The newly chosen U.S. president, Donald Trump, said that he will deport 3 million illegal immigrants immediately upon taking oath or imprison them.

It is amazing that 3 million individuals should be residing illegally in a country such as the U.S., where everything is so well documented. How did the administrations in power up to now tolerate having such a large number of illegal immigrants? On the one hand, vigilance is so high that even ministers and generals of foreign countries are made to remove their shoes while being searched; on the other hand, there is such laxity that 3 million individuals managed to enter the U.S. illegally. Perhaps the residents of some of the foreign countries did not enter the U.S., but entered Trump’s heart and mind.

If people are, in fact, living illegally in the U.S., then it is better to provide them legal status instead of throwing them in jail. Just like Trump’s statements during the presidential election campaign, this statement calling for the deportation of 3 million illegal immigrants also reflects his ill-considered views, which make him unworthy of being the president of a super power. It is because he expresses ill-considered views in this manner that demonstrations are taking place in the U.S. against Trump, protests which may create severe problems for him.


ٹرمپ کی طرف سے بدستور غیر سنجیدہ رویئے کا اظہار

امریکی نومنتخب صدر ڈونلڈ ٹرمپ نے کہا ہے کہ وہ حلف اٹھاتے ہی 30 لاکھ غیرقانونی تارکین وطن کو ملک بدر کر دیں گے یا جیل میں ڈال دیں گے۔
امریکہ جیسے ملک میں جہاں ہر چیز ڈاکومنٹڈ ہے‘ تیس لاکھ افراد کا غیرقانونی طریقے سے مقیم ہونا حیران کن ہے۔ آج تک کی حکومتیں اتنے لوگوں کو کیسے برداشت کرتی رہیں جو غیر قانونی طورپر امریکہ میں داخل ہو گئے۔ ایک طرف یہ صورتحال کہ غیرملکی وزراء اور جرنیلوں تک کی جوتے اتروا کر تلاشی لی جاتی ہے اور دوسری طرف اتنی ڈھیل کہ تیس لاکھ افرد غیرقانونی طورپر امریکہ میں گھس گئے۔ لگتا ہے کچھ ممالک کے لوگ امریکہ میں غیرقانونی طورپر نہیں گھسے‘ ٹرمپ کے دل و دماغ میں گھس گئے ہیں۔ اگر واقعی وہاں کوئی غیرقانونی طورپر مقیم ہے تو اسے جیل میں ڈالنے سے بہتر ہے اس کے قیام کو قانونی حیثیت دیدی جائے۔ انتخابی مہم کی طرح ٹرمپ کا یہ بیان بھی غیر سنجیدہ رویئے کا عکاس ہے جو سپر پاور کے صدر کو زیب نہیں دیتا۔ ٹرمپ کے اسی رویئے کے باعث امریکہ میں ان کے خلاف مظاہرے ہو رہے ہیں جو ان کیلئے شدید مشکلات کا باعث بن سکتے ہیں۔
