The Nominees Immigration is a crucial topic for the 2016 Presidential race. It has been an of the issue for many Presidential races in the past. The two candidates I will be discussing and their policy views on immigration are the two that I will believe will be their party’s nominee, Donald J Trump with the Republican Party and Hilary R Clinton with the Democratic Party. Illegal immigration gets underreported and often swept under the rug. D.U.I. deaths and other incarceration statistics caused by illegal immigration in this paper are not reports you will not likely find in the main stream media. Donald Trump’s views and Hilary Clintons are polar opposite. Donald Trump views immigration as a threat to the United States economy and …show more content…
However, one can argue these people broke the law the second they crossed the border.. The immigration law is there so immigrants can enter America legally and fairly and so government knows who is coming in and why. Undocumented immigrants pose a high risk to America and its citizens.
Hilary Clinton also has three principles, “Enact a comprehensive immigration reform to create pathways to citizenship, keep families together, and enable millions of immigrant workers to come out of the shadows.” Second, “End family detention and close private detention centers.” Finally, “Defend President Obamas executive action to provide deportation relief for dreamers and parents of these born in the United States and lawful residents and extend those actions to additional persons with sympathetic cases if congress refuses to act.”
Clinton views sound much more helpful and more politically correct than Trumps. Although, keeping families together and bringing immigrant workers out of the shadows should not be a problem if they all weren’t breaking the law to begin with. The issues are much more troubling the more you look at the havoc they are causing to the United States citizens and the economy. Another aspect of illegal immigration is crime and the costed associated with it.
Immigrants that are here illegally are costing United States taxpayers roughly 6 trillion
His stance on Common Core testing is that “it’s a disaster”. “As president I’d end common core. Common Core is a disaster.” On the other hand Hillary has not yet voted her opinion on what should be done for Common Core testing, so her stance is “unknown.” Trump is against illegal immigration he stated on April 19, 2016 “illegal immigration is going to stop.” So just from this quote you can tell that he is going to stop it at no costs. Hillary said “I will stand up against any effect to deport dreamers. Immigrants are vital to our economy” on October 17, 2015. She wants to give them a full and equal path to become a
Hillary believes the immigration enforcement needs to be humane, watched and affected. Hillary will focus on those who are doing illegal things and deporting those individuals who put on a violent act to public safety, and ensure refugees who seek asylum in the U.S have a fair chance to tell their stories. She believes we are for families and need to pull it together and help with the problems that revolve around our broken immigration system. The American people support comprehensive immigration not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it will help all of us, strengthening our community and economy.
Clinton is introducing a comprehensive immigration reform. She will establish a complete immigration reform that includes extensive and fair citizenship. At the same time, it will protect our borders with a national security, and treat each citizen with admiration, welcoming millions of hard workers who deserve to live in the economy. “We should be deporting criminals, not hard working immigrant families who do the very best they can,” Clinton said. This statement can be a harder one to debate, considering every American ancestors or families now can only have the American Dream. Hillary believes that having an immigration reform will also create more than enough jobs for everyone. It is very necessary for American citizens to have pride and pleasure in their
In the 2016 Presidential election, both candidates had distinct outlooks on immigration reform. Hillary, was committed to the immigrants' rights community where as, Trump was more focused on enforcing stronger immigration laws. Hillary Clinton's position on immigration reform was to be devoted to the nations incoming immigrants.
Immigration: Jill Stein, in contrast with Donald Trump, believes that immigrants are not to blame for economic troubles and “stealing jobs” instead it’s that “our jobs went overseas due to NAFTA and other free trade agreements.” In order to end the waves of immigrants coming in, Stein says we need to fix the economic problems that are sparked by the current American trade policies. Stein cites immigrants as the “backbone of our economy,” citing that “In Alabama, their tomato industry collapsed to the tune of billions of dollars when they passed very harsh anti-immigrant laws and the immigrants left town” and advocates for a welcoming path to legal residency. Stein wants to end deportations that separate families, and calls for an end to the war on immigrants, stating that the Green New Deal would do so. Stein does not believe in a pathway to citizenship for immigrants with criminal backgrounds.
The reforming of America?s immigration policy is something that can no longer be avoided and must be dealt with as soon as possible. Years of neglect by governmental agencies and policies makers have now made this issue one of the biggest in American politics. First of it must be understood that immigration does no only effect curtain areas of the country and curtain aspect of public life but rather all of American life. Both legal and illegal immigration affect major issues such as jobs availability for all citizens, wages, education in public schools system and in general, health care issues, and the homeland security.
Donald and Hilary have very different views on immigration. Donald sees immigration as something that needs to be taken very seriously. His main solution is to build a wall and end and start new laws that will best keep illegal immigrants out of our country. While, Hillary wants to build a fence and will try to add new laws and reforms that will allow illegal immigrants to have a chance of a new life in the united states.
Those already here should value and support the present and future immigrants (rebubplicanviews). This Party believes in providing a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, especially those who are brought here as children. Undocumented immigrants already here who, clear a background check, work strenuously, and pay taxes should have a way to become a citizen. They express that undocumented workers who “are in good standing must admit that they transgressed the law, pay taxes and a penalty, learn English, and get right with the law before they can get in line to earn their citizenship” (Chozick). Democrats believe that in order to embrace the diversity of our country, “we need to fine-tune our broken immigration system” (Spotts). Clinton has presented herself as the right person to help these immigrant families stay together. Clinton’s position on changing the immigration issue is by strictly focusing on Immigration legislation. She supports new immigration legislation that would open the door for citizenship. She argues that families in which members have different legal statuses are confronted with a decision to separate and go back to their native countries in order to fix their status. She also encourages immigrants to become a naturalized citizen by making the process easier. Clinton would expand fee waivers so that money is not an obstacle for
Every year, millions of immigrants come into the United States. Generally, the United States policies are complex but the topic of immigration in the country is far more complicated to understand. Currently, the topic is extremely controversial yet the government has been trying to avoid addressing it for quite a while now. Nevertheless, it is very rare for a candidate to make immigration policy part of his platform but in the 2016 presidential election Donald Trump even made it part of his campaign which caused world-wide controversy. Trump claimed that he would “make America great again” and create a high security wall along the border between Mexico and the United States. Nevertheless, any decision taken by the government will affect everyone in the country, whether in a positive or negative manner, as “an estimated 11.4 million unauthorized immigrants were living in the United States in January 2012 compared to 11.5 million in January 2011.” The numbers keep increasing every day
A nation without laws is not a nation. Laws passed in accordance with our Constitutional system of government must be enforced. Enforce immigration law
With the rise in unemployment and terrorism, allowing illegal aliens to cross borders without proper documentation is debated more than ever before. Trump’s idea to solve these problems is to build a Wall along the Mexican border and make Mexico pay for it. He also wants to deport all “criminal” aliens that would be considered a threat to the United States. Clinton, on the other hand, supports the DREAM act and put forth a path to legalize undocumented aliens. She has strongly opposed Trump’s idea of building a wall saying that it would separate the countries other than bring them closer together. Clinton also wants to help refugees from countries that are overturned by civil war and jihadist radicals.
Policies are pivotal implementations put in place by the government on local, state, and federal levels. There are endless amounts of policies enacted by the American government, with many of these policies directly influencing the lives of citizens. As the 2016 Presidential Election draws near, understanding the policies projected by each presidential candidate is essential to making an educated decision when it comes to voting for the future condition of the United States. The two primary candidates for the upcoming election, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton propose policies and plans that are in opposition to one another. One of the policies that is receiving a great deal of attention in the media right now is the issue of immigration. This issue poses a difficult question regarding how to address the presence of illegal immigrants in the United States. On one hand, immigration supports the rights of immigrants, but on the other hand, this policy limits opportunities for Americans. Due to my lack of knowledge in the area of immigration, I have decided to further investigate this issue in order to understand how Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton plan to address immigration if they are elected to office. Each candidate has plentiful ideas regarding immigration that will result in a number of benefits and/or consequences for both Americans and immigrants. Besides solely looking at the positions held by the
The issues surrounding our nation’s immigration policies continue to play an important role for voters, especially with the increased amount of discussion by most of the presidential candidates left. Like in previous years, the people in the federal government will try to push comprehensive reform bills that can affect the millions of immigrants in our country. Although both parties want immigration reform, the candidates have different ways of approaching it. Because of this, voters, especially those who are immigrants, will pay attention to this topic and the candidates’ viewpoint(s) as it can affect them. In particular, for this November election numerous people will go vote for/against the policies that Republican presidential candidate Trump discussed such as limiting immigration and deporting all undocumented
Clinton focuses on detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants "who pose a violent threat to public safety," according to the Democratic nominee 's immigration platform.
I always saw Clinton as a conservative Democrat feigning many socially progressive views. Also, although I disagree with her. I believe she does have some decent reasoning in describing her position on illegal immigrants. My main concern with DACA and DAPA was their constitutionality. Morally they are warranted and merited, but there is the question of their legality and whether or not the President retains the power to do this.
