At the time the bill was going through Congress was controlled by Democrats while the White House was Republican (Wiener, 2013). President Bush hoped that a moderate approach would finally allow immigration reform to pass (Weiner, 2013). While the bill was being debated 63% of Americans, almost identical numbers from both parties, favored a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants that passed background checks, had jobs and were willing to pay fines (Heimlich, 2007). With the War in Iraq lowering President Bush’s approval every year he needed a win in the legislative department and with over 50% of voters at the time saying that immigration reform was needed within the year it was clear he needed to back a plan (Heimlich, 2007).

Several attempts have been made to include text from the proposed bill into other pieces of legislation, such as those involving comprehensive immigration reform or within the Department of Defense (Hing 54). The bill has received favor from military leaders, but has been criticized by many other social institutions for being too lenient and susceptible to abuse or violation (Hing 55).

My primary concern for passing this bill is student loan debt. The current student loan debt in the United States is $1.2 trillion and studies show that 70 percent of college students that graduate leave school with student loan debt that averaged $33,000. Currently the class of 2015 is the most indebted class ever because of student loans, and not only are the students in debt but the parents too. Studies have shown that about 17 percent of college graduates have parents with loans out on their behalf because of the extreme cost of a college education. As a student, these outstanding figures are terrifying. Studies have shown that this debt directly correlates with student drop out rate. There are many reasons why students drop out but one

The process for each bill submitted is the same yet different; they all have to be accepted by several offices including the House of Representatives, Senate, and the president. In addition to that, they have to have the public's attention in order to make an impact on whether the bill is approved or not. Issues dealing with immigration are very common and bill H.R 3923, has the attention of representatives in the Senate including its sponsor, Representative Adam Smith, and important interest groups like the

For many in the middle class student debt has a strong and relentless grasp on their economic future. In their article "Why Free Higher Ed Can't Wait" Jeje Biola and Belinda Rodriguez state that, "Student debt has reached a record total of over $1.3 trillion" (6). This has left many people wondering where this is coming from and wanting change. This number is just too high in the minds of the average American.

Candidates such as Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton proved to be a huge push for free tuition. The raising college tuition rates effect all Americans in some form or fashion, so support is quickly rising especially

One of the most popular ideas offered is to increase taxes for the rich in order to reduce interest rates for student loans. This has also been a very popular topic during the Presidential Campaign of 2016. United States Senator Bernie Sanders has proposed an idea in his 2016 presidential campaign that calls for free higher education. His solution urges public colleges and universities to meet the financial need of the lowest-income students. He also proposes that low-income students use state, federal, and institutional aid to cover additional expenses. He has also stated he would like to see an increase in federal aid programs for college students in debt. Another Democrat in the 2016 presidential campaign is Hillary Clinton. She has proposed a higher education plan called “The New College Compact”. "No family and no student should have to borrow to pay tuition at a public college or university, and everyone who has student debt should be able to finance it at lower rates", Clinton stated in speech she gave in New Hampshire. The plan aims at lowering interest rates of current student loans and encourages students to attend and graduate higher education schools.

Some of the policies issued in this new program include making people

This bill removes exemption on university endowments that Democrats say benefits only Hillsdale college. Four Senate Republicans joined with Democrats to strip from the GOP tax bill a last-minute provision that would have shielded Hillsdale College, a prominent conservative school, from a new tax on university endowments. Along with all of the Democrats, our Michigan Senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters both voted yes for the bill. Like the previous one, this particular bill

The legislation was controversial because major changes where going to be made to a policy that had stood for almost forty years.

If tuition rates were to be waived, the government would have to pay for it form taxpayers’ paychecks. “I mean would the federal government tolerate those different ranges or would taxpayers want to see the same tuition rate” (All Things Considered, 2016)? Those who do not have any children or anyone else who in their family who go to college will still have to end up paying extra tax even though they do not benefit from any of it. So, why should they have to pay extra tax money from their hard work earning money? Many people would not agree to it resulting in a lot of conflict.
