President Trump

If you have to build a wall to help some disadvantaged Latin Americans understand that they don't have to live in the United States to have good lives, then please do so, in a way that is as environmentally sound as possible.  Can you meet with some ecologically minded people and ask them what the best scenario for that would be?  Maybe that will help to break the deadlock with your opposition.

As far as I'm concerned, you can also put signs on that wall that say "Dear Latin Americans, Why the hell do you want to clean U.S. toilets, sweep and mop U.S. floors, clean U.S. hotel rooms, work in U.S. kitchens, and take care of other people's children when you can be the architects of the economic development and prosperity of your own countries?  Do you know how frickin' cold it is in many of the U.S. cities where you'll be doing the most menial work for other people, as second-class citizens or perpetually jumpy non-citizens, for years or the rest of your lives?"

I still think that sending out electronic information through every available means that deglamorizes immigration to the United States and that educates Latin Americans about their other options would be helpful.  Persuasion is always a more effective, long-term tactic than intimidation.  Also, as long as you're being portrayed as the Anti-Immigration Ogre, rather than as someone who wants to implement positive change, you will be a symbol of oppression which will encourage the perception of illegal immigrants as being particularly courageous rather than as being merely out of ideas.

Thank you for confronting the government of Venezuela.  Greed which causes the starvation of other people is criminal greed and there is no excuse for it.
