I feel like the most damaging thing about Donald Trump’s
rise to power is how none of us can seem to stop talking about him. Every new
outrageous thing he does just fuels the fire and gives him yet another round of
free publicity. Goodness knows I’ve tried to keep from continually posting
about him week after week, and if not about Trump directly then about the fears
his rhetoric have stirred up in the American immigrant community, legal or
otherwise, but I have found it to be virtually impossible. Here, at least, is
something worthwhile that has come out of all this kerfluffle.
I found too many articles to count dealing with the number
of legal residents in the US who have decided to naturalize in order to gain a
voice against Trump—and a measure of safety from him, too, it must be said. I
decided this was the best as it was from a very credible source, but I am a
little saddened that I couldn’t share the one which featured an ad from an
online naturalization service. It featured a featureless drawing of a little
orange man with flyaway yellow hair and the caption: Scared? Don’t Be.
Immigrants Naturalize to Vote
