The United States believes potential terrorists may seek assistance of human traffickers to infiltrate our borders. Intelligence collected from domestic and international communities has proven this to be a fact. In this case the border patrol could be faced with a new problem like smugglers becoming potential terrorist partners. If the border patrols main intent was to shift the criminal activity why weren’t they prepared to handle the rise of criminals in surrounding areas?

    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).

    For years, America has been known as The Great Melting Pot. This is due to the mass amounts of immigrants that have congregated in the country since the 18th century. Immigration is what has defined America since its beginning: America began growing from the Quakers and Protestants that fled England from the religious oppression that they faced there.

I believe that many people have an overwhelming expectation about America and take the notion of it being a free state to literally. Countless of immigrants minds assume that once they move to America they will have the opportunity, the success, the romance, and when it is all said and done several immigrants just think of America as an utter disappointment.…
