Pros And Cons Of Elizabeth Redden
Donald Trump Extinguished DACA which caused the removal of education, employment and opportunity for the "dreamers"; Young immigrants were brought to America for political, economic and social freedom. Furthermore, Elizabeth Redden states that is "creates great uncertainty for the roughly 800,000 young people currently enrolled. According to her statement, the removal of the safety blanket(DACA) for young immigrants ignited a deadly flame that could potentially destroy the future in America. To represent Hector Barrett's point of view by supporting Redden, "to exploit immigration as a political wedge issue...would be both bad government and bad politics...The winding down of DACA is the perfect time for Congress to develop effective, compassionate

    Robert G. Gonzales, an assistant professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education and author of “Lives in Limbo: Undocumented and Coming of Age in America.”(2016) argues that the United States needs immigration reform to bring immigrants and their families out of the shadows, to recognize their deep community connections and economic contributions, and to build a strong American society. As Gonzales interviews students on how DACA (Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals) helped them they believe that “DACA beneficiaries helped obtained new jobs and paid internships and had increased their earnings.” (3) As said in the article DACA has given insurance, and letting the DACAmented being able to get a Driver’s License.

    Most people assume all immigrants in America came illegally and are only of one race coming. Immigrants should have the chance to prove all these things themselves, but with the new Trump administration’s thoughts on not renewing the DACA that chance is lost. The DACA should be renewed because immigrants not only help the American economy, but to show the world they are not their country’s mistakes…

    Trump wants to end DACA. I think that he shouldn’t end DACA.The DACA program allows undocumented young adults work in the country legally. DACA was an Obama-era program. “The DACA program, announced by President Obama in June, 2012, provided recipients with protection from deportation for two years, which could be renewed, and allowed them to work(Alvarez, 3). I think that Trump is scared of undocumented people and what they could become. If they are continued allowance in the U.S. Immigration Services and U.S. Citizenship gave work to thousands of undocumented immigrants giving them the ability to work, to make something of themselves. The executive branch has legal authority to implement DACA. More than 100 law professors signed a letter…

    The debate over the United States immigrant policy has been going an issue since the first immigrant stepped foot in America. Many Americans believe that it is unfair that people from other countries can come to America and take opportunities from people born in America. Arnold Schwarzenegger writes, An Immigrant Writes, to shed some light on his belief that our policy should be revised to help both immigrants and Americans. Mr. Schwarzenegger’s article, An Immigrant Writes, was a compelling argument but was not successful because of his lack of ethos, detail, and refutation.…

    Tension among white Americans and immigrants has always been evident, however, the nationalistic standpoint on this issue has become increasingly vocal since the recent election. Nationalistic political actions, specifically the increase of deportation, forces America to take a step back from the modern world, which will subsequently deplete them. Recently, U.S. president, Donald Trump announced that the administration would be ending DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, created by the former president, Barak Obama (Kopan 2017). Mixed responses were received following the announcement; 71% of Republicans who support Trump believed it to be just while the rest were against so (Kurtzleben 2017). Hobsbawm (1992: 170) commented that nationalism…

    “I felt I was finally given a decent chance to be somebody in this country,” said Jamie Rangel when Obama announced DACA. There are many children that do not have a say in where they are born or where they are brought. Many children are born in another country, but are raised in the U.S. illegally. Children who were brought here illegally should not be punished for something they could not change. DACA gives these children a chance for a better life and more opportunities with them not having to leave.…

    DACA Should Be Abolished

    • 288 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The DACA program should be ended and Congress should develop a new law to address these immigrants. They are checked for any criminal history or threat to national security, and they must be students or have completed school or military service. If they pass this check up, they can avoid being deported, or sent home, for two years, and will be able to apply again. If the immigrants don’t pass the check up, they are not allowed to enter America. To be eligible, an illegal immigrant had to enter the country as a minor and be under the age of 31 as of the day Obama signed the order. They also must have a largely-clean criminal record. The program does not give legal status or citizenship to those who use it, it merely defers deportation for two years and grants eligibility for a work permit. It takes a long time to get immigrants registered to come to America. This could cause some complications when the immigrants enter America because if you are over the age of 31, the immigrants would get really mad and maybe try to sue the government. If you have traveled during the past five years, the travel must have been "brief, casual and innocent" to avoid interrupting your continuous presence. This standard is used in other parts of immigration law so there is some reasonable guidance on this.…

    The Heritage Foundations, Tim Kane, Ph.D., writes “America’s exceptional status as a ‘nation of immigrants’ is being challenged by globalization. The biggest challenge for policy makers is to distinguish illusory immigration from real problem. The supported approach from recent years ‘a policy of benign neglect’ is no longer an option.” Members from the Senate and House of Representatives both recognize this and should be given credit for their efforts to craft this proposed comprehensive law which today, is known as the ‘Amnesty Plan.’ I strongly agree with this ‘Amnesty Plan’ and feel it needs to be pushed through due to its solid pillars. Such as, having undocumented aliens to pay fines, back taxes, and requiring them to understand and abide by the laws of the U.S.. It also addresses border security and identity theft by illegals that use false information to gain employment.…

    Immigration policy is one topic that has been very frequently debated recently and has become one of the deciding factors for many Americans when it comes to the presidential elections this November. The reason behind this is that the immigration population has reached more than 42 million people that comprise 13 percent of the entire population . They have become more influential in our politics and economy by contributing nearly 15% of the total economic output and this has led to new legislation from the President such as DACA and DAPA which hopes to keep more immigrants in the country and allow them to contribute to economy further. There is the argument however, that these immigrants are taking jobs from Americans and contributing to…

    Recently here in America, many citizens are still in loathe of us immigrants, especially the president, Trump. He dislikes the fact that different backgrounds are flourishing in this country and will stop at nothing until we're all gone. He criticizes all of us together with one’s mistake and label us, “rapists and criminals” even though he has no idea why most of us choose to come because some are here as refugees escaping from violent places to seek safety, while the majority of us like you and I, mom, are hoping to pursue the American Dream by working hard day and night until it becomes a reality.…

    Immigration reform

    • 647 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Immigration reform is a widely debated topic that affects the lives of every citizen whether they are for, against or indifferent to the issue. The United States needs a new immigration policy that is based less on wishful thinking and more on realism. Spending vast sums of money trying to enforce arbitrary numerical limits on immigration that bear no relationship to economic reality is a fool’s errand. We need flexible limits on immigration that rise and fall with U.S. labor demand, coupled with strict enforcement of tough wage and labor laws that protect all workers, regardless of where they were born. We need to respect the natural human desire for family reunification, while recognizing that even family-based immigrants are unlikely to come here if jobs are not available. And we need to create a pathway to legal status for unauthorized immigrants who are already here so that they can no longer be exploited by unscrupulous employers who hang the threat of deportation over their heads.…
