The Pros And Cons Of Presidential Candidates

Immigration issues have been a problem throughout history. This Society holds different perceptions on the topic. Some people favor the flow of immigrants while others oppose it. Immigration is a social problem that must constantly be reviewed due to the complexity of the problems. In this situation, different factors such as the quality of life for immigrants, how they impact the economy, how the implementation of policies would benefit them, have to be taken into consideration. Immigration policies affect all aspects of today’s society. The key figures in the immigration issue are immigrants, documented/undocumented, political figures.

In 1792, the world’s oldest political party, the Democratic Party, was founded. During the presidency of President Andrew Jackson in 1830, the party adopted its name as the Democratic Party as it is known now. Prior to the renaming of the party, it was known as the Democratic-Republican Party founded by James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson in opposition of the Federalist Party. The Democratic Party’s purposed served to supported states’ rights and the strict interpretation of the Constitution (Mayne, 1). Correspondingly, providing financial support to family based agriculture was one of their main priorities (Mayne, 1). The Federalist Party, their opposition, consisted of wealthy elites that strived, and fought for one strong all ruling national government, rather than state governments. As the United States had just recently become independent, the Democratic-Republican Party was determined to prevent the United States from becoming a monarchy. Over the next century, the Democratic-Republican party began to split due to the lack of agreement on major ideas which led to the current two-party system. However, some ideologies remain the same such as moral stance, and socioeconomic status. Other ideologies like economic view and stance on government power have caused this split between the Democratic and Republican parties (Mayne, 22). It is imperative to remember that even though these two parties are completely different, they originated from the same party with one main goal; “To create a government that is run for and by its people” (Mayne, 23). I have still not developed a political identity, but over the past three years of my residence in the United States, I am more in favor of the Democratic Party and what they stand for.

Have you ever considered the American government is corrupt, even though they claim to uphold certain American values? The two-party system is just that: corrupt. Right now, the government offers two parties, and even though it has its benefits, it has a lot more weaknesses.  Although the two-party system offers stability and accessibility for citizens, it is broken and needs to be drastically changed for the government to be actually of the people, by the people, for the people.

A Political Party is defined as “a formal coalition of interests joined together to get their candidates for public office elected under a common label and agenda.” Political Parties, over time, have seemed to do more harm than good for our nation. The founders of America never even intended for this nation to be separated into two different Political Parties. “There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.” John Adams, The Works Of John Adams, Second President Of The United States.

On a side note, I'm happy to say that a good portion of Sanders' supporters I've met at campaign events are completely dissatisfied with the Democratic Party. At several events, event organizers have asked those in attendance, "Who will vote for Hillary if Bernie doesn't get the nomination?" More often than not, at least half the room doesn't raise their hands.

Since the topic of immigration has become of broad and current interest, so have the different policies Democrats and Republicans tend to favor in regards to this issue. Switching from an eight year democratic, and mostly liberal influence, 2016 rang in the era for the Republicans, a mostly conservative direction. When it comes to the issue of immigration, the division between voters and non voters is not as clear as the division between party lines, which leads to immigration policy continually changing according to which party is in power. Consequently, immigration policy is dependant on what party is in power and/or office. Voter and non-voter demographics vary and are constantly changing as more Millennials and Generation Z reach the voting age. In the recent general election, republican

Immigration issues have been in the news; and have been debated by politicians. Political parties over the years have been vocal in voicing their concerns about American immigration (Russit, 2013).

Policies are pivotal implementations put in place by the government on local, state, and federal levels. There are endless amounts of policies enacted by the American government, with many of these policies directly influencing the lives of citizens. As the 2016 Presidential Election draws near, understanding the policies projected by each presidential candidate is essential to making an educated decision when it comes to voting for the future condition of the United States. The two primary candidates for the upcoming election, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton propose policies and plans that are in opposition to one another. One of the policies that is receiving a great deal of attention in the media right now is the issue of immigration. This issue poses a difficult question regarding how to address the presence of illegal immigrants in the United States. On one hand, immigration supports the rights of immigrants, but on the other hand, this policy limits opportunities for Americans. Due to my lack of knowledge in the area of immigration, I have decided to further investigate this issue in order to understand how Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton plan to address immigration if they are elected to office. Each candidate has plentiful ideas regarding immigration that will result in a number of benefits and/or consequences for both Americans and immigrants. Besides solely looking at the positions held by the

Immigration has played a huge role in settling America. Once known as “the melting pot” America has a wider diverse population. The history of immigration is what built America and created that diversity. Over the last 150 years, immigration laws have been enacted and changed to meet the demands of the influx of immigrants. Both Republicans and Democrats see immigration as a political battlefield. Each party blames the other for the lack of cooperation and lack of progress in passing legislation. Obama has used immigration as one of his main platforms in his campaign to become president. Obama’s immigration policies have shocked America recently in the news. Lastly, I will discuss my views on immigration and what I think our politicians should do to improve on policy and reform.

Everyone is most definitely ready for a change. It’s just I’m not sure how these changes are going to be obtained. A third-party candidate could actually have a chance at winning the popular vote. However, when it comes to the electoral college and their votes that is where the problem lies. Then, comes the ever popular resource in politics which is money. Funding the campaign to go up against republican and democratic nominees wouldn’t be cheap.

THE IMMIGRATION DEBATE, once again at the center of U.S. politics, was accelerated by the success of president Obama winning more than 70% of the Latino and Asian vote in the 2012 elections. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s call for all 11 million undocumented immigrants to “self deport” was a significant reason for his defeat. Latinos are the largest ethnic minority in the country — and growing rapidly — and more and more of them vote.

They can additionally focus on changing people minds who previously didn’t support them. Incumbents can show how they have already done well completing their past goals and with their support can complete future ones. The support base will not only campaign, but also reinforce how the incumbent has helped and benefited them. Incumbents can do statistically analyzes of the economy before and after their term or testimonial on how they personally aided the voters. How the public’s unemployment rate dropped or high school’s dropout rate has decreased are some examples an incumbent can show? Incumbents also have disadvantages when it comes time for running for

Immigration is a controversial topic that has impacted our society for decades perplexed by policies media coverage, perceptions based on one’s own lack of knowledge, personal experiences and a host of other factors that influence how our society views immigrants and immigration policies. The United States is a diverse population of people and filled with experiences that come from various walks of life that contribute to enhancing our social culture, economic development, and cultural acceptance.

The Candidates in an election should be nominated by utilizing the Electoral College. All though some faults can be found, three of my pivotal points yield further details why it is desperately needed, and are as follows. Initially, it amplifies authority and influence the smaller states have in election. Second, the electoral college supports more person to person branding, compelling candidates to spend time and money on big cities and small cities alike. Concussively, it provides the political stability our corrupt country is desperate need of, discouraging third parties. Clearly, with out this detailed structure, our country’s election would be overrun, and would exclude the “unneeded” states. In addition allowing just about anyone

Well let me be the one to tell you that, your votes don’t vote for a president, but rather an individual who will cast a ballot and those individual choose the president. This is done because of the constitution, with the Electoral College. Also, politicians seem like they are for the people, but they cater to a certain group of people. Those people are the rich and corporation since they determine who will win elections, which might seem absurd, but with super pacs they can donate as much money as possible to a certain campaign. Since they donate so much, politicians cater to their needs so they can get money. To make matter even worse, their only two major candidates each year one which is a democrat and the other a republican. So now people
