On September 24, 2018, the New York Time published an article by Tung Nguyen and Sherry Hirota titled “Trump’s Next Target: Legal Immigrants”. In the article, Dr. Nguyen,who is a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. and Ms. Hirota, who is a chief executive of Asian Health Services in Oakland, California disagree strongly on the Trump’s administration. President Trump proposed potentially “denying green cards to immigrants who have used any of a much wider range of non-cash public benefits”( September 24,2018). Dr. Nguyen convinces the audiences by using an example of a Chinese child, who came over the active tuberculosis by the community health center’s support.
In my opinion, I agree with the author. The president Trump proposed the rule because he thinks that we are spending too much money taxes on the immigrants who abuse the government’s supports.In fact, they are just using their rights to take care of their health. Who do not want to have a healthy life? Therefore, narrowing the medicaid on the immigrants or denying green cards to immigrants who have used any of a much public benefits is unfair for those people. The rule steps another step to use the fear and cruelty to drive out legal, as well as illegal, immigrants.
Obviously, even though the immigrants are legal or illegal, the administration is a public effort to crack down on the immigrants. It will motivate the political base in time for the middle election. This is a real debate. The country is speaking up for those immigrants and maybe for themselves. If they lose on the debate, they may lost the chances to meet and live with their family. The country was built on hard work, strong families, respect and kindness. Those values dictates that we care for one another, that we know that we are only as strong as the most vulnerable among us.
