To the editor: I’ve been intently following the latest unrest in Los Angeles and thought Mark Z. Barabak’s column was the very best evaluation of President Trump’s mishandling of the protests towards the ICE raids (“Putting the bully in bully pulpit, Trump escalates in L.A. rather than seeking calm,” June 9).
Barabak so accurately wrote that Trump was “launching an assault on the Structure and the bounds of presidential energy.” When it comes to the 2 topics of the “bully pulpit” and presidential powers, I’m baffled why pundits within the media have but to level out an omission in Trump’s harsh anti-illegal-immigrant agenda. If he’s so hardline towards undocumented migrants who break legal guidelines to come back right here, why hasn’t he used his pulpit and his presidential energy to honor the entire potential immigrants in Mexico and the Central American international locations who’ve gone by way of the fitting channels by obeying the immigration legal guidelines and have been on ready lists for a number of years to come back to the U.S.?
With the stroke of a pen, he may grant them automated inexperienced playing cards and a quick monitor to citizenship for obeying our immigration legal guidelines, which might in impact profit his personal public uncompromising stance towards undocumented immigrants. The underside line is that Trump is ignoring a coverage that may really spotlight his administration’s stance on adhering to authorized immigration.
