Bernie Sanders On Immigration Reform

The number of undocumented immigrants in the Unites States has grown exponentially in the past years. The government has three basic options when it comes to dealing with the immigrants living in the United States. There are the options of a comprehensive and complete immigration reform, a temporary workers program, and a mass deportation program. Passing a comprehensive and complete immigration reform yields the most benefits for the country. It would increase the U.S. GDP at least 0.84 percent every year which amounts to $1.5 trillion in additional GDP over 10 years. Giving undocumented immigrants complete legal status would help raise wages overall, create more jobs, and generate additional tax revenue. A temporary workers program

Sanders’ immigration policies. First, he wants to find a way to allow citizenship for illegal immigrants, however, he does not believe the United States should open their borders.

Overall, there are people who are for, against, and indecisive about an immigration reform. Creating an immigration reform would be beneficial to many people in many ways. One benefit would be that it would help the economy because many people would file to get the documents and it wouldn’t be a cheap document. Another benefit is that families wouldn’t get separated and they wouldn’t live in the fear of never seeing each other

It's Time for Immigration Reform   News article after news article on immigration characterizes anyone who opposes the current level of immigration as anti-immigrant. This is biased and deceitful. It's like saying that anyone who doesn't want 10 or 12 children is anti-children. The truth is that many people are pro-immigration but recognize that the present level of immigration is unsustainable and will eventually be detrimental to Americans and immigrants alike.   One often-used irrelevant argument is that we are a nation of immigrants.

Imagine looking over the desert landscape of the southern United States and seeing an enormous concrete wall. Few people may say that the wall is a hindrance to the scenery, but many would say that the wall is blocking something. It would be meant to block immigrants from illegally entering the country. However, the real question would be how effective the wall is at preventing illegal entrance. I believe that the wall that would be placed on the southern border is not necessary to stop illegal immigration in the United States because of the costs, effectiveness, and other less costly options that could help reduce illegal immigration.

While a constant flow of people coming to America seems like a great idea to most, President-elect Trump thinks the U.S need to limit the people it let in. During his campaign he said he would repeal DACA and kick out all illegal immigrants. His thought process behind this is that it will free up jobs for Americans. Trump is right that it will free up jobs as roughly “8 million illegal immigrants currently have jobs”, but the issue is that Americans won’t have the proper training to take all of these jobs (Krogstad). This will lead to companies not producing what they should and being forced to lay off people. So overall by kicking out all immigrants Trump will be costing many Americans jobs and could lead to another depression. Another thing that Trump has said he will do is build a wall around the U.S and Mexico. This wall will cost millions, maybe even billions of dollars, yet Trump has not elaborated on how it will be paid for. He has said he will get Mexico to pay for it and that he has a plan to do it, but nobody knows what that is. This

The federal government has failed to enact immigration reform and invest in infrastructure to restore the U.S. economy. More illegal immigrants are residing in the U.S., unlawfully crossing the border, and overstaying visas each year. The goal of American politics is equal treatment under the law. All persons that stand before the law are treated the same regardless of their race, religion, skin color, national origin, and even sexual identity. I think that the U.S. is ready for immigration reform because it’s become a matter of basic civil rights for the millions of people who are living in the U.S. illegally. Immigration laws encourage racial profiling by law enforcement. The problem for immigration is that the institutional design of the

In order for the President to keep such immigrants outside of the U.S., he is propositioning a border wall in which México’s government will have to pay. When Mexico found out about this, not only did they state that they would pay for no such thing, former President Fox made multiple videos stating that they would not pay for anything. Afterwards, Trump took this matter to Congress and is currently trying to get the U.S. government to pay for it. Building a wall with the best technology will not only be expensive, but it will also keep out intelligent people that can positively impact the world. One of President Trump’s goals as the new president is to build a wall near the southern

Unfortunately, there are millions of undocumented immigrants in the United States, and addressing the situation will be very time consuming and uncomfortable for many because there are some immigrants that just want the opportunity to support their

From tax reform to the promotion of citizenship for illegal immigrants, Sanders is with no doubt expressing his beliefs in a bigger, better future for America. Along the lines of immigration, Senator Sanders believes very much so in creating a smoother pathway to citizenship for working immigrants and their family members. Along with paving this pathway to citizenship, which will be accomplished by the expansion of current immigration policies, Sanders also wishes to regulate the flow of future immigrants by promoting the ethical treatment of immigrant family members and minority groups as well as enhance access to justice and reverse the criminalization of immigrants who are lawfully living on U.S territory.

Bernie Sanders is a son of an immigrant and has realized that the vast majority of Americans at one point stemmed from immigration. It is the fundamental belief that the U.S. has a better opportunity for all people. His proactive plan includes a path to citizenship for eleven million undocumented Americans, a future policy to uphold our country’s beliefs, and to balance trade agreements Thousands of people immigrated through Angel Island, “ 22 million immigrants entered the country through Ellis Island and the Port of New York,” (“How Many Immigrants”) and eleven million undocumented people from the U.S.’s southern border have entered the country illegally. Sanders stands for equality for all Americans, not only the ones with papers. This candidate stands for an America that takes pride in caring for thy neighbor and being a haven for the oppressed. Bernie Sanders stands with us, not against us.

If I was able to vote a presidential candidate based on his or her views on immigration, I would choose Democrat Bernie Sanders. As well as allowing immigrants from foreign countries to come to our country where there is a lot of diversity, his innovative ideas also help our economy. One prime example is Sanders stating if he were to be president, 200,000 guest workers would be in our country for two years. And, in a television interview, he additionally stated: “If poverty is increasing and if wages are going down, we [do not] need millions of people… coming into this country as guest workers [working] for lower wages than American workers and drive waged down even lower than they are now.” Overall, Sanders wants to have efficient workers so that America’s economy can be

Immigration reform is desperately needed for our country; otherwise unauthorized immigration will continue to be on the forefront of our country’s problems. Obtaining a visa for any reason has become an extremely difficult process, and many immigrants do not even qualify to apply. There are approximately 11.3 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. Prior to 1882, when the Chinese Exclusionary Act was passed, the United States had open borders. Immigration was further restricted with the Immigration Act of 1924, when the national quota system was implemented. The quota system was replaced in 1965 when the Immigration and Nationality Act was passed. Immigration reform was not revisited again until 1986, even then the broken system was never addressed.

Visit the White House and have a conversation with the President of the United States.

Sanders will expand on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans. The act will allow undocumented immigrant to stay in the United states if they had stay in america for at least 5 years without being deported. sanders wants to protect immigrant workers rights by making sure that their employees will not abuse the immigrant because of their fear of deportation. He will allow permanent immigrant relief to families by eliminating the barrier that prevent certain relatives of us citizen to obtain a green
