The GOP caters to the religious right.

For 2017, Trump administration cut the “quota” on refugees by more than 50% to 50,000, which is about 1/100th of one percent of the US population (324,420,000). This shamefully low number is now at the lowest point in recent memory. Note that the US population is 14.3% immigrant, about 46 million.

The majority (7 of 9) of refugee resettlement program services in the US are provided by faith-based organizations (http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2017/02/13/514966051/for-refugees-and-advocates-trump-immigration-order-stay-leads-to-disarray).

Now these faith-based organizations have had to lay off staff due to Trump’s cuts.

So how is the GOP catering to the religious right?

Bonus question: How does this make America great again?

All of Trump’s “policies” (a generous label since it assumes a thought process) appear to be merely solutions in search of a problem.

No law is enforced 100%.

It’s not helpful, necessary, or sane to enforce immigration law 100%.

But if we must have 100% enforcement, how about of these laws instead?

antitrust laws
discrimination laws
ethics laws
pollution laws
tax laws
traffic laws

The Trump administration is demonstrably on the wrong side of history on just about every issue it has touched. But I alone do not have to judge Trump and his ilk. History will be his judge, and he will certainly be both a bottom quartile POTUS and the worst in my lifetime (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_presidents_of_the_United_States).

As to what is right and what is wrong. I submit that it is quite easy to tell. Just ask your mother. As it says on the home page of the Clocktower Law website, “We do not, however, represent patent trolls, trademark bullies, or cybersquatters.” When representing clients, it is easy to tell the good apples from the bad eggs.

I am reminded of the Valediction of Professor Gregory, whose influence on my life is reflected in how I run my firm, and who said, “Look at reality with a cold, hard, steely-eyed gaze. Lawyers get bad reputations by distorting reality. If you feel yourself losing sight of reality, fear not. I have the solution: Ask you mother.”

Vigilance, my friends.
