Due to the recent unrest due to the political battle heating up… Some of our presidential candidates are not making this easier for us the voter. Their individual accolades start from small million dollar loans, to the deletion of 30,000 emails… It leaves us in a cloud of confusion. These candidates just don’t seem fit for the oval office. No presidential candidate has stirred up as much love and adoration evenly balanced by hatred at the same. Donald J. Trump found guilty in the counts of Making America Great Again… As well as blatant ignorance to attract voters. According to the New York Times article Trump openly said, “I’m opposed to new people (referring to immigrants) coming in.” He continued, “We have to take care of the people who are here.”

Dear Mr. Trump… The apprentice is a great show! But on to serious matters let’s take a look at this comment and break it down. The “Melting Pot,” what is the Melting Pot? If we take a deeper look at the lineage of the USA’s inhabitants, it dominantly consists of immigrants and refugees… Studies show that 1.7% of inhabitants of this country are Native Americans. Let’s take a mathematical look at that (100-1.7= 98.3%),  so I know that 98.3 % did not get here through evolution, but I believe we call them ships and planes. There are people of this beautiful country deployed and are currently serving in over 150+ countries and that means that there is more than 150,000+ US military members all over the world, on foreign soil right now at this moment as you read this post. On Saint Patty’s day millions of people claim to be 1/349th % Irish…

In conclusion we all come from somewhere else and before you post or share an offensive post about allowing refugees into this country, and promoting the killings of innocent civilians, be sure that you understand the history and facts of how this great country came to be… I’m glad to be an American but I’m gladder to be an immigrant of Africa…
