The top foreign policy issues the new president will face are immigration, furthering our efforts towards fighting terrorism abroad that has the potential to spill into our country, lastly insuring our country is making sound decisions when it comes to what conflicts we decide to jump into, we do not need another Iraq. Immigration will be a major issue that our newly elected president will face, not only is it an issue in the public eye covered on most news outlets on a daily basis but it can affect our national security. Who we let into the country can be a major issue; if we are to relaxed on our border security we can let dangerous people, drugs, and firearms into our great nation. On the other hand if we are too strict it could affect our economic structure, our country was built on the backs of immigrants and they are a …show more content…
Our new president can’t be so reckless with American lives, we need to pick our battles wisely and only jump into things that will bring us closer to our main goals. Iraq has been a major conflict that has had no tangible goals and no end in sight as well as costing the lives of 4,287 American soldiers as of 2012 according to casualties.org. Our national debt and death toll is only going to continue to grow if we jump into more meaningless and reckless conflicts. This should be an issue our newly elected president should be worried about. These three major foreign polices are going to be very important for the new president but they are not the only issues they should be worried about. If the next president is going to be successful they need to be focused on handling the issues affecting us and be less worried about being popular with the masses, being president is not a popularity contest it is a huge responsibility and should be taken
There are differing opinions from all, but most feel that immigration is a key issue that needs to be addressed immediately. Trump has been increasingly brash with his position on immigration reform. Going as far as to call children born to illegal aliens “anchor babies”. His immigration policy also calls for three core principles: a nation without borders is not a nation, a nation without laws is not a nation, and a nation that does not serve its own citizens is not a nation. (MLA) Along with these core principles Trump believes that Mexico should pay for the wall that he will build between the two countries, stating that “the annual cost of free tax credits alone paid to illegal immigrants quadrupled to $4.2 billion in 2011.” He also wants to triple the number of ICE officers and have better cooperation between local, state, and federal law enforcement. There are other policies he wishes to implement such as: defunding sanctuary cities, deporting all criminal immigrants, and increasing penalties for persons who overstay their visa. Last but not least, Trump wishes to ignore the 14th Amendment and end birthright citizenship for children who are born to illegal aliens. He has affectively ruined any support that he may have had from the latino
Immigration is an important public policy that the United States is facing today because as mentioned earlier, there are currently 11.3 undocumented immigrants. There are two things that will strongly affect these programs and the future of immigration reform. The first is the upcoming presidential election in November 2016. For example, a Democratic nominee may want to continue that work that Obama has laid out, while a Republican nominee may
No doubt, it is a hot button issue, look up any presidential nominee with the term ‘immigration’ after their name and scores of videos, articles, and data will flood your way. The language used when referring to immigration policy, legislation, and migrants themselves determines the scope used in assessing the situation. All of the nominees for the 2016 President Election have taken a stance on immigration, each may be independent from one another, but are common in several key elements. Marco Rubio, Donald Trump, and Ben Carson’s immigration policies reveal a gendered and criminalizing rhetoric, which marginalizes and dehumanizes migrant people.
The Scarlet Letter, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, features many instances of symbolism. One notable example is the opposing behavioral systems of the forest and town and how natural authority triumphs that of man.
United States policy towards the Iran-Iraq war was interesting to say the least. While the United States claimed to be a neutral party, they supported Iraq for the majority of the war, supported Iran for a brief period, then went back to only supporting Iraq. Both sides committed numerous atrocities and war crimes, and for the most part received little to no American condemnation. Through this essay, I will explore the reasons for the US involvement, and their responses to a number of war crimes, particularly Iraq’s use of chemical weapons throughout the war.
Any American president should not just stay languid to the job s/he is assigned to do. The American system may be fine but it is not perfect in any way. So the key role of the President is to try and fix this. Talking about which, I would like to point out some of the key sectors like education, health, energy and safety where the country needs a lot of
According to Jeffrey M. Jones, polls reveal that national security and immigration are some of the most important issues for voters in the 2016 presidential election (1). Both issues are directly related with the need to secure our southern border.
U.S. immigration policy has always been an important topic debated by Presidential candidates for decades. Immigration reform has been ignored by Congress, leaving decisions up to the President and Supreme Court. In the meantime, the hopes of about eleven million illegal immigrants in the U.S., as well as future rules for legal immigration, rest on the shoulders of those decision makers. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump both agree that changes to U.S. immigration policy are needed; however, Donald Trump is taking a radical approach suggesting mass deportation and completely revamping U.S. immigration policy, whereas, Hillary Clinton is overlooking some issues and wants to continue to support the policy set forth by the Obama Administration. Regardless of who becomes President, they will have a hard time getting these issues passed through Congress.
Illegal immigration is quite the scorching topic in our society at the moment. Our President-Elect, Donald J. Trump, is an advocate against illegal immigrants and wants to deport them. Our current president, Barack “Barry” Obama, is an advocate for illegal immigrants and wants to give them amnesty. I, along with his many other supporters, am with our next president. Illegal immigration is one of the few titanic zits on our country’s shining face and they do not benefit America nearly to the extent that they harm the country.
That includes maintaining a cutting-edge military, strengthening our alliances, being firm but wise with our rivals, cultivating new partners, defeating ISIS, and enforcing the Iran nuclear deal. (financeholic)
In conclusion, immigration has always been a hot topic in the United States, and we all have different outlooks on the immigration issues. Although some may fail to accept it, immigrants are a major part of our nation, and it is interesting to see what will happen with our nation after our new president enters office and begins enforcing their
Immigration, in general, sparks up a debate, especially now with our new president Donald Trump. His strong sentiments towards irregular immigrants specifically Mexicans made a lot of citizens and non-citizens curious about his future policies. One of his biggest promises during the campaign was to deport 11 million immigrants and later changed
The Greek goddess have a large range of personalities that do not necessarily reflect the norms for Greek women at that time. I had never considered comparing the average Greek woman to a Greek goddess before, and I found it very interesting. Goddesses were such an important part of Greek life, yet their influence on the independence of women seemed to be very little.
Although it is often said that the President of the United States holds the most powerful office in the world, this does not mean that he is able to decide very much for himself. The American Constitution, which was adapted in 1789, clearly states the Separation of Powers. Thus, the president makes up only one third of the government, namely the executive branch. He is also controlled by a complex system of checks and balances, which makes sure that he (or any of the other branches, for that matter) does not become too powerful. We will now have a look at the different problems which may be facing a recently elected president, and then discuss to what extent his powers are important.
The issues that I find most important and most time-sensitive are education, the economy, and terrorism. Improving the educational system is my top priority for President Trump and the Congress because I have been through 12 years of public school and I will be attending college next year. This country focuses too much on competing with educational systems across the world, rather than figuring out how best to educate our kids. I think that the Department of Education should give schools and teachers more freedom to teach their students, not enforce new national standards every few years (I am very strongly against Common Core). I also believe more of the government’s budget should go toward funding for education, specifically the arts. My second priority is the economy. The recession in 2008 directly affected my family, and as I go off to college and begin a career, living in a country with a stable economy is important to me. The United States is in trillions of dollars of debt, and I’d like to see President Trump and Congress try to find ways to reduce that number before spending millions, or billions, of dollars on other things. Finally, terrorism, both foreign and domestic, is my third priority for our government. I do believe that ISIS is a real threat to America, but I also want the President to acknowledge the incidences of domestic terrorism that occur in our country as just that: terrorism. There have been too many school shootings and hate crimes in just the past five years to ignore the idea that domestic terrorism is a threat to Americans. I do not have the knowledge to know how this could be done, but I’d like to see the percentage of terrorist attacks go down over the next four years with Trump in
