U.S. Decides 2024

It’s true that America was built by immigrants, and almost everyone in the US has immigrant roots. But Trump’s stance resonates with those who feel that the country’s founders and their descendants deserve a priority. He’s been consistent about that, and his supporters see it as him protecting the legacy of those who fought for America.

There’s also the concern that America is in a bit of an identity crisis, with waves of immigration leading to what some see as a “re-colonization.” China’s rise as a world superpower is becoming a big issue, and people are worried that if America loses its strength, China will surpass it by 2030. Sure, America has its flaws, but many believe it’s better for global stability if America–an imperfect but democratic country–remains the top power, rather than China, with its authoritarian model.

Trump may have his flaws, but he’s clear on his intentions to contain China and to protect Israel’s position in the Middle East. Many see these as key moves that could keep the world more balanced than if policies are swayed by the large immigrant population’s interests.

If it were up to me, I’d say “Yes” to Trump. Kamala Harris seems more focused on advocating for immigrant rights than on tackling issues like the threat of China or ensuring global stability. And let’s face it, open-border policies from the Democrats haven’t exactly left America safer. Those policies have made the U.S. a kind of safe haven, which can attract all sorts of people and potential risks which threatens the world peace.

This isn’t about gender bias or immigrants; it’s about the trajectory of the world today and what a Trump presidency could achieve globally. Biden and Harris have struggled in the role of superpower, as seen in their handling of the Russia–Ukraine war, the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, the escalating crisis in the Middle East, and the U.S.’s increasingly porous border, which seems to welcome everyone. A Trump victory would feel like a relief–a return to stronger, more decisive leadership on the world stage, rather than the subjective inclination of the immigrant and other emigrants.
