With his second term underway, President Donald Trump has already taken bold steps to put America first and bring back the American dream that makes our country so prosperous. I lived the American dream here in Texas. My family immigrated legally to the United States when I was 6 years old, and I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley, surrounded by the kinds of hardworking American families who make our country great. However, through the years, I’ve witnessed the promise of the American dream wilt away due to mismanagement and careless decision-making from elites in Washington.
Trump is right to reexamine our country’s ballooning bureaucracy and make much-needed reforms to ensure our taxpayer dollars are used wisely in service of programs that prioritize people’s safety and well-being rather than partisan issues. I hope he will undertake this same process to make sure U.S. international assistance continues to serve the interests of Americans.
