The Pros And Cons Of Obama's Executive Action

Another over reach of power by the Obama administration, he is illegally ignoring congress and magically creates laws, right or wrong, where none existed before. By doing so, he gives zero chance for anyone or any state to debate or object to what he is trying to do, that is why we have a congress.

Executive order is a rule or order issued by the president to an executive branch of the government and having the force of law. Executive Order (EOs) were used since President George Washington but were not mandated to be publicly released until 1900. To date, there have been thirteen thousand eight hundred and seven executive orders. Many argue that these orders are unconstitutional as it gives one-person authority to make changes without consequences and without the consent of Congress. The term executive order is not a principle found within the Constitution. EO is derived from Article II, Section I of the Constitution in which it states, “the executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America”. The term executive power was never defined, leaving it open to the interpretation of each president. That statement coupled with Article II, Section III “he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” has been the backbone of how presidents have been able to create these orders.

As he pointed in a statement released by the White House, “DACA is an unconstitutional exercise of authority; failure to enforce the laws in the past has put our nation at risk of crime, violence and terrorism.” (The New York Times) The controversy between legal status and who are considered citizens of the United States only demonstrates the flaws and complexity of the US constitution. Politicians have been taken advantage of the mistakes portrayed in the constitution as a way to manipulate laws and actions from a racist point view as we are

Despite the years of Republican obstructionism in Congress, as well as a breathtaking lack of respect from his political opponent, President Obama reformed the healthcare and immigration system. President Obama signed the ACA into law in March 2010 and promoted a broad immigration reform. Although it did not become law, the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, (DREAM Act) set the stage for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. “Immigration and Executive Action” article writes:

It’s summertime, and what do we do during summer? Well some us work jobs and others live it up by the pool. If you’re like me the only traveling you're doing this summer is in your dreams and the only surfing you're doing is surfing the web. Summer means many different things and for many it means attending a family reunion. Now family reunions are the best because you can eat tons of food supplied by your grandmama and aunties, kick it with your cousins, and occasionally see grow folks act up. However, some may be forced to put their plans on hold as Donald Trump's new travel ban will go into effect soon.

The word on the hill is that if Republicans don’t cave and fund Obama’s DHS amnesty scheme that they will be blamed by the people and pay for it at the polls. Where have we heard that before?

The arguments against this policy is that Trump made a campaign promise, Obama had abused his authority, and encourages illegal immigration. For starters, the argument of terminating DACA is a campaign promise. President Trump had made in total 60 promises, however not many have been fulfilled. Even so, in keeping his promise he maintains the people’s support. As well as increases the confidence in him and supports the strength in his presidency. In regard to abuse in power, former president Obama had abused his authority and executed a policy that was illegal.Unlike Obama, President

In 1986 Ronald Regan signed into law the Immigration Reform and Control Act, an amnesty act that would alleviate the current immigration problems. Through this law, out of five million illegal immigrants, an estimated four million could have applied to become legal U.S. Citizens. This law was supposed to put a definite stop to illegal immigration into the United States. However, ever since the law was enacted, statistics show that the numbers of illegal immigrants in the United States have ascended from an estimated 5 million in 1986, to about 11 million today. Therefore because of these rising numbers, immigration has been one of the most popular topics in U.S. elections and debates. So on November 20th 2014, President Obama announced to the nation the executive actions that he 's planning to take to fix our nation 's broken immigration system.

Obama did not like what he saw when they did not pass this act. He did not want to see these kids left in the dark he did not want to see them become something other than their best selves so on June 15, 2012 President Obama creates DACA. Now we can answer the big question people have been asking is “What is DACA?” DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. This allowed some people who came into the United states as minors, who came in illegally and remained in the United States received a renewed two year period of “deferred action”. They are able to work with a work permit and they are able to go to school as well. And this policy was made in 2012. The immigrants were only eligible if they came into the United States at or under the age of sixteen. Some criteria that had to be fulfilled for a person to qualify for DACA are: entering the United States with a non

He also said that he was going to use his power of executive orders to reform immigration. If Congress does not make the laws then there are no laws to execute. This executive order may help more than five million “undocumented” immigrates residing in the United States along with countless, “Dreamers” (immigrates brought to the U.S. as children). Mr. Obama believes that the system cannot get much worse and see his executive order as a way to reform. The President reminded the other two branches of the government that Congress is to pass laws while the judiciary has to translate those laws using the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Obama does not intent to change laws concerning immigration but he does plan to use those laws to support undocumented persons and children. The President said, “We didn’t raise the Statue of Liberty with her back to the world; we did it with her light shining as a beacon to the world.” He put Congress and the Courts on notice that he would use his power for reform. The United States supported an immigration bill that mapped out a way for millions of illegal’s a way to become citizens. Most of the

By providing protection to deportation of mostly harmless immigrants that want to live in the U.S. in order to benefit themselves and their families, it will undoubtedly protect undesirable immigrants. For example, what if one of the immigrants that is protected from deportation commits a violent act? The fact of the matter is, that even though Obama's executive actions are mostly beneficial, if enough undesirable immigrants are protected and commit crimes then it would be more harmful than beneficial. Furthermore, if Obama's executive actions protect too many immigrants from deportation, then that could potentially swell the amount of unskilled and uneducated workers in the district, leading to increased crime. Therefore, Obama's executive actions on immigration could cause more harm to the district than benefit if it is not implemented

"Donald Trump's new immigration rules allow for the deportation of more undocumented immigrants than Obama." states 'The Independent' news, and this is a big deal. Undocumented immigrants should not be allowed to stay in the United States without fear of being deported because they do not have the documents needed fro a decent job, some of them engage in many illegal activities, and they add to the dramatic population growth in America.

Immigration Reform Has Been a hot topic lately, President Barack Obama has recently used his power of executive order to give protection to some 5 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States. The program protects about 5 million immigrants from deportation, and allows them to stay and work here legally. There has been a lot of opposition; republicans believe that the president’s action is unconstitutional, and that the president is usurping power from Congress. What the President is trying to do is push congress into taking action, to pass a bill on immigration reform. In whitehouse.gov, they have a section that outlines the president’s plan for immigration reform. They have for points that they want to attain. Immigration reform usually accomplishes most or some of these objectives. One is to reinforce and strengthen border security. Second is to provide a legal way for undocumented immigrants to earn citizenship. Another objective is to crack down on the hiring of undocumented immigrants. Last objective is to make legal immigration simple and efficient. Within these objectives is amnesty. Amnesty is a hotly debated topic in immigration reform. Those who oppose amnesty argue that amnesty rewards lawbreakers, encourages more illegal immigration, and doesn’t help the economy; they think that it does the opposite of that. Those who argue for amnesty argue that it would be beneficial to the economy because of the increase tax revenues they will receive from the

President Obama, favor allowing undocumented immigrants to take steps to legalize their status, and ultimately become U.S. citizens. The U.S. is nothing without immigrants, mostly hispanics which do everything that an American won't do, such as for us like building houses and etc. We all deserve to work, and earn money, and even earn education for a better future for immigrants, you never know that one immigrant has the special education, and power to change the world. Also for better economy for the United states for better living condition for us. For example, as a hispanic man mostly works harder for a state, or city, and making more buildings, or working at a construction, and mechanics that fix cars, who help the people for better living. Some people feel that immigration should not be given citizenship, because America is to full, and not enough jobs, schools are full, also America is too crowded. But you never know if that

I had never heard about executive orders before until this assignment so based on what I saw, my opinion of executive orders is dependent on the president and the specific order. Generally speaking, the whole point of checks and balances is to limit power within the branches of government. However, with the executive order, we are basically giving the executive branch a loophole to all of that. Hopefully we don't ever have a president who would abuse this power in a way that would negatively affect our country, nevertheless should that happen, I think the executive order would become a problem for future presidents. It also depends on the views, as they stated in the MSNBC video, of the person and whether or not their views line up with those
