Outline: “I’m a Canadian, And I’m Applying for US Citizenship”
THESIS: Before the 2016: 2024 – Do my homework – Help write my assignment online election, America made great progress in regards to diversity. With Trump becoming president, we have regressed – as he has advocated for white supremacist to express their feelings on racism, hatred toward immigrants, and their superiority amongst other racial groups in America.
I. Due to Donald Trump’s campaign promises, he fueled many nationalists to be vocal with their views and is accountable for racist violence from his supporters.
A. White supremacist have hosted at least 40-50 rallies over the last year, which all usually result in violence toward Anti-Trump supporters.
B. White nationalists like Richard Spencer, speak publicly in regards to belittling other races, and how white supremacy will arise with a leader who supports it. (State of Emergency Declared Ahead of White Supremacist Speech in Florida. CNNNews. Eric Levenson. Oct 2017)
C. While I’m sure white supremacy and it’s supporters never died down, many citizens are taken back on how bad things have gotten since Trump has taken office.
II. Many immigrants fear being taken away from their families, and a better life as Trump continuously threatens deportation of immigrants.
A. Trump ran a major part of his campaign focusing on building a “wall” on the Mexico border preventing many Mexicans from traveling to the US.
B. Also, enforcing a strict travel ban that kept refugees from entering the US for at least 120 days (primarily those from predominantly Muslim nations). Mr. Trump has even publicly said “We don’t want them here” at a signing ceremony at the Pentagon. (NY Times. Trump Bars Refugees and Citizens of 7 Muslim Countries. Michael Shear. Jan 2017)
III. As Kachroo-Levine described in her essay, many people are very hesitant now to continue their process of citizenship under the oath of President Trump. Even citizens of the US have suggested moving to surrounding countries to avoid being under the Trump era.
A. Many citizens since the election fear for their safety and their security. With all the violence that has arisen, especially in southern states, many are unsure how to remain positive during Trump’s presidency.
B. In this time of such hatred and disgust, many citizens are using this time to appreciate the diversity this country does have, and how we can stand as a whole against such groups who do not agree.

Outline: I’m a Canadian and I’m Applying for U.S. Citizenship
THESIS: Trump’s hateful and racist rhetoric has fueled white nationalist groups, increased racial-based violence, and threatened potential citizenship for immigrants from countries perceived to be dangerous.
White nationalist groups have gained momentum and membership due to Trump’s hate speech and anti-immigration sentiment.
Watching a public figure get away with this kind of hate speech, to the point of it being celebrated, has encouraged white nationalists to assemble at an alarming rate.
Richard Spencer, white supremacist and leader of the National Policy Institute: “We’ve been legitimized by this election,” he says. While the campaign itself was a huge boost to the movement, Trump’s election, he says, has brought the Alt-Right to “a new level.” (Posner)
White nationalism was already on the rise during Obama’s presidency, Trump merely emboldened them.
Trump’s blatant racism and outspoken hate speech has made the U.S. an increasingly unsafe place for people of color, especially immigrants.
The increase of hate groups in America since the Obama administration directly correlates with the escalation of race-based hate crimes.
“Hate crimes in nine U.S. metropolitan areas rose more than 20 percent last year, fueled by inflamed passions during the presidential campaign and more willingness for victims to step forward” (Reuters).
FBI statistics show that hate crimes against Muslims grew by 67 percent in 2015 – Research Paper Writing Help Service, the year in which Trump launched his campaign. (Southern Poverty Law Center)
Executive order 13769, known as the Muslim Ban, was issued January 27, 2017, and superseded on March 16, 2017. Although it is no longer in effect, Muslim travelers are still facing residual consequences.
In addition to the dangers faced by the rise in hate crimes, many of society’s most vulnerable immigrant groups now face the threat of deportation.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was rescinded by the Trump administration in September 2017. DACA allowed undocumented immigrants who entered the United States to gain a work permit and a renewable deferred action from deportation. Those immigrants who are protected under DACA are currently unsure of their future in this country.
Hate crimes and immigration are inextricably linked because of white nationalists, as can be seen in this quote regarding imagined concern about white Americans losing their “majority” status: Regnery says Trump has made it more acceptable to talk about “white dispossession,” bringing it into the national conversation. (Posner)
Although America is lauded as a “melting pot”, many groups have differing opinions on who does or does not belong.
Trump’s election to office has undeniably caused an increase in racism, white nationalism, and hate crimes.
Kachroo-Levine explains her fears while Trump is in power: “Conceivably, in the Trump era, I could be stopped in the street as a nonwhite person and asked to produce proof of residency,” (Kachroo-Levine).
A poll conducted by Gallup reveals that only 35% of the U.S. population wants immigration to be decreased: “Though preventing illegal immigration was one of the president’s key campaign promises, the general desire to decrease immigration is near its historic low in Gallup’s trend over more than half a century.” (McCarthy).
