ralph- Not stringent enough. I agree with Anne. The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has estimated that 11.4 million illegal immigrants lived in the United States in January 2012. According to DHS estimates, “the number of illegal immigrants peaked around 12 million in 2007 and has gradually declined to closer to 11 million.”[1] The DHS estimate “is in the same ballpark as several independent organizations that study illegal immigration, including Pew Research Center (11.3 million); the Center for Migration Studies (11 million)…..

  6. Ralph, Anne didn’t say we have open immigration, only that we cannot have it. We can’t come to a reasonable solutions unless we acknowledge problems on each side of the issue. There are flaws in our vetting system (I worked for years to recruit non`Americans to the U.S. to work). The 3 men who plotted and carried out the Twin Tower attacks which killed thousands of innocent people, the husband/wife team who killed government workers in CA, the man who had been deported 3x who stabbed the young lady, and other incidents
