The Pros And Cons Of Immigration Reform

Immigration has played a large role in the history of the United States since the very founding of the country. As even the founding fathers of the United States were immigrants coming to the U.S. to seek a better life. For varies reasons, immigrants have been traveling to America to seek a better life whether to achieve better economic opportunity, religious freedom, and/or political refuge (Jiménez). These reasons have caused immigrants to flood into the U.S. In the most recent years’, weather to allow immigration to keep going as it is has been a hot topic for America. This controversy over immigration has grown as Americans continue to wonder if immigration is still good for the country. Therefore, the immigration controversy has many Americans

comprehensive immigration reform could bring to this country, to the native- born and immigrants workers as well. Also, he makes emphasis in how the number of undocumented immigrants has increased since 1990’s; therefore, the economy of United States has dramatically increased.

Immigration is a hot button topic today and so many people have different opinions about it, but who oversees its laws? Our government is split into three main branches, Legislative, Executive and Judicial. Every branch contributes in a different way to have a law in action. The Legislative branch, which contributes to the first step of making any law, consists of the house of representatives and the senate, which together form the United States Congress which have the supreme authority to enact legislation, the privilege to confirm or reject many presidential appointments, and massive investigative powers (“The Legislative Branch”, 2017). The Executive branch, contributes to enforcing the laws and it mainly involves the President of the United States, who also acts as head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The President is responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws written by Congress and, to that end, appoints the heads of the federal agencies, including the Cabinet (“The Executive Branch”, 2017). The Judicial branch, puts the final touches on the law and polishes it. It consists of the United States Supreme Court and lower federal courts. The Supreme Court's primary function is to hear cases that challenge the constitutionality of legislation or require interpretation of that legislation ("The Judicial Branch", 2017). Immigration laws are made within the Legislative branch, carried out by the Executive branch, and evaluated by the Judicial

June 2012 was a year with a huge break through on illegal immigration, and the fight to set the decision right. Opportunities to improve immigrants careers, schooling, and lives, who were born in the United States and plan on staying are on the rise. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was created to provide immigrants with an opportunity to stay in the States “legally,” but continue their lives through education if graduating from an U.S. high school, going to college, serving in the armed forces, and eventually gain citizenship in the United States. Many U.S. citizen have many thoughts and views on illegal immigrants and immigration in general, and the pros and cons to having DACA support illegal immigrants to stay in the country. There is a huge decision in process currently in 2017 that is putting DACA in risk from being a Federal Program that would end up effecting many immigrants. Threatening deportation and the possibility of losing everything that DREAMers have worked up to and for and are continuing to work towards is at a huge risk of just being thrown away. Keeping DACA and protecting the DREAMers is important because mentally and physically they are just as much of a U.S. citizen as anyone else born in the U.S.

They could do the right thing now by passing a bill called the Bridge Act. It stands for Bar Removal of Individuals who Dream and Grow our Economy. Its chief sponsors are Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, a Democrat, and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican. It would extend protections to the dreamers now eligible for DACA through 2020, once again buying time to negotiate a comprehensive immigration reform

This election is unique, and even if the choice may seem clear there are many people on the fence about who has the best fit to be our president. However, with Clinton leading in the polls, and for good reason, the American people may just be realizing that a reality television mogul has no business running for president of the United States. Even though some people may say that we could benefit from Trump’s background in business, that’s about the only thing that would work in our favor if he becomes president. Setting our nation back fifty years is not something that would benefit us but if we let Trump halt immigration, take away rights women have fought for so long and continue to say and do unbelievably ignorant things then we will only

With education being the number priority and the reason why many immigrants came to the United States, but with many organizations have been helping many immigrants in achieving their citizenship, but also helping students with scholarships with non-profit foundation, meaning that the no federal organization gave them money with no strict requirements about their status in the U.S to get this scholarships. An organization located here is here in Texas that is called the North Texas Dream Act which helps millions immigrants that still don’t have legal status yet and helps them in many ways by giving funds and scholarships to students that are in need to find money to finish their career and start a good life. Other ways of achieving funds to pay for tuition at certain college or universities by receiving in state tuition that is based on financial aid but the requirement aren’t very crucial they just to live in the state for two years and graduated from high school or got a GED. For example Texas has the application Texas Application for State financial aid and many don’t even know it exists being that it existed for more than a decade. If parents were to leave and be deported the student

Reforming the system has wide support from Wall Street, advocacy groups, the American people, and politicians. “Billionaires Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and Sheldon Adelson urged congress to regulate the flow of immigrants coming to the United States and provide them a path to citizenship. They highlighted the economic value to the U.S. if lawmakers made it easier for skilled foreigners to work in the country, and the need for dealing with the undocumented population in ways allegedly true to Americas forgiving and generous traditions” (Tonolesen, 1). As recently as the 2014 midterm elections the majority of potential voters were found to support comprehensive immigration reform. As many as forty-four percent of the electorate considered reform an important issue;

Immigration continues to be is a highly controversial topic in the United States of America. At times it seems that the only common ground that can be found is that the United States immigration system is completely and totally broken. After doing only a small amount of research those who may view immigration issues as only the problem of individual immigrants with find that the problem has sweeping influence and vast consequences. Today’s immigration debates continue to center on issues that stem from the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. This legislation ended up being very problematic, and becoming an action that many look back on with regret. After diving into the law itself, the problems surrounding the law, the debate afterwards, and the proposed solutions we will gain clearer insight into the intricacies of the United States immigration debate.

Over the years immigration has been a heavily debated topic, as policymakers consider U.S. labor demands and border security concerns. Immigration reform has escaped Congress for years, moving decisions into the executive and judicial branches of government and pushing the debate into state and municipal governments. Meanwhile the fates of the approximate ten million illegal immigrants in the U.S., as well as future rules for legal migration are undecided. (Cfr.com) President Barack Obama must be the most well-known player in immigration as of right now.

People tend to judge each other based on their ethnicity or religion. Certain groups of people shouldn’t be limited or less valued because of the way they look, or their religion. Trumps immigration law is discrimination against certain religions and countries.

In 2014 there were 24,000 children arrested at the border for trying to enter America illegally("More Children and Teens Crossing into U.S. Unaccompanied." Newsela. ). This shows that more and more people are trying to enter the United States after the immigration reform bill was proposed. The Immigration Reform is supposed to slow down illegal resettlement while broadening the circumstances in which immigrants can come into our country. Obviously this is not the case because before the reform was proposed there was a count of only 13,000 immigrants coming illegally. The immigration reform should not be passed because obviously we have some things we need to straighten out.

Today in the United States, Immigration should be placed as one of the highest priorities. Many immigrants struggle on daily bases hoping that one day there will be a solution to all their problems. Currently, we may hear suggestions or some ideas of ways to solve immigration problems, but we hope to expect changes soon. Within the United States, immigration has been thought as a plague that is rapidly spreading. Even with how immigration is now currently being addressed, new ways to help improve immigration, and how the political system can create alternatives for citizens and immigrants.
