One of the biggest problems in the U.S. today is illegal immigration. This topic seems to split U.S. citizens because lots of views are completely different. One popular view that is often misconceived thinks America hates immigrants and wants to deport them all. The opposing popular view thinks immigrants are root of our problems and cause all the trouble lately. Whether you have a different view than these or not illegal immigration needs to come to an end.

I feel if we let young illegal immigrants stay in America because they don’t get in trouble, it sends the wrong message. It will seem to other people outside the U.S. that if you immigrate illegally to America your children will still be able stay. Also, the children who are very young when they immigrate illegally get older, they will think it is okay to illegally immigrate. They might not understand or care about the criteria they have to follow. Thus, resulting in more illegal immigration, border security, and money we have to spend on both these things. I am not against immigration, I just think we shouldn’t let illegal immigrants get off so easy. The U.S. should encourage legal immigration and not be so forgiving to illegal families.
Another executive action involving deportation plans is the DAPA program, which was announced in November of 2014. The DAPA program stands for deferred action for parental accountability. This program allows for certain parents, who meet a certain criteria, to apply for and be granted Deferred Action. Similar to the DACA program, if an immigrant doesn’t get into any serious trouble, has a job they can live off of, and is a parent they can apply for this
