Rather than denying American citizens opportunity, political power, and national security via twisted immigration proposals, U.S. leaders need to address foreign competition through means that do not negatively affect America’s native-born dreamers. Leaders need to shore up here at home with a multigenerational plan to solidify representation of descendants of slaves and other Americans into the upper socioeconomic class, in positions of policy formation, national security, and thought leadership of research and development.
Legislators are waging an immigration charm offensive that will end in chaos for the descendants of slaves, working class Americans and U.S.-born STEM professionals. I’m deeply concerned that, for fear of being called xenophobic, my fellow Americans will remain silent until the damage is obvious but irreparable.
