If you work hard and play by the rules, you will move up. That is the gist of the American dream. In Donald Trump’s view, however, hundreds of thousands of “Dreamers” who arrived as undocumented children were breaking the rules. Roughly two-thirds of Americans disagree, including virtually every business leader of note and many leading Republicans. If Congress fails to protect the Dreamers, President Trump can blame them. The buck never stops at Mr Trump’s desk.
只要你努力工作,遵守规则,就可以过上更好的生活。这是美国梦的精髓。然而,在唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)看来,无数“梦想者”——童年时期非法进入美国的移民——违反了规则。约三分之二的美国人不这样认为,其中包括几乎所有知名商业领袖和许多共和党要人。如果国会未能保护这些“梦想者”,特朗普可以归咎于他们。反正特朗普是永远不会让皮球停在自己面前的。
