Speaking Out

I am unhappy with many of the things that are happening out of the office of the President of the United States of America.   Today, I sent messages to the President, my Representative, and both Senators.  I am the grandchild of immigrants who came to this country because they did not agree with the political actions of their country. I do not, today, agree, with the political actions of my country because the Transportation Safety Administration https://www.tsa.gov/ and the Department of Homeland Security https://www.dhs.gov/ and the Office of Immigration Enforcement https://www.ice.gov/. are being required to follow the executive order of the President of the Untied States of America. 

I have sent this message to the office of the President:

To President Trump:

Mr. President,  I believe your executive order on immigration may have some unintended consequences on green-carded legitimate residents of this country that are unconstitutional.  While I appreciate your concern for the safety of our country, I feel that if I do not register my concerns about the unconstitutionality of your actions, I am consenting to this unconstitutional behavior.  I feel strongly that the United States of America has a moral high ground and our government actions should reflect that moral high ground. Thank you for your consideration.

I have sent this message to Congressman Arrington, Senator Cornyn, and Senator Cruz:

I believe Mr. Trump's executive order on immigration may have some unintended consequences on green-carded legitimate residents of this country that are unconstitutional.  While I appreciate the President's concern for the safety of our country, I feel that if I do not register my concerns about the unconstitutionality of his actions, I am consenting to this unconstitutional behavior.  I feel strongly that the United States of America has a moral high ground and our government actions should reflect that moral high ground.  I have studied the inaction of the United States of America during World War II, when the Germans used "the final solution" against the Jews.  That inaction was unconscionable.  Not helping refugee Muslims is also unconscionable. If there are legitimate green-carded Muslims who are not allowed into our country because of President Trump's executive action, that blood is on our hands.  I understand that you cannot do much about an executive order, but even if you do a non-bonding resolution that says the elected branch of the government of the United States does not agree with that action, it will be something.  Thank you for your consideration.

If I do not speak up, I am complicit with the official actions of our President who is issuing executive orders that may be unconstitutional.
