The Pros And Cons Of Responsible Capitalism

Improved Essays
Altruistic Democracy looks at leadership and the influence that people perceived to be leaders or famous public officials and how they influence others. In these articles, President Donald Trump and his opinions on immigration are mentioned more than anyone else, in addition to his name in the headline. President Trump is a famous leader, a person that many are interested in and a name that will sell, therefore used in the news. If a lesser name had been used in the headlines, many would not have recognized it or been as inclined to read on and see what it was about. Responsible Capitalism suggests that there is an optimistic faith toward society and that people will only compete with each other for the good of all and refrain from anything that will exploit others. In the immigration policies, not all public officials are being honest or efficient with their plans. Dreamers and DACA will not benefit from the proposed Republican plan, but those who wish to build a wall and increase border security to keep immigrants out will benefit. Here, there is a very one-sided benefit, but also something that could cause issues for many – which draws interest from readers creating a newsworthy story. Individualism …show more content…
This article was much more anti-Trump. The article starts out saying that President Trump called lawmakers to oppose bipartisan approaches to immigration and find a solution to dreamers, suggesting that he only would agree with his own plan, putting the Senate into deadlock. Throughout the article, there is negative emphasis on statements President Donald Trump has made about the issue, appeals to make the reader want to support the dreamers rather than President Trump’s four pillars of his plan and a suggestion that this plan has become a fight between Republicans and Democrats rather than what is best for the American public to come together and

    Even if the advocates of the DREAM Act would promote deporting future immigrants, people would wonder why the recipients of the DREAM Act were granted citizenship and yet citizenship will be denied to all other illegal immigrants. The DREAM Act insufficiently deals with the United States’ problem of illegal immigrants while presenting contradiction for the future options, contrary to the Act’s own goal. The DREAM Act may help to improve the lifestyle of the illegal immigrants, but in the process, American citizens will only end up hurting through their economy, education, and eventually the future of immigration. It will be rewarding the undocumented parents who committed an illegal act, an act undoubtedly committed for the sake…

    It failed to direct its attention or focus to convince the naysayers by counter arguing their points. It did a good job at addressing the benefits of the DREAM Act, but it didn 't do anything to convince me that the weak points within the act isn 't an issue that is worthy of being addressed or fixed. The structure of the article is not bad, but it kept reader guessing about what they would be reading about next instead of informing them directly. The Chicago Tribune does nothing that helps fix the imperfections of the act, so its argument is not truly an argument because of its lack of counterargument.…

    The article “Miscalculation on Visas Disrupts Lives of Highly Skilled Immigrants” (2015), by Julia Preston, states the State Department and Homeland Security allowed the department to give anticipating immigrants news of them being able to take the next step to obtain a green card. The author provides background information about the situation, along with reasons as to why the incident occurred, and its impact on immigrants. Preston attempts to inform about the episode and provide an explanation to the immigrants involved, through the use of rhetorical appeals. Preston establishes ethos before the article starts, as she is a reporter of a reputable newspaper, which gives her credibility. She starts off her article powerfully by providing context for those who are unaware of the situation; in the beginning of September, the State Department told thousands of highly skilled legal immigrants that they “would be able to advance early to the next step: filing a formal application.”…

    He defended his example by stating that all advocates claim that infants and toddlers were brought here very young, yet the student body president at Fresno State University, Pedro Ramirez was revealed to have arrived in the United States illegally at the age of 3 in the new bill introduced by Pelosi and Reid. The authors’ second example claims the new bill allows massive fraud. He claims that during the amnesty process the bill measure prohibits fraud investigation. The last example the author uses are the children who were legalized, their parents or relatives are put in limbo by only receiving green cards to work in the United States and eventually citizenship would be abolished for all legal immigration for family members other than spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens. These three examples the author uses are reasons why he feels the 2010 Dream Act bill is flawed and unless revised will not…

    Amarjit Singh Political Science The weekly article that I choose to read from the website ccn.com was called “Trump order construction of border wall, boost deportation force”. The article was about President Trump keeping his promise during his campaign to build a border wall to help keep illegal immigrants out of the United States. In addition, president Trump signed two executive orders enforcing the construction of a wall between Mexico and United States, while increasing the number of border patrol force to assist keeping illegal immigrant out of United States territory.

    Trump believes that illegal immigration is destroying U.S. taxpayers, and he believes that neither Republicans nor Democrats are helping the situation. Republicans don’t do anything about illegal immigration because some of their business supporters want cheap labor. Democrats look at illegal immigrants as potential Democratic voters (135-136). Both Democrats and Republicans may have their reasons for illegal immigrants to stay, but Donald Trump thinks that the parties need to put America’s interests first and that illegal immigrants need to return from whence they came. Trump then continues to discuss that illegal immigrants are by definition, lawbreakers, and refers to them as “illegal aliens” due to the fact that illegal immigrants are often members or violent gangs.…

    With the 2016 United States presidential election approaching, an abundance of people are considering the various political and economic theories that each candidate seems to uphold. For example, Bernie Sanders is a widely-known candidate who advocates for socialism, a theory based on equality of opportunity. He has brought back a theory most politicians have thrown to the wayside, and it has even been considered a ‘dead’ theory. The voting population is looking at these seemingly new political ideas, and reevaluating the capitalist political systems that have been maintained throughout the nation for years. This is seen through a political, economic, and social lens, because these two systems have untold effects on society as a whole, as the…

    Republicans would slow down the legalization process for two million illegal immigrants, who would have to wait at least twenty years and five million illegal immigrants with legal statuses may not obtain citizenship (Preston 3). Although Republicans do not oppose clearly to legalization , they do not want to legalize all illegal immigrants , helping only the ones with a great chance of becoming a US citizen in the future.(Preston 2) On the other hand, according to The Republican’s bill , which is supported by conservative minds , it is only willing to give citizenship to the immigrants taken as kids into the US illegally. In regards to its economical effects , ‘’CBO estimates that the Rubio bill would boost gross domestic product by 3.3 percent between 2013 and 2023’’(Cost 1). As president Obama states , ‘’ It is just not practical to deport eleven million undocumented immigrants living within our borders’’ (Proposals 1).…
