President Donald Trump has delayed the release of his updated Muslim Travel Ban. The original ban was stopped by an United States Court of Appeal. It was unconstitutional because it discriminated against those who were Muslim. No pretty words could change that. It affected all who had visa's and those who not started the visa process. This ban also affected those with "Green Cards"or legal permanent residence. His attempt to change and stream line his ban might or might not help him. Only he knows what his ultimate goal is. Trust when lost is hard and often impossible to regain.
I've heard arguments on both sides of the fence for and against the Muslim travel ban. This reminds me of the lesson that I gave my son on lies hidden under pretty words. I took him to a park that had a large population of ducks from domestic to wild. We sat on a park bench describing the birds we saw without using the word "Duck."After about 30 minutes, my son looked at me and asked if we could play another game. He stated that the words we used did not change the fact that all the birds in front of us were ducks. I smiled and told him that he had learned a lesson that many adults had not learned.
Pretty words can not change the truth.
