The President of the United States is a well respect and immensely powerful position. Every 4 years, a new president is elected. Many highly respect individuals hold competition for this career, presenting their ideas and beliefs for the American people to support or refute. The United States current president, Barack Obama, is ending is 2nd term in office. This starts the debate and discussion of who will take his place as president. Currently, there is an enormous selection of individuals who people believe to be qualified for the position. However, the American people believe there is one individual who stands out amongst the crowd. He is a Queens New York native who did well both socially and academically. He graduated from both …show more content…
His policies and ideals will prove to make America great again. The majority of Americans believe that the economy is the first major problem that needs to be fixed by the next upcoming president. As seen in a GALLUP poll, when asked over 12 different debatable topics, economy was number one by 39% total. (GALLUP) Since this is seen as a major problem, we would need a person who deals with economic markets, statistics, and values to address the need. This is a perfect position for Trump, as he runs multi-billion dollar companies that address similar problems daily. The economy cannot be describe in one word, nor can all the factors that effect it ever be listed. There are however some major key points that can be dissected. Currently, during Obamas administration, the nation is in a deficit of 18 trillion dollars and growing rapidly. (USDEBTCLOCK) To reverse this, or to get into a surplus, you need to make the governments revenue higher than its expenditures. This means you have to make reforms and cuts to current spending habits as well as increase cash flow to increase revenue. Trump has many plans and ideas of how to successful accomplish this. First and foremost, the spending on immigrants who come to this country illegal must be halted. No other president candidate has addressed this problem with as many effective solutions as Trump has. The United States in 2011 has spent 4.2 billion dollars on a majority of costs just associated
Donald Trump is focused primarily on helping Americans; he wants to ensure that Americans have jobs, wages, and security. In order to do so, Trump developed a “10 Point Plan to Put America First.” Trump wants to cease the mass immigration of Mexicans to America in search for work opportunities. If elected president, Trump wants to build a wall on the southern border of the United States, which will keep Mexicans out. Trump wants to make certain that any illegal immigrant is imprisoned and deported immediately. Trump does not tolerate any illegal immigrants in the United States and wants to make sure Americans are “put first.”
Throughout the years we have had some great United States presidents and some terrible ones. When we elect a president, we want someone who will improve our country and stabilize our economy. However, many presidents do not accomplish this during their term and end up causing the opposite effect to happen. One president who is on the list of presidents that made the country worse and our economy decline is George W. Bush. He was the United States president from 2001 to 2009. George W. Bush was one of the worst United States presidents for many reasons, but the top three on my long list are first and foremost his decision to start the war on Iraq, second his support of the Military Commissions Act, and last but not least his handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
According to Emily Stewart, Trump’s immigration reform is the most straightforward way of dealing one of the most back and forth controversies of the United States in the 21st century. Firstly he wants to make Mexico build a wall on the border between them and the US in an attempt to keep illegal immigrants out of the US, and furthermore then he want to deport all of the suspected 11 million illegal immigrants from Mexico. His deportation plan alone would cost an estimated $600 billion dollars and take 10-15 years to complete disregarding the still incoming illegal immigrants coming from Latin America. Trump also wants to make a America more of a self reliant nation as he wants an entire tax code reform, an increase in foreign exports tariffs to the US to 35%, a breaking of NAFTA, and to bring major companies back to the US. Yet for all of these absurd points Trump brings up he never once explains how or when he is going to or try to accomplish these goals (Stewart). In the wise words of Benjamin Franklin, “...if you fail to plan [Trump], then you plan to
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
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 of 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

President Trump said he would repeal and replace the ACA “Affordable Care Act”. Additionally, President Trump has promised to reduce the $19.5 Trillion (and growing) debt by cutting spending on all non essential government agencies and add-on expenses that were senselessly added over the last administration. He also said he would convince companies to bring factories back to America, in essence “Make America Great Again”. These are just some of the many promises President Trump has made to the American people. But many of his promises will take a while to come in affect as his plan to alter the course of our country unfolds.
President Trump's goal is to rid the entire nation of undocumented immigrants(Calabresi et al, 2016). Trump plans to send immigrants back to Mexico to wait out the immigration process(Kulish et al, 2017). However, Mexico did not approve of this plan. Trump is trying to pawn a U.S. problem on another country, and it is causing tensions to rise. Trump also plans to use expedited removal of illegal Mexican immigrants. This means he plans to deport people without a judge as extensively as the law will allow it in order to prevent back log of immigrant cases(Kulish et al, 2017). By preventing illegal Mexican immigrants from obtaining the necessary wages in order for their families to be financially stable, the Mexican economy will only plummet more. These people will continue to live in poverty, and the incentive will be even higher to illegally immigrate to the U.S.. It also creates the problem for the U.S. with a lack of a blue collar workforce population for the service economy and agriculture. He also plans on expanding the program 287(g) which, from 2013-2016, led to over 175,000 deportations(Kullish et al, 2017). The program was able to deport so many people because it used racial profiling. The U.S. has come so far in civil rights and liberties just to stigmatize Mexican Americans as illegal immigrants. The only beneficial thing Trump has done in his immigration policy is leave DACA alone.
Donald Trump’s Immigration Reform plan claims to 'Make America Great Again’. Trump wants to revive the nation with three core principles: a nation without a border is not a nation, a nation without laws is not a nation, and a nation that serves its own citizens is not a nation. With goals to put a wall across the southern border, enforce government laws, and improve jobs, wages and security for all Americans, Donald Trump is rallying supporters. However, with statements from Trump those view as racist and childish, many have concerns with his execution. People can’t help but to wonder if his plans or more complicated than he leads on, ineffective, or harmful to the economy. Is Trump’s plan unrealistic or does it live up to it’s headline-grabbing
There are many flaws in the actions of the President of the United States using executive action to shape policies for the United States, but congress plays a major role in the reasons why there are so many issues pertaining to the use of executive action. Another flaw is that it is not spelled out in the constitution that the president is allowed to bypass congress on any issues that are not attended to. Congress makes a huge fuss about the president executing his executive actions but congress is the one from the beginning that granted that right to him in the first place. The presidents use of executive action on issues, that when applied, bypasses congress. Executive Actions are used to remedy a fundamental lack of action by congress
The man we now call the president of the United States, Donald J Trump has recently made comments about decisions that might happen in this country. The disturbing comments has affected many families emotionally, mentally, and physically especially our families who are illegal immigrants. The new president has made accusations of deporting all illegal immigrants in this country, including our younger generation of immigrants who immigrated to this country as children by the decision of their parents, the younger generation of immigrants are also known as our dreamers, DACA students. The article, “Rethinking Immigration Reform” written by Mike Coffman a Republican who represents Colorado’s 6th Congressional District, argues that the
When George W. Bush started his first term as president, the country and the economy was at its peak, but soon, it slowly spiraled downwards. Bush is a Republican, who has previous political experience, such as helping his father with his campaign, and being the former governor of Texas. On November 7, 2000, George W. Bush competed in his first election, and running against Democrat Al Gore. His vice president was Dick Cheney of Nebraska, and he was Bush’s vice for both of his presidential terms. The results of his 2000 campaign were 50,456,002 for popular votes, and 271 as the electoral votes. On November 4, 2004, Bush engaged in his second election as his reelection, but this time around, he was running against John Kerry. For this
On September 11, 2001, America was attacked by terrorists. Before this traumatic event, one could not even imagine someone doing such a thing. When this event occurred everyone had been unaware and continuing their daily activities only to be stopped by this life changing news. The president at the time was George W. Bush. Doing day to day activities like the rest of us, he was reading to a second grade class that bright Tuesday morning. Upon hearing about the news, he was utterly shocked along with the rest of America. At approximately 8:40 p.m., which is around 12 hours after the event, he gave a speech to address this horrendous event. President Bush had successfully created a sense of unity and security throughout the country with his speech by using ethos, pathos, logos, tone and imagery.
The government in the United States has three branches, which are executive, legislative and judicial. The United States of America declared the independence from Britain since 1976. Since success of revolution, the United States founded their first government in 1789 with following ideas: freedom, liberty, democracy. Until now, the United States have more than forty presidents indirectly elected by civilian citizens. Presidents will be reelected every four years. Changing in presidents will also change ideas about the role of government. Barry Goldwater, Lyndon Johnson, Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama these four renowned presidents demonstrated their different views on establishing government with four speeches in 1964, 1965, 1981 and
In 1787 our founding fathers believed that that the general population was not educated enough to select the president of the United State (Bronson, K and Dove, L 2015). This was one of the concerns our founders had when the wrote the Article II, section 1 of our constitution which laid out the framework for the electoral college process that we use still to this day. An article by Bronson, and. Dove” stated that the Electoral College provided security to concerns that the governing people had in this era of our nation’s history to ensure a viable election process, such as the unlikelihood that a candidate would have a national presence amongst the general public.”(2015). Due to the vast geographic distances candidates would not be able to appeal their platforms to the people since there was no televisions or radios throughout the country. The founding fathers even feared that the more populous states would force their influence on the less populate states making the popular voting process not viable to receive the true will of the people(Bronson,K and Dove, L page 1, para 2). These concerns where ligament in that society and era of our nation’s history and the Electoral College process gave security. With key transformations that have accord in our society, such concerns are less prominent. The Electoral College Process no longer protects us from concerns of the past, but directly effects new problems in our current society The Electoral College denies the will of the
