Op-Ed by Catherine J. Frompovich

As someone who believes in fairness and facts, I think there’s something that ought to be pointed out regarding the intense agita that’s going on in the United States after the Trump inauguration, and especially since President Trump’s Presidential Executive Order (PEO) regarding certain people coming into the USA.

I can’t go more deeply or further—I have to make this a quick Op Ed, as I’m in the process of writing a Respondent’s Brief to answer the electric utility PECO’s Brief regarding the Administrative Law Court hearing I had November 2 and 3, 2016 regarding my refusing an AMI Smart Meter.

However, please take the time to watch, and thoughtfully process, what Thomas Sotomayor says after the media clips exposing President Bill Clinton’s and President Barack Obama’s almost exact, if not more so, remarks regarding immigration and protecting the homeland.

However, there is the U.S. Code of Laws and in 8 U.S. Code § 1182 – Inadmissible Aliens, it states,

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

In reality, President Trump is UPHOLDING the U.S. laws regarding aliens even though many may not agree with his findings.

Personally, I think civics classes and courses should be mandated for all students at every grade level up to graduation so that we, as a country, can have well informed activists, voters and citizens, not fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants reactionaries who are manipulated by a propagandizing press, in my opinion.

I hope this can help to bring some sense of reasoning as to why there should be more and better tolerance among political parties and their constituents, specifically those who have lost what they thought was ‘due’ them, because political tolerance has been the real American way.
