On The Issues: The Race for Virgina Governor

The immigration debate in this country has grown stronger over the past few years. There are valid reasons for being in favor of allowing immigrants to enter this country. However, there are also legitimate concerns from those who oppose immigration to this country. I believe that by allowing immigrants to enter the country, it’s diversity increases and culture expands. It gives struggling people from all over the world an opportunity to a better life. This country was built by immigrants who sought opportunity, political & religious freedom, etc. Some of the most intelligent and ambitious individuals, who are unsatisfied with their own countries, bring their skills to America.

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.

Republicans and Democrats have been fighting over the issue of immigration since the 1900s. Immigration has been an issue declared by both Democrats and Republicans alike over debates, elections and even the presidency. Each political party has different viewpoints of immigration and how it effects society and the U.S. as a whole. Immigration is the great division between two opinions. These two sides are: one being people that are accepting with immigrants coming in and out of the U.S., while the others say there shouldn’t be any immigrants coming to the U.S. Both parties have different stances on these issues, however, neither are as reliable as the facts.

Bush aide, Ed Gillespie . Although this was the case, Virginia had already had a Democratic governor previously, former Governor Terry McAuliffe, who had brought unemployment rates down below the national average, leading the citizens of Virginia to continue to vote Democratic . The election was extremely difficult with Northam winning with a 54% lead over Gillespie who received 45% of the vote . Both the Virginia gubernatorial candidates did not persuade voters upon their own platforms, but rather one ran on a pro-Trump, and the other on an anti-Trump platform . Although Gillespie ran on a platform that looked very similar to that of the President, he also made sure to distance himself to appeal to voters who the President did not appeal to, especially since Virginia had voted in the direction of Hillary Clinton in the Presidential elections originally. Overall, this shows the trends in what the Virginia population feels as a whole about what is currently happening within the White House

Unlike Sullivan, Bennett feels that there will be no moral distinction if there are same sex marriages. In opposition to Bennett, Sullivan feels that this would bring a sense of

My candidate, Bernie Sanders wants to give immigrants a voice and help them stay in the U.S. Sanders states,” We have eleven million people in this country who are undocumented-who came here to improve their lives, to escape oppression, to flee desperate poverty and violence-and are systematically shut out from that same opportunity.” Bernie Sanders is a son of an immigrant because his father came to this country with not even a penny in his pocket. So he understands why it is important to help those who are illegal here because it’s not fair that they want the same thing as we do, a better life, but can’t have just because they weren’t born here. Nevertheless, Bernie wants what everybody wants, a happy immigrant country.

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.

According to CNS news, 88 percent of population growth in the U.S. over the next 50 years. For that reason, immigration has become a controversial issue today. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party have had debates about it. Democratic candidates are in favor of immigration reform, while Republicans candidates are against immigration reform. Some democrats’ candidates are Hillary Clinton, Martin O’Malley, and Bernie Sanders.

In the New Hampshire primaries, many candidates in both Democratic and Republican categories. The candidates who do not follow the political views society deems as better rose to the occasion of winning the votes in both categories. The intense primaries depicted strengths and weaknesses in all candidates and the immediate decision for its representatives Trump and Sanders. Two main points that were arguably the most eye catching was the clear win of Sanders against Hillary and the shocking results in the runner ups of the Republican party.

I am writing this letter due to the fact I have a great concern with the situations the plague the area my family and I live in. I am writing a peaceful letter hoping that what I am saying can make a change in our society. I think that every where us “blacks” go should be equal. I have talked with others and no one appreciates the hate thrown towards us. Others shouldn't get offended because of the color of our skin, we should not even be getting mistreated for having more melanin than others.

Next I will talk about the Issue of Immigration from the conservative standpoint. Conservatives opinion on immigration is very clear. According to Student New Daily, conservatives, “Support legal immigration only. Oppose amnesty for those who enter the U.S. illegally” (“Conservative Vs Liberal”, paragraph 12). This means that conservatives want immigrants to be a part of our great country, but do not want people who came here illegally to get citizenship. One big point is that Conservative think the borders should be secure before dealing with illegal immigrants. Presidential Candidate Donald J Trump has stated, “The US has become a dumping ground for everyone else's problems” (Presidential announcement). This is from his speech announcing

As many of you know I have a very conservative outlook, and our recent gay marriage support has troubled me. I have always felt that marriage is between one man

Traditionalist who are against gay marriage believe that the dignity of marriage is being compromised. James Heiser says that it is against religious teachings and that it weakens the traditional concept of marriage. They argue that the awe, wonder, and dignity of marriage needs to be recaptured and that this is an assault on the family.
