The problem was that innocent, loving, and hardworking
people are being deported, sometimes by mistake.
The solution is to stop with having such a huge campaign
that centers around deporting people. If someone needs to be deported, than so
be it. If they’re not causing nay trouble and are making an effort to live a
better life. And so, we shall create a campaign that gives people better
options in this country. Through us, we can help them get back home if they
must, and we can help them work towards citizenship or with any troubles that
they might be having.
i'm not usually this political, none of my past ideas have been very good :(
Hello Danny, first I want to say that I really think a solution to the problem you chose to address is necessary. Secondly, I do think that your campaign approach can be a great step towed a solution. However, I do think that you should think about each step creating such a campaign with more detail. I’m sure you will succeed.
ReplyDeleteHey Danny! I definitely agree that the entire outlook of the current administration to deport as many people as possible (from specific regions) is wrong, and on top of being wrong would undermine the economy. However, I'm not sure if there is a specific product or service that can be created from this problem/opportunity, besides maybe creating a law firm specifically for deportation law (but those already exist, so you'd have to make on that's better than others). I like your idea of creating a campaign, but how would you combat the current anti-immigration campaign, white nationalism, fear-mongering, and xenophobia? Maybe there is a specific service (or campaign) you can create that could focus more on helping people understand immigrants' struggles and their stories on why they came to America, to help combat the xenophobic aspect of the Trump administration rather than just creating another deportation law firm. You can go in either direction if you want, but I think a more artistic approach (or even both approaches synthesized) could be really impactful, especially if you take advantage of social media. My great aunt lives in Kansas and is low-key racist, and I overheard her say to my grandma at Thanksgiving, "I thought he was only going to deport the bad guys!" as if U.S. immigration law wasn't already tight. I think a huge problem is misinformation, and my great aunt kind of showed me this when she said that. She didn't know anything about immigration law (I did- I was an intern as DHS in Orlando in high school), but she assumed based on her racist predisposition and lack of interaction with anyone who isn't white, that she has no idea who the people are who are being deported or their reasons for coming here. So maybe seeing a video or an interview as part of a campaign would've changed her mind. Great post!
