Dear Mr. Trump,
There you go again, Sir, ranting and raving about immigrants. When the country needs people who want to work hard, you want to keep them out. When the country needs diversity, you want to make us all-White, all-Christian, all-straight, all-xenophobic, all-concealed-carry.
You complain that the Democrats have ruined the chances for the Dreamers, but it was you, Sir, who tried to end the DACA program, not the Democrats. Then you lied when you said you’d accept any bill that Congress offered to you to solve the problem, only to quickly renege when the Tea Party people you suck up to told you to reject a bipartisan proposal. Then you posit DACA as the reason why people still want to come to America, not understanding that DACA couldn’t possibly apply to them.
It is hard to imagine how someone so ill-informed as you are, Sir, could occupy the White House. It’s even harder to accept that so many spineless Republicans still say they support you, caring nothing about honesty, decency, intelligence, or judgment. You’ve brought to Washington a group of Know-Nothings, intent upon destroying the agencies that you’ve put under their direction, regardless of the harm that causes to the American people, to our environment, to our healthy, to our basic liberties.
We will survive this horrendous episode in the life of our country only by the determination of the people to stand up to you and your kind, Sir. Go play with your toy soldiers. You’re the April fool.
Very truly yours,
Bruce J. Berger
