Article Analysis: 'Obama to Permit Young Migrants to Remain in US' by Preston and Cushman

The U.S. has always being considered the land of opportunities. Back in my home country opportunities were very scarce, which led to my family immigrating to the U.S. for a better future. Having had firsthand experience in the immigration transition system, it has been captivating to hear in the news about the Executive Order Obama issued on November 20, 2014. Seeing families getting separated, violence raising in the Mexican border, and the increasing Latin population in the U.S. signaled the need for this Executive Order in immigrant communities. Even though the Constitution states that Congress has the duty of writing our Nation’s laws, President Obama declared an Executive Order on Immigration. It is believed to be a political boom for

In 1986 Ronald Regan signed into law the Immigration Reform and Control Act, an amnesty act that would alleviate the current immigration problems. Through this law, out of five million illegal immigrants, an estimated four million could have applied to become legal U.S. Citizens. This law was supposed to put a definite stop to illegal immigration into the United States. However, ever since the law was enacted, statistics show that the numbers of illegal immigrants in the United States have ascended from an estimated 5 million in 1986, to about 11 million today. Therefore because of these rising numbers, immigration has been one of the most popular topics in U.S. elections and debates. So on November 20th 2014, President Obama announced to the nation the executive actions that he 's planning to take to fix our nation 's broken immigration system.

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the new immigration reform that was introduced by President Barack Obama. The issue has been split between politicians because one side wants illegal immigrants to face deportation while others want to make drastic changes to improve the broken system, so President Obama decided to take his own legal action on the issue. “Three critical elements of the President’s executive actions are: cracking down on illegal immigration at the border, deporting felons not families, and accountability by passing criminal background checks and paying their fair share of taxes” (The White House). Every year hundreds of thousands of immigrants come into the United States illegally. These immigrants come to America for a variety of reasons; whether it’s hoping for a chance at a better life or escaping violence and poverty in their home country. America’s immigration system has been broken for decades. Too many employers cheat the system by hiring undocumented workers who don’t have proper work authorization. There are millions of people living in the shadows that are afraid of being caught by authorities and sent back. These ongoing problems are neither good for the economy or the country. Obama has argued that this has been an ongoing problem for decades and that its time to fix this broken system. “The President’s actions will streamline legal immigration to boost our economy and will promote naturalization for those who qualify” (The White

On Tuesday president Trump called an end to the Obama program “DACA” and urges Congress to make a replacement before he begins removing the rights and the protection of “DACA” will end in six months. This means if congress doesn’t make a replacement then they will all be deported back to their home country. In March as many as 800 thousand people brought to the United States illegally as children will be eligible for deportation. The five-year-old policy allows them to remain without immediate deportation from the country and gives them the ability to work. Trump and his attorney, announced the change at the Justice Department, arguing that those that have entered the country illegally are lawbreakers who hurt Americans by taking

As President Trump’s March deadline for the discontinuation DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) rapidly approaches both houses of congress are fervently seeking for a compromise immigration policy. While the willingness of the Trump Administration to discontinue DACA places the futures of these “dreamers” in the balance, ironically a compromise that makes the protections of DACA recipients permanent and also provides a pathway toward citizenship could ultimately benefit the dreamers more fully than President Obama’s executive order could have ever done. Executive orders are not only at the whims of changing administrations, but also rest on questionable constitutional grounds meaning that courts could also eventually discontinue

Various partisan and nonpartisan will appose and approve this act; however, Mr.President will be working against the procedure of the legislative body. Creating according to Bill McInturff, a Republican pollster “making people skeptical of executive action.” Allowing aliens residency undocumented in the states, this will benefit the terrorists and criminals by effectively creating cover for them, as Tim Kane states. The lack of providing poor border secure, illustrates the satire of 10 million, and counting, immigrants have projected by them coming into U.S soil. “The real problem with undocumented immigrant workers is that flouting the law has become the norm, which makes the job of terrorists and drug traffickers

According to migrationpolicy.org, “11 million unauthorized immigrants resided in the United States in 2014” and the number is only growing. Also, according to another Washington Times article, it is not unusual in the fact that these immigrants steal and use other peoples ID’s in order to get jobs. Nonetheless, Rep. Raul Grijalva “called the president’s strategy ‘racist and misguided’ and said the administration had ‘killed any glimpse of hope’ for those who might have been granted the 2014 amnesty, known as DAPA.” Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, otherwise known as DAPA, practically gave certain illegal immigrants who have lived in the United States since 2010, and have children who are either American citizens or lawful permanent residents a three-year, renewable work permit and exemption from deportation. In the news article, it talks about immigration and the rights and constraints the US government officials would like to put on

President Trump’s recent executive order on immigrants and refugees has been met with much controversy across the conflicting sides. Supporters of the plan defend the order’s legality based on the federal statute U.S. Code § 1182 (Inadmissible aliens) that allows the president to restrict the entry of “any class of aliens” into the United States (Code 1182). Others claim that this plan is beneficial because immigration can lead to economic problems and is costly. Many immigrants come to the U.S. for several years and then go back to their home country. They argue that immigrants that don’t expect to stay can have less reason to integrate culturally and economically. Furthermore, the government typically subsidizes the acquisition of useful skills and education. When people acquire these resources and then leave without utilizing them, the resources could have been better spent

This is a feature article. This article contains the news elements of consequence, proximity, human interest, and prominence. This article was based in New York and the topic of the termination of the DACA immigration policy has been a controversial topic because it impacts hundreds of thousands of young immigrants.

This article discusses the Supreme Court's deadlock on President Obama's immigration policies. The 4 to 4 tie meant his Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) would not be established. This plan would have helped 4 million immigrants from getting deported. It was an expansion of his already successful Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, which helped prevent the deportation of 1.1 million young immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents. Many immigrants were left distraught by the

The post 9/11 phase saw a considerable increase in deportation in the United States and a decrease in immigration. In fact, multiple measures were taken to strengthen the immigration system and alter the country’s view and debate of immigration which was, and still is, a hot topic. In 2002, the Bush Administration passed the Homeland

In discussing public policy on immigration reform, it is important to understand the difference between an “Immigrant” and “Illegal alien”. According to IRS.gov (2016), immigrant is defined as “an alien who has been granted the right by the USCIS to reside permanently in the United States”. An illegal alien is known as an “undocumented alien” who enters the country illegally or enters the country legally but falls “out of status”. It is important to note that illegal alien and illegal immigrant are used interchangeably. The policy-making process on Immigration reform is an important issue for Americans and is likely to play an important role in the 2016 presidential election.

On November 20, 2014, the President announced a series of executive actions to crack down on illegal immigration at the border, prioritize deporting felons not families, and require certain undocumented immigrants to pass a criminal background check and pay taxes in order to temporarily stay in the U.S. without fear of deportation ("Executive Actions on Immigration"). But in the recent months and in the GOP debates we have heard non-stop talk about illegal immigration. News ranging from the crimes some illegal immigrants have committed in here in the U.S, funding in sanctuary cities, and the numbers of people who manage to get into our country has been thrown to us daily. Illegal immigration is a clear problem for our

As demonstrated on figure 18, Obama has deported much more Mexicans and other illegal immigrants (2 million so far) than his predecessors (Corones, 2015). In 2008, Barack Obama as a president candidate promised to indorse immigration reform during the first year in of his presidency. Even he could control the Congress he did not try. Instead, he has being marked for the largest deportation in American history. Each year Obama has deported more than any previous president in 2014 for example, was 358,886 removals. According to the DHS, the Department's commitment to border security and public safety by focusing on the removal of convicted criminals and recent border entrants. In 2014, 85% of removals and returns were people who had already

The topic of immigration has been considered a conflict in politics and societies for decades. Ever since the Irish and Germans came to the U.S during the Industrial Revolution there has been discrimination between ethnic groups. However, there’s a continuous issue relating to Hispanic immigrants that come to the U.S in order to look for a better life just like everyone’s ancestors did the same thing at one point. Barack Obama our former president touched the topic by stating “My fellow Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers once, too”(Brainy Quotes). This, however, is hidden behind many political loopholes where many immigrants end up paying the price and sometimes are deported even with legal papers in the U.S. This would be okay you would think, but if you think about their children are separated from their parents in many cases and this leads for kids to be marked with the decisions that most of the time lead them to hit the streets and be influenced by bad friends that don’t help.
