A Decision has to be made, my line in the sand

After seeing what happened to a pleasant Australian author and a Holocaust survivor, I'm deciding to halt talks with any US publishing houses unless something can be worked out. I'm sorry to say, but I don't want to sound bad, but I find what happened to be unacceptable and I would not feel comfortable with something happening to me like that in their countries because of what happened to them.

I will however continue work on my book, but I am very much not going to talk to anyone from the US publishing agencies until we figure out how to combat something like that. I am sorry, but my personal politics is that I do not agree with Trump or his supporters who want to deport all foreigners out of the US period, that's just wrong.

Truthfully, I believe part of my family is from England and  Germany and my family are immigrants from the 1890s, not a fair assumption to state that my family is bad because of their heritage either. We are all immigrants in one form or another, the US is in such horrible state at the moment, I don't see how any writers can get anything written without harsh criticisms or horrible name calling.
