Current Event #1: Donald Not-So-Triumphant Trump In this article, Kate Linthicum reports on a letter sent in to CNN that discusses the differing views on immigration. In a recent debate, U.S presidency candidates, Donald Trump, made it clear that he is very much against immigration. In fact, Trump even vows that if voters elect him for 2016-20 president, his main focus will be to cut down immigration from Mexico.

However, tearing away a illegal-immigrant-born person’s U.S citizenship is both unreasonable and inhumane. How would he feel if the he was suddenly torn away from everything he’s built in the U.S, kicked out of the only country he’s known, and relocated to one that he’s unadjusted to as a result of some new law claiming that he’s no longer a part of the country that he’s been born and raised in? I feel like Trump is throwing out ideas that sound good,
