The tweet claimed to explain why Bush likes "Mexican illegals"
From the Confederation flag protection to racially charged- attitude, the conservatives have been blamed more than liberals. On the conservative side, there is a silent majority who does express their positive attitude by condemning racism or any form of bigotry. Donald Trump has given an opportunity to Conservatives to take a stand against his comments we characterize as bigotry. Donald Trump latest comment accuses Jeb Bush, a 2016 presidential candidate, for supporting Mexican illegal immigrant because of his wife is a Hispanic. This argument assumes Jeb Bush is incapable of developing an objective judgment, and that his position on the issue of immigration is mostly influenced by the fabric of his multi-cultural marriage. Trump’s loaded-comments are calling illegal Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists exemplify racial a discrimination attitude. This kind of attitude demonstrates the lack of respect to a person. Even if we assume that all Mexican-immigrants living in the United States were illegal, they still deserve not to be treated as criminals because we have to blame the ineffectiveness of our immigration system. If we call them, criminals rapists or killers, we are expressing a moral condemnation of the action they are not entirely responsible. Some people could go too far in their discriminatory attitude by calling them the animals, and that is normative statement and not descriptive one. Rosenstand says," However, criminals, even convicted ones, don't lose all their rights: There personhood status is not revoked, at least not in our culture. They still have the right not to be tortured ...)"(Rosenstand,2013,p.324). Donald Trump must understand that illegal immigrants' personhood status is not revoked he has to learn how to address the issue of immigration without a discriminatory or racial attitude.
