Our President Donald Trump has recently made multiple statements on how he is planning to build a wall on the United States and Mexico border and placing bans on certain countries where the dominant religion is Islam. He placed these bans in hope to receive control of the United States immigration, which he wants to stop illegal immigrants who are looking for a better life out of the United States, and to try and stop terrorist acts from making its way onto United States’ soil. These plans are against the idea of the American standard of coming to America to better the individual’s life, just like our descendants who came from other countries to better their lives from economic or political hardships. These ideas are against Immanuel …show more content…
The individual worked hard which means they reached their goal. The counsels of prudence are thought of as a universal goal such as world peace or ending poverty around the world. The categorical imperative refers to individuals not thinking of our actions because they are our basic human instinct. Because of this, the categorical imperative is not based on a motive. It also refers to human beings as self-actualizing individuals. Individuals are to treat other individuals the way they want to be treated because it is their right as a human. An example of this imperative would be if some individual sees another being bullied, their instinct is to stop the bully and comfort the victim to make sure they are okay. Based on these two imperatives, I believe that Kant would not be for President Trump’s ideas on the refugee ban and the wall that separates Mexico and the United States. I do not think that Kant would believe that these ideas are moral to mankind. In To Perpetual Peace there are a few sections that correlate to how President Trump’s decision is not a way to receive perpetual peace. The Civil Constitution of every nation should be republican, refers to principles of freedom, principles of the dependence, and the law of the citizens. Kant says “It accords with the principles of the freedom of the members of a society (as men), second, it accords with the principles of the dependence of everyone on a single, common source of legislation (as
The 45th president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, is a political man who has many ideas to improve the U.S. One of the many idea he had included building a wall between the borders of the United States and Mexico for the “purpose of controlling immigration into America”. According to Trump this wall is supposed to help our country with its national security. In reality though, many people believe that the wall is showing Trumps true colors. Many people are contemplating on the fact if Trump is a racist person who is building the wall because it provides a method of targeting and preventing those who are trying to cross the Mexican-American Border. In reality, Trump only cares about trying to make “America Great Again”, and
Donald Trump is focused primarily on helping Americans; he wants to ensure that Americans have jobs, wages, and security. In order to do so, Trump developed a “10 Point Plan to Put America First.” Trump wants to cease the mass immigration of Mexicans to America in search for work opportunities. If elected president, Trump wants to build a wall on the southern border of the United States, which will keep Mexicans out. Trump wants to make certain that any illegal immigrant is imprisoned and deported immediately. Trump does not tolerate any illegal immigrants in the United States and wants to make sure Americans are “put first.”
These beliefs range from finding and deporting illegal and maybe even legal immigrants to building a wall between the US and Mexican border as a resolution to the immigration issue. According to an article from CNN on the 27th of January 2017, President Trump has signed multiple documents declaring that over 134 million immigrants be unable to enter the United States. The ban applies to seven countries where Muslims are prominent and includes barring immigrants from entering the United States for up to ninety days, however since this may only seem temporary it may just be the beginning of an even longer ban of immigration or worse. Since it has only been a week since President Donald Trump has taken his seat as the President of the United States, he has already performed bold and controversial actions which may only be the tip of the iceberg. “It's unclear how many more countries will be added to the list, but the official said the administration will be "very aggressive" as it weighs how many more countries to add to the list.” (Diamond,
In order for the President to keep such immigrants outside of the U.S., he is propositioning a border wall in which México’s government will have to pay. When Mexico found out about this, not only did they state that they would pay for no such thing, former President Fox made multiple videos stating that they would not pay for anything. Afterwards, Trump took this matter to Congress and is currently trying to get the U.S. government to pay for it. Building a wall with the best technology will not only be expensive, but it will also keep out intelligent people that can positively impact the world. One of President Trump’s goals as the new president is to build a wall near the southern
The issue of immigration is a constant concern for many in the United States and around the world. It connects to the political debate topic of building the wall to prevent Mexican immigrants from entering the country as well as send away the illegal immigrants that are living here as well. According to Renwick & Lee , as President Donald Trump begins his presidency, he has been sharing about how he wants to build a wall on the borders to eliminate any immigrants from entering the USA. This has caused many to feel rejected due to their differences. Also, it has encouraged many citizens to discriminate against
Donald trump's plan on immigration is to deport illegal immigrants. He also wants to build a wall across the southern border of the united states. He believes that mexico should pay for the wall he builds across the border. He thinks this because he believes that mexico has been taking advantage of america by using immigration to export the crime in the country. They Posed books about how to illegally immigrate to the U.S.A.
Trump wants to enforce our immigration laws-to build a wall and end sanctuaires cities, which he calls crap and says they need to be stopped. Stop and end all of it, if they want to come to the U.S, they need to come legally. Welcome those who embrace our way of life, but keep out immigrants and refugees who don’t through rigorous vetting. Trump thinks they are bringing drugs, crime, rapists and problems for us.
6. There are two alternative formulations of the categorical imperative. The first is that an act is right only if the actor would be willing to be so treated if the positions of the parties were reversed. The second is that one must always act so as to treat other people as ends, never merely as a means to an end (a way to accomplish our goals).
Among the presidential candidates for the year 2016, Republican representative Donald Trump seems to have the most ridiculous and controversial campaign ideas. One of his more known campaign ideas has to do with banning Muslims from the United States. He generalized that all Muslims currently, or plan to act as, terrorists who will launch attacks on US soil. Building a wall on the border between US and Mexico is another well known idea of his, especially because he wants Mexico has to pay the cost for the wall’s construction. Even though politicians may paint immigration in a negative light, the United States relies on immigrants to help its economy, so it should not opt to throw them out of the country.
Donald Trump wants to take care of the immigrations. Donald trump wants to build a wall on the border between America and Mexico and make Mexico foot the bill because we are paying to take care of the illegal immigrants so they are going to pay for the wall. Donald is going to send back the illegals and make them come back legally. Donald says “ Illegal immigrants shouldn’t have access to government-subsidized healthcare.” He also says “That muslim terrorist should be banned from entering the country until the
One major problem America is facing is illegal immigration and Donald Trump is going to fix that. A big part of how Trump is going to fix this issue, is by building a wall to prevent illegals from entering the U.S.. Donald Trump said that his proposed wall across the U.S. - Mexico border would be completed within two years (Trump vows Mexico border wall will be built within two years). One reason why we have this problem is because our laws are not strict enough. For many years, Mexico’s leaders have been taking advantage of the United States by using illegal immigration to export the crime and poverty in their own country. They have even published pamphlets on how to illegally immigrate to the United States (Immigration Reform That Will Make America Great Again). In an interview with Fox News, Trump said he will have a 3-pronged attack focusing on securing America’s borders, increasing enforcement of immigration laws, and putting the needs of U.S. citizens first (Trump shares ideas for ‘real immigration reform’).
To determine Donald Trump 's stance on immigration,particularly the construction of a wall on the southern border, it is wise to analyze articles in order to see his thoughts on such as issue. The reasoning behind building an impenetrable wall is to regulate the number of illegal immigrants that cross the American border. He relies on the notion of an excessive amount of illegal immigrants crossing the border detrimental to the economy as well as the security of the American people,
Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative is a theory that basically relays the same message that most mothers teach their kids, and that is to do the right thing. The categorical imperative could be easily explained by the Golden Rule about treating others as you would like to be treated. Kant dives a little deep with his theory, however, and breaks the categorical imperative into three formulations. The first formulation is about essentially removing yourself from a situation and doing what is best for everyone. Kant is basically saying that it is unethical to make decisions that affect everyone, but only benefits you. The second formulation is about making sure that
Immanuel Kant concerns himself with deontology, and as a deontologist, he believes that the rightness of an action depends in part on things other than the goodness of its consequences, and so, actions should be judged based on an intrinsic moral law that says whether the action is right or wrong – period. Kant introduced the Categorical Imperative which is the central philosophy of his theory of morality, and an understandable approach to this moral law. It is divided into three formulations. The first formulation of Kant’s Categorical Imperative states that one should “always act in such a way that the maxim of your action can be willed as a universal law of humanity”; an act is either right or wrong based on its ability to be
The categorical imperative suggests that a course of action must be followed because of its rightness and necessity. The course of action taken can also be reasoned by its ability to be seen as a universal law. Universal laws have been deemed as unconditional commands that are binding to everyone at all times. Kant
