From
the City of Brotherly Love in an already divisive year
The
mayor spouts off with over the top rhetoric most us do not want to hear
James
Kenney proves the adage of penny wise pound foolish
Attacks
Trump as a bully and a punk and on ending TPS downright peevish
Not
to be in bards undone
Rails
against Trump’s for doing a lousy job of raising their son
Rhetoric
that is guaranteed for the listener tune the speaker out
Obstacles
to any rational discourse on the solution to quickly mount
After
Haiti was devastated by an earthquake in 2010 and over 300,000 died
TPS
was granted to almost 60,000 refugees and now Trump has an extension denied
Like
any welfare or entitlement program started, TPS seems impossible to end
But
temporary is temporary and after seven years Trump is bucking the an entitlement
program never ends
Some
of the refugees may have jobs others may not
Information
on crimes that had been committed is now belatedly being sought
It
is a tough call especially if while here, the refugees added links to the chain
A
spouse, a child or two, impassioned pleas to protect them from the hardship of
feeling the pain
Tough
call but I suspect that the best and brightest we did not receive
Better
to have increased aid so Haiti could faster rebuilding achieve
