Introduction:
In this vast garden of politics in the USA, the Democrats and the Republicans are actually essential tools, elements, and substances that help nourish the garden and sustain its growth and maintenance. Democrats, on the subject of a multilayered situation of immigration, can be compared with pruning sheers, which select the best and most professional decisions, attentively nurturing inclusivity in policy and welfare support. On the contrary, Republicans will be understood as fertilizing the planter, whereby the team will promote the prosperity of the nation established through realistic content and cut off ineffective elements.
While the Republicans are like some gigantic machine that spreads out, the Democrats work like pruning shears and, therefore, polish the system and create an atmosphere of equality and support for the needy elements within the society. Meanwhile, Democrats, like pruning shears intricately trimming excessive growth over equitable enhancement, do champion humane and fair sustainable policy alternatives. In light of the fact that it was Obama who was the first US president and said, “Not only are we a nation of immigrants but we are also a nation of laws” (Diffen), It may appear paradoxical to bring these two concepts together, but this statement sums up the Democratic viewpoint. The stress of it all is precisely that: nothing should be at the expense of each other, laws and compassion alike. The ‘gardener’ metaphor is no accident here, shedding light on how the Democratic approach reflects the nurturing of plants. In addition, Democrats believe that immigrant people’s happiness and connection to their families should be the main goals. Senator Harris also argued that immigration is not merely a question of systems or borders but the well-being of human beings who have families. In line with the compassionate approach of pruning shears, which are intended to promote growth and preserve the garden’s integrity and solidity at the same time, the focus on human-centered policies falls in the category of the steps we make to reduce inequality and injustice.
Instead of acting as a manure spreader, Republicans are perceived as a compounder who aims to strengthen the nation’s safety and financial matters through overarching regulations in a very subtle way. Like how fertilizer improves the soil in order to make it a good place for crops to grow, Republicans will be putting into place policies aimed at national security and economic prosperity. As Senator Ted Cruz argued, “We have to keep the fence for the border protection and to stop the illegal flow of immigrants into our country” (Diffen). Moreover, this idea implies how the Republicans always insist on border security measures as well as choosing better immigration processes so that the country can be able to stand tall in the face of external enemies, who are represented by weeds in a garden. Alongside that, Republicans focus on the contribution of law and order to an immigration policy, understanding why it’s essential to deal with things such as illegal immigration that can destabilize the country’s borders and the rule of law (Sanderson et al. 28). It is observable that this security aspect is related to what fertilizers do which is to provide essential nutrients that are needed to support not only health growth but also resilience of plants.
Conclusion:
In the American political garden, the two main parties, Democrats and Republicans, are like the two poles of the compass, both playing an equally important role in crafting legislation and determining the nation’s future direction. One could say that a scissor belongs to the hands of Democrats, whether that is to soften the social gap or worse, they grow faster; on the other hand, the plotter belongs to Republican hands, which is to say is to defend the security and prosperity. I cannot help but take a closer stance on the policies proposed by Democrats because, to me, they are the only existing practical way to build a society of compassion and unity. As a result, the conflicting viewpoints in their majority and the balanced approach to the benefit of all will be the best approach to this problem. In the last analysis, it is the synergy and the understanding that help us to make the walnut trees of democracy that we can nurture for ages to come.
