COMMUNICATION IS TO CREATE HARMONY NOT CHAOS: IMMIGRATION

The immigration statement written by the President and his Staff was actually quite bland in that it is TEMPORARY FOR NO MORE THAN 90 DAYS.
My grandparents who immigrated from the Pogroms of Russia would have understood that they were going to have to suffer for 90 days more for the safety of the greater whole. They understood what not being safe was all about.
The difficulty when a message is not conveyed in clarity is that it produces the fears of the many and the understanding of the few.
Had the President: 1. given the order to be in place after a 7 day period 2. Or until his Homeland Security Team had been in place to review and present this order 3. Emphasized the real meaning of temporary, 4. Not been inacted as soon as the pen lifted from the paper
The power of the Presidential action would not have become the Chaos it became.
It would be one thing if we were going to war, or if we had a nuclear explosion or some catastrophe but communicating is extremely important. NOT JUST THE MESSAGE BUT THE HOW THE MESSAGE IS TO BE CONVEYED AND WHEN IT WILL BE CONVEYED OR BEGIN AND WHAT IS NEEDED BY THE SENATE TO CONFIRM FOR THE ACTION TO BEGIN MUST BE CLEAR.
TO BUILD HEARTS AND MINDS, IT TAKES TRUST. TRUST IS A STEADY LEADER'S COMMUNICATION.
COMMUNICATION IS AT THE ESSENCE OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE. IT SHOULD BE GUARDED WITH CARE AND UNDERSTAND THE ENORMITY OF ITS IMPACT, FOR TRANSFORMATION TO A HARMONIOUS WORLD, IT BEGINS WITH EACH PERSON'S UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT COMMUNICATING A MESSAGE REALLY IS ALL ABOUT.
