Hillary Clinton Immigration Reform Research Paper

Decent Essays
Hillary Clinton is an advocate for a fair and just immigration system. She explains that instead of breaking up the law-abiding immigrant families who have enhanced America for years, we should be able to grant them a path to citizenship. Correspondingly, Clinton will continue to support the passing of a comprehensive immigration reform that provides a path to citizenship, treats every person with respect, maintains the rule of law, defends and protects our borders and national security, and most importantly to bring in millions of hardworking people into the economy. Additionally, she will support the parents of DREAMers and others who have contributed positively to their communities and hopefully allow them to be eligible for the same opportunities

    I do my best to not judge a political figure based on their party affiliation. My dislike of Betsy DeVos has nothing to do with her party preferences; it has everything to do with her political opinions and experiences. As someone raised by two public school teachers and educated on how our school systems work, this woman's policies make me nervous. I have yet to see any piece of information that could possibly change my mind.…

    The objective of this research paper will be to examine three main ideas in regards to the undocumented immigrants. First, the social and economic stakes concerning the undocumented immigrants, particularly the ones who want to reach their American dream coming from Mexico and Latin America, in the American soil.

    What is DACA? DACA is known as the Deferred Act of Childhood arrival that has helped many immigrants go to school, find a job, and live the American Dream. DACA (the Dream Act) should not be repealed because, even though some people believe that “dreamers” are a drain on the US economy, this act has helped over 800,000 people, everyone in this country deserves a chance at a good education whether they are a citizen or not, “dreamers” have lived their whole lives in this country, and repealing it would separate “dreamers” from their families and the only country they have ever known. DACA is a policy former President Obama brought into action June as of 2012. The purpose of this policy was to help certain undocumented young people who entered…

    Open immigration should be allowed to continue in the United States without being condemned or restricted. Ever since September 11 happened, some Americans have been under the impression that all immigrants are dangerous. They do not want any immigrants in the U.S. and feel that they should be deported. These Americans who feel this way use excuses such as, immigrants take away our jobs and our health care. These excuses show what little knowledge Americans have about immigrants.…

    Hillary Clinton states that “Democrats believe we need to urgently fix our broken immigration system—which tears families apart and keeps workers in the shadows—and create a path to citizenship for law-abiding families who are here, making a better life for their families and contributing to their communities and our country” (www.demconvention.com). “We should repeal the 3-year, 10-year and permanent bars, which often force persons in mixed status families into the heartbreaking dilemma of either pursuing a green card by leaving the country and their loved ones behind, or remaining in the shadows” (www.demconvention.com). The 3-year, 10-year and permanent bars “impose re-entry bars on immigrants who are present in the U.S. illegally for a period of time, leave the U.S., and want to re-enter lawfully” (www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org). Democrats seem to take into consideration that they have good reasons for coming here, sometimes that is overlooked. Republicans, on the other hand, want to make the process longer.…

    When you think of the word “immigrant,” your first thought may be a Mexican swimming across the Rio Grande or climbing the wall between Mexico and the United States, or maybe even the Trump wall. In actuality, immigrants are no different than any legal person, just that they were born in a different country and didn’t move to the United States legally. You aren’t able to tell if someone is an immigrant just from looking at them. In fact, despite the common stereotype that most, if not all, illegal immigrants are from Mexico or other hispanic countries, South Koreans are the fifth largest group of illegal immigrants in the United States of America.…

    The American government, under president Hoover at the time, organized massive deportation campaigns that heavily impacted the well-being of both Mexican nationalists as well as American citizens of Mexican descent, seemingly casting a cloud of fear over the United States during the early 1930s. In the early twentieth century, the immigration of Mexicans to the United States was greater than ever. Due to the industrial growth at the time, Mexicans were invited by the United States government to immigrate to the United States and work. As many crossed the border in search of the higher wages that much of Mexico’s current economy could not offer them, this pattern of immigration was put into reverse by the Great Depression with the number of…

    Immigration is a very perplexed issue that can only be addressed appropriately by the federal government. Article I Section 8 of the Constitution clearly states the federal government was given the power to “establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization.” () Immigration legislation requires a substantial amount of funds, a vast personnel and most importantly time. Clearly the states want to find a resolution to this enormous problem, but allowing the states to “experiment with immigration policy” is too risky (Jacoby). Immigration reform is urgent, without it many families are dealing with deportation and separation of loved ones and being returned to countries that poverty stricken and/or violent.…
