The Immigration Issue Of The United States

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

If the idea of our president willingly destroying families isn’t enough to change one’s mind, lets look at the facts, or lack thereof, within his policy presentation. One of the great claims made throughout the Trump campaign is that the Mexican immigrants coming in were all “rapists and criminals”. He was even quoted in a debate saying " We have gangs roaming the street. And in many cases, they 're illegally here, illegal immigrants. And they have guns. And they shoot people. And we have to be very strong. And we have to be very vigilant." He has put a dialogue into the heads of his supporters that lacks truth whatsoever. No matter how the data is sliced, immigrants have shown to commit

U.S. immigration policy has always been an important topic debated by Presidential candidates for decades. Immigration reform has been ignored by Congress, leaving decisions up to the President and Supreme Court. In the meantime, the hopes of about eleven million illegal immigrants in the U.S., as well as future rules for legal immigration, rest on the shoulders of those decision makers. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump both agree that changes to U.S. immigration policy are needed; however, Donald Trump is taking a radical approach suggesting mass deportation and completely revamping U.S. immigration policy, whereas, Hillary Clinton is overlooking some issues and wants to continue to support the policy set forth by the Obama Administration. Regardless of who becomes President, they will have a hard time getting these issues passed through Congress.

Donald Trump is the kind of person who doesn’t even think before he speaks and feel as if he has the authority to say whatever pleases him. He speaks negatively about immigrants calling them criminals, rapists, and killers. In addition to this, he called his followers passionate after he was told that two men beat a Hispanic man in his name. However, not only is he blaming Mexicans for violent crimes, he is blaming Blacks as well and being antagonistic toward the Black Lives Matter Movement.

Undocumented families and individuals are a key to America’s working economy. President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential election was well known for his thoughts about illegal immigration where he believes those who are not in America legally, should go back to where they came from. Illegal immigration has been happening for over generations where undocumented immigrants want a better life than they had in their previous country. Without illegal immigrants, our nation wouldn't be where it is without them, therefore, it is essential that they should not be deported back to their country.

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.

An issue that has continued to grow in importance in America is the issue of immigration. While it started back in the early years of our country with the Founding Fathers disapproving of immigration, it has become more apparent as a result of recent events. One major example of the recent events is the election of President Donald J. Trump. His election marks a drastic change in the goals of the United States. Trump’s predecessor, President Barack Obama, worked toward a more open and accessible country where people of all religions and beliefs can reside. Our newly elected president has a different view of other countries and the citizens that inhabit them. One popular example of his differing view of other countries is his opinion of Mexico and immigrants from there. He is quoted in saying “they’re rapists” (Gatehouse and Campbell 32) when referring to the Mexican people that has crossed the Mexican-American border. He is also well known for his plan to create a physical wall along the Mexican-American border to prevent further illegal immigration. In fact, originating from before Trump’s presidency, police officers can check the citizenship

The Hispanic population in the United States has increased throughout the years, but so has the racism. Sad to say that many other races don’t like the fact that more Hispanics are migrating all over the United States. Donald Trump our 45th president of the United States has created more racism with his statements towards Hispanics. In the article from “The Washington Post” by Michelle Ye Hee Lee, mentions that there been many violent rallies with many people getting hurt, as well as many protest around the United States due to these words from president trump “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. 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. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people”.

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

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.

Due to the economic benefits of immigrant labor, the dangers of central American countries, and the basic human rights of noncitizens, the US government must grant amnesty to undocumented immigrants. Illegal immigration has become a rising issue in the US over the past few years, and it will continue to heat up coming into this year 's presidential election. This issue is also very present in the local community due to it’s diversity and large Hispanic population. Generally, many people are sharply opposed to undocumented immigrants including some of the current front runners in the United States presidential race. However, undocumented immigration is not bad for the United States. On the contrary, the United States

Trumps main reasons for wanting to deport these illegal immigrants is because they are bringing drugs, crime, and they are rapist(2016, January 26). These reasons are very unreal and discriminating. In fact, immigrants, illegal and unauthorized are less likely to commit serious crimes than native-born Americans(Immigration Policy Center). As we can see, the things Trump says are not actually true. No matter where we go there is always going to be crime, drugs, and rapist. There is no way kicking a certain race out of our country is going to demolish these altercations we have in the United

Over the course of the presidential race Trump has demonstrated his disdain for certain groups of people. Shortly after announcing his run for presidency he declared that Mexicans are rapists and are bringing crime (Crane-Newman). According to Trump it is alright to generalize an entire group of people by the actions of a few. He has not only shared to the world his unpleasant thoughts about Mexicans, but

Trump is one that is completely against illegal immigration. Trumps biggest oppositions against illegal immigrants, is that he is determined to send them back were they came from even if it means separating them from their families. The Republican nominee has called for a crackdown on illegal immigrants, saying they “compete directly against vulnerable American workers” (Trump). He promises to cut back legal immigration with new controls he says would “boost wages and ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.” Trumps actions seem to be more of class rather than what’s right for our country. In one of his statements he states that he will ensure jobs for Americans which goes against numerous researches done that those immigrants don’t affect our jobs, we would just rather not do the jobs immigrants have. Instead of attacking the immigrants with records and a threat to our country, Trump would rather take the easy way out and just deport them

One of the major issues that Trump talks about is immigration. His stance on immigration isn’t that he wants all Hispanics deported, like so many people in this country believe, he only wants to have people that come into the country illegally deported. He has said that deporting illegals is something that Dwight Eisenhower did to solve the immigration problem during his time in office. He said, “Dwight Eisenhower, a great president, moved 15 million illegal immigrants out of the country just beyond the boarder… they came back… he moved them way south. They never came back. We have no choice.” Although some people don’t know, Trump doesn’t just want to keep Mexicans out. He wants to let them in, but only if they come in legally.
