President Donald Trump 's Presidential Campaign

The 2016 presidential election brought up numerous problems that a majority of Americans wanted fixed. One topic that the candidates brought up was immigration policies.However, not everyone agreed with how these problems should be resolved, which caused much debate. Both nominees had completely different solutions to the situation. People come across the border for three reasons “1) There are those trying to get to America to better their lives... 2) Drug traffickers and human smugglers... 3) People coming over our southern border from the Middle East,” (Joy, 2017). After Donald J Trump became president, he “signed an executive order, “Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements,” which includes costly plans to further

Donald Trump, the recently elected 45th president of the United States, gave two different answers when he was asked for his thoughts on immigration and the road to citizenship. While being interviewed in June of 2012 by CNBC, In response to the tough immigration law passed by the state of Arizona a day before, Trump said that he understood the undocumented immigrants and how hard they have worked to become exemplary people and that he does not believe that they should be sent out of the country. However, in June of 2015 when Trump initiated his presidential campaign by responding quite the opposite by stating that Mexico does not sent their best people, instead they sent their rapists and criminals, he also said that all undocumented immigrants on the road to citizenship would have

After a crushing defeat in Tuesday 's Indiana primary, Texas Senator Ted Cruz ended his presidential bid, clearing the way for GOP front-runner to become the presumptive nominee.

For the past few decades, illegal immigration has been one of the most controversial topics in American politics. Everyone seems to have something to say on the matter. Consequently, it is no surprise that with the upcoming Presidential election, illegal immigration, particularly as it relates to illegal Mexican immigrants, is at the forefront. The simple truth is, America is a nation of immigrants. It always has been. Admittedly, the U.S. has the right and duty to control entry to and exit from its borders. However, mass deportations and immigration bans are not the answer. The United States must strike a balance between deterring illegal activities and the draining of social resources and remaining true to fabric of this nation and the continued

This is evident in many of president Trumps speeches especially on the campaign trail such this one "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best, They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime.

The issue of illegal immigration has daunted this nation for many years. Currently, there are 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States. Immigration reform is necessary, but amnesty is not. Last year, the United States Senate passed the ‘Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act’ by a vote of 68-32. If this bill becomes law, America will still not have fixed it’s illegal immigration issue. There are many flaws to the current immigration bill in Congress, such as the fiscal costs to taxpayers, government spending, and “border triggers”. A few commonsense fixes to improve our nation’s immigration dilemma are

Allow me to describe to you the travesty of our nation’s affairs for immigration. Within the past year, countless of men have trespassed into our nation for habitation. Criminal in behavior, these vagrants seek to attain the rights that are granted by our glorious nation to law-abiding citizens, by circumventing the law. May I implore you to realize that, while we reside in a nation of immigrants, our immigration stories do not consist of delinquency and theft. I cannot fathom a United States which does not act as a beacon of hope to people wishing to migrate for a better life, yet we cannot be the light to these potential citizens if our nation becomes tarnished by the presence of these criminals who steal the chance of the American dream

Donald Trump’s signature topic during his presidential campaign has been illegal immigration. He has generated headlines and controversial remarks during his plans for change. In 2015, when he announced he was running for president, Donald Trump claimed Mexico was sending all their rapist and violent criminals into the U.S. (Gabbatt, 2015). He also called for the deportation of an estimated eleven million illegal immigrants.

As the issue of undocumented immigrants once again dominates the news headlines, our politicians are faced with the difficult task of enforcing the laws of our land, yet humanely and ethically tending to those who illegally reside within America 's borders. As the political parties face off with differing ideologies, the undocumented, who are seen as victims from one side and criminals from the other, are caught in this citizenship purgatory until a political compromise can be achieved. Until such a compromise occurs, the nation is left dealing with the fallout of this population’s existence. Not belonging, they are left to fend for themselves while living in the shadows. Surviving through government assistance or using a stolen identity as a means to gain employment, the undocumented struggle to survive in a nation that is aware of their existence yet chooses to do nothing about it. To address the illegal immigration epidemic in the United States, its leaders must hold all lawbreakers accountable while compassionately and ethically addressing the issue through a balanced approach of amnesty and deportation.

Immigration, in general, sparks up a debate, especially now with our new president Donald Trump. His strong sentiments towards irregular immigrants specifically Mexicans made a lot of citizens and non-citizens curious about his future policies. One of his biggest promises during the campaign was to deport 11 million immigrants and later changed

This year’s presidential election is is being referred to as one that will be historic. While the 2016 presidential campaign has in fact caused social and political disagreement, each candidate beginning and remaining candidate in the presidential race brought forth issues in our nation for table discussion. One of the most debated topics during the primary elections and caucus season was the issue of immigrants and illegal immigration. During this time, current Republican front runner Donald Trump declared accusations towards the Mexican and Hispanic community as being part of the American downfall. While making vulgar remarks earned the GOP candidate publicity and support from anti-immigration reform holders, Trump’s remarks also brought forth the argument into the light.

Within the United States, there has not been a president to solve the issue of immigration reform. This has been a problem for conservatives and liberals in politics. Throughout the 2016 election, the question of immigration reform was posed from both the republican and democratic candidates running for president. The candidate that brought up this significant issue during their campaign was, Donald Trump. Now, a year after being president, the issue of immigration is more crucial than ever before. Since taking office, Trump has taken steps to crack down on undocumented immigrants by ending programs such as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and giving more power to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. (Andrea Gonzalez-Ramirez).

Today, tThe visible number of unauthorized immigrants today in the US points to the fact that US immigration laws are outdated and inadequate to meet the 21st century needs of the nation in the 21st century. In American politics, Iimmigration reform has largely remained as a “valence” issue in American politics. Often, Tthe issue of immigration reform has often been overshadowed by other events from foreign wars, and national security threats to and the Great Recession that trickled down the in the US economy. Moreover, the hostile environment of partisan politics further impeded impedes comprehensive reform in the “broken” US immigration system. In the primetime address, President Obama expressed the dire need of Comprehensive

For quite a long time U.S. immigration policy and the current illegal immigration crisis has been one reason for political debates among democrats and republicans, as policymakers address problems related to U.S. labor demand and border security.

Although the issue of immigration policy has been at the center of political debates, largely discussed in the media and newspapers, no one has yet found a solution to this ill-defined problem, that would comply with the America’s core values. While I think the immigration policy does need a reform, the solution to this problem certainly is not a deportation of all undocumented residents.
