What happens tomorrow if
Vladimir Putin, who has been guilty of aggression in Georgia, as well
as Ukraine, decides to pick a Baltic country next? So the uncertainty created by President Trump's statement on NATO is
one that haunts us to this moment. But the one that is really overwhelming over the last few days is
President Trump's Executive order when it came to refugees and
immigration. The story of refugees in the United States does not have a
good start. Going back to World War II, a man named Breckinridge Long
was in charge of immigration into the United States during that war. He
worked in the administration of Franklin Roosevelt. Sadly, his view on
refugees was harsh, and as a result, the United States was caught up
many times denying access to the safety of the United States to people
who were vulnerable to persecution and genocide. The most noteworthy
example was the
SS St. Louis in 1939, which brought 900 people from Nazi Germany to the
United States to escape the Holocaust.
