I am so disgusted. There literally is NOTHING that he has done in the past 6 weeks that I think will help the country. Now they are going to revoke legal status from Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans, and people from Nicaragua. I currently have a student from Haiti. She came here a few months ago and could barely speak English. She now is doing so well. I asked her yesterday if she was taking English lessons outside of school since she had improved so much. She said she was. She is a lovely young lady and I'm so proud of her. The thought of her being deported because Trump is a racist makes me sick. They are going to kick out people who entered the country LEGALLY seeking asylum. This is under a president who thinks "asylum" means that they came from mental hospitals. He is so stupid. His MAGAts are too because they blindly believe what he says. And we have this all because we couldn't have a black woman in the White House. I can't wait for him to gut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Enjoy it racists!

I read that news and understand why you're upset with this. I feel bad about it too even if I don't live in the US. Imagine they have legal migrant status, which means they have the right to live in the US, but it's going to be taken away from them just like that. I really don't understand how Trump's mind works... and why in this day and age is this even acceptable.

His mind doesn't work and the only reason this is acceptable there is because too many of the residents have the same lack of reason.

There is an article circulating online where Steve Bannon says Trump will run again and win in 2028. My head exploded when I read it. He seemed serious which would mean the Constitution would have to be changed for it to be possible. I think all politics is crazy lately.

I hear you, and it’s really upsetting. People who legally, worked hard, and are trying to build a better life shouldn’t have to live in fear. Your student’s progress is amazing, and it’s heartbreaking to think of her and so many others facing deportation.
