Donald Trump's Immigration Policy In The United States

With the rise of foreign people permanently settling in America, the immigration policy has affected all aspects of society in terms of growth and development of economy, societal issues, and national security. As the immigration policy is a broad topic among senators, it needs to be prioritize for it to be better understood. In doing so will improve the immigration policy and grasp the significance of its impact in America.

Immigrating is to come to a country of which one is not a native, usually for permanent residence. It goes along with drive and determination to seek pleasure out of life, chase dreams, and purse happiness even in the most desperate of times. Migrating affects the communities that the migrants leave as well as the communities that receive them. There are many views as to why people migrate to different countries, the impact of immigration in countries, and how countries should go about regulating immigration. When discussing the ethics of immigration, it is important to view this topic from both sides and not just one side. In doing so, a person gets a sense of the bigger picture that the U.S. is currently dealing with due to immigration. With that being said, the United States should strive for an immigration policy that can benefit everyone involved as a whole.

The newly indicted President of the United States, Donald Trump had made an executive order to create an immigrant ban to prevent immigrants from entering and returning to the United States. Shortly after signed the order there was chaos due to Trumps lack of communication; Trump had signed the order as the official's were still discussing it. To continue, when the order was set Custom border control had received orders, however, they were quite unsure of what to do, more questions continue to raise about why trump had singed this order and why he was so quick to fulfill it. Officials of the Whitehouse had defended Trump's decision for the order and his reasoning for it.

5.1 million of the 73.1 million minors living the United States currently live with their illegal immigrant parents. The minors are legal American citizens as the 14th Amendment of the Constitution grants citizenship to children born in America, regardless if their parents illegally immigrated to the U.S. or not.. Donald Trump, the 2016 Republican presidential candidate, has proposed taking away birthright citizenship from illegal immigrants' children. By doing this it could reduce the amount of immigrants coming to our country and reduce some government debt. In addition, birthright citizenship is not a natural law. We the people voted on putting the 14th amendment into place, which in turn gives not only us, but illegal immigrants children citizenship, just for being born in America.

On January 27, 2017, President Trump issued an executive order that suspended entry of all refugees into the United States for one-hundred and twenty days. The order obstructed Syrian refugees for an unspecific time and blocked entry into the United States for ninety days for citizens of seven Muslim countries, such as: Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Yemen. This order also banned green card holder from these seven countries.

Donald Trump has a new plan for the immigration executive order. The original order was not as successful as it caused a lot of confusion. However, his new order will achieve some of the same goals.

There are around 16 million people in the US that live in a mixed-status, where at least one of the family members hold a temporary visa or is completely undocumented. These people are sons, daughters, fathers, mothers etc. They cannot afford to be separated from their loved ones. Trump wants to kick out even those children who were born in the US whose parents came here illegally. Even though the US’s constitution estates that every individual who is born in the US’ soil automatically becomes a citizen. A report found that 150 thousand children had been separated from one or both parents as a result of the laws passed by the states. Thousands of other children have been sent to foster home. Although, I do agree with Trump’s proposal about deporting undocumented immigrants with criminal records such as a

In the United States immigration has almost always been a controversial topic to discuss. James Madison wrote that "Our kind reception of immigrants is very proper, but it is dictated more by benevolent [sic] than by interested consideration, though some of them seem to be very far from regarding the obligations as lying on their side"(Madison, James) When Madison wrote this he had no clue of the problems that immigration could cause in the modern day United States in the last five to six decades. To better the U.S 's immigration policy, reforms are a necessary practice in order to better the involvement in immigration to the U.S. for both the immigrants and for the country.

In America, there is a major topic being debated; Donald Trump’s immigration bans. The Justice Department and “attorneys general” are in a heated debate about whether these bans are constitutional or not. The Justice Department’s position is that as President, he has both constitutional and legal authority to pull off these actions. According to the act President Harry S. Truman passed in the second article, “... the president [has] the power to suspend or impose restrictions on the entry of foreign nationals if he determines their entry ‘would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.’” (usatoday.com). By passing this act, the President has the power to issue orders as long as it is for the better of the people.

According to the most recently elected President of the United States, Donald Trump, “I could ... shoot people and I wouldn’t lose any voters.” Ironically, this quote from President Donald Trump stated on January 23, 2016 at a rally in Iowa coincides with his continuous claims that immigrants are a danger to our country because of their risk of terrorism. In 1790, Congress adopted a uniform law so that any ¨free white person¨ could apply for citizenship after two years of residency. In 1868, nearly 80 years later, African Americans gained citizenship to the United States with the Fourteenth Amendment. Finally, in 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed, suspending Chinese immigration for 10 years and barring Chinese in the U.S. from citizenship.

"Applicant's will need to show that they can financially support themselves and their families, and demonstrate skills that can contribute to the US economy," Donald Trump said. He added "They’re not going to come in and just immediately collect welfare." Until you are an American citizen for at least 5 years, the majority of immigrants cannot receive food stamps, Medicaid, and Social Security. Donald Trump often speaks against illegal immigration and has accused immigrants of stealing jobs from American workers and blames them for crime in the country. He suggests that the RAISE Act will "reduce poverty, increase wages, and save tax payers billions and billions of dollars". The remarks made caused huge controversy, many people stuck by his wide because he made it seem like it was in their favor to pass this Act. He continued to endorse this Act by saying "the current immigration system is unfair and that it benefits new immigrants over "struggling American families". Despite the results that immigrants actually served a positive purpose in the United States serving less crime than native-born American's and helped boost the economy.

The main objective of the author is to have open and honest debate of immigration policy in the United States. It is not that there is not an immigration policy. The author presented two points of view: for immigration and for restricted immigration. For a true democracy, policies are formulated, adopted, implemented and evaluated. In the evaluation phase, challenges are made as to the effectiveness of a “living” policy. All government’s action or inaction, affects the people governed, and immigration is no exception. In fact, it directly affects all citizens. The conflicts that immigration draws are a good one. It tests the pulse of how persons think and what they believe, thoughts and beliefs, which can and do change with time, based on situations and circumstances. The issues surrounding immigration are many, most being centered on legal immigration, illegal immigration, national security, and labor and economics, which forms part of the immigration reform agenda. The issue of immigration is not new nor is there a panacea for resulting problems now and in the future.

I agree with the article Trump’s crusade against immigrants is an attack on America by The Washingtons Post editorial board, stating that Donald Trump is inhumanely attacking immigrants with the excuse of legal issues, but in actuality is punishing immigrants because of his xenophobia.

. The presidential election its very important. The President has a lot of power. He can make decisions without your or Congress' consent. Most importantly, he acts as commander in chief. He is in charge of the military and our security. The President's job is to make America safe. There are five Republicans running and only two Democrats. Donald Trump is one of the Republicans. The immigration reform that will make America great again is divided in three principles of Donald’s Trump immigration plan: There must be a wall cross the southern boarder, laws passed in accordance with our constitutional system of government must be enforced, and any immigration plan must improve jobs, wages and security for all Americans. He wants Mexico to pay for the wall because “they

In the beginning of the debate, Donald Trump brings up the topic of the immigration system. He talks about the wall being built and most of the other Republican candidates agree. They believe Obama is not doing the right thing by “ignoring” the illegal immigrants situation. They are saying he is just allowing more and more illegal immigrants come into the states to be able to live a better life. Ted Cruz suggest that when he is going to use technology to track footprints across the desert, upgrade job applications to ensure the applicants are not illegal immigrants. However, Mark Rubio says that most should stay to their word. If they are going to build a wall, build a wall; if they are going to enforce more laws, they should make that happen.
