Deportation, Separation

The news about deportation and separation is difficult, but we need to keep advocating for change

Deportation, Separation

In the past year, Donald Trump's presidency has been nothing, but a bumpy roller coaster. From immediately taking action to get a wall built to attacking people on social media - specifically on Twitter. In my honest opinion, I think it has brought more attention to people around the country that the family separation once deportation is in progress has opened the eyes of many. According to the Department of Homeland Security, approximately 2,000 immigrant children were separated from their parents during April and May.

Recently, Trump was asked to do an executive order to change the family separation in which Trump said that an executive order could not be done! Yet, not too long ago he signed an executive order to not separate families. Not to say that it isn't good that he finally ended family separation, but there are already thousands of children who were separated from their parents that have no idea where their parents are anymore. The people that were excited about the executive order know that? Probably not.

Families deserve to be together especially in situations like this where majority of the children being deported have never visited the country they are being sent to. Hearing the news, it is devastating to hear that people who are protesting are being arrested. People are taking a stand against the Trump Administration and I.C.E. because what is going on is not right and is inhumane. In a new CBS News Poll, approximately 67% of people think that separation of parents and children is unacceptable and 17% think that it is acceptable. When it comes to the political parties in connection to the same poll and question:

90% of Democrats think it is unacceptable

5% of Democrats think it is acceptable

16% of Democrats are indecisive

36% of Republicans think it is acceptable

39% of Republicans think it is unacceptable

but... 66% of Republicans are indecisive

It is INHUMANE TO KEEP FAMILIES APART, WHY PUT PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN THROUGH THE PAIN? Seriously - why put them through that pain if we know that if we were taken away from our parents, not only would we would be devastated, but so will our parents.

Be a voice, advocate for the end of the separation of families. Help the families and speak up!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
