Hilllary's Immigration Plan

Hillary Clinton's view on immigration varies extremely from Donald Trump's. The two candidates do not show a happy medium solution. Instead they are on different sides of the world showing opposing opinions. This has posed some issues for those trying to select a proper candidate to be our next president. Hillary wants to grant citizenship to millions of illegal residents in the united states because of a possible inconvenience of deportation. The idea of sending all these people away to their homelands seems almost unethical. The reason for them coming to America may be that they want to improve their lifestyles. Our country has always stood for homing immigrants and be a country where someone could be anything. That is true, but in more recent times it seems detrimental. Those who stay in the U.S. illegally create competition for hard working citizens. It appears that Hillary's act of amnesty may provide a solution to the suffocating problem. With the integration of illegal immigrants into the U.S. Hillary wants to disclose the privilege from those who may be a threat to the country. Immigrants who have committed crimes  will be sent away, and families will be united. Hillary's recent purposal draws controversy to her road to election, and it is difficult to say what will happen.

Trial and Error

    Current standpoints of our nation's immigrant problem is at the mercy of media and exploitation. Fingers have been pointed suggesting racism, stupidity, and other various choice words. I have yet to discover a genius pan to overcome this nation's immigration problem. It poses a challenge because when it comes down to it we cannot make everyone happy. My thoughts currently reside in the idea of taking action against this threat. I do not believe in building a ridiculous wall, but I like the idea of  taking a stand. If there is anything to be done it may need to act gently, and proceed from there. Solving immigration will be a trial and error opportunity. Our country is currently residing on top of a foundation of immigrant workers, both legal and illegal. The nation must learn to be adaptive in the weaning process of this change. The government must look into how they treat small businesses. I know of some companies that would take a dive if we made them pay legitimate American workers. The cost of paying wages is much easier to handle when your workers are paid under the table. Our future actions against immigration should be highly thought out, and every consequence considered. This trial and error operation would benefit us. As would looking into reducing, or maintaining, our nation's immigrants.

How I feel looking for articles about Clinton....

Unresolved Tensions

    There is a discussion about how the retired and those on medicare talking about how they will cope if we limit the younger work force. The baby boomer generation is slowly moving into retirement and some believe that if a reform of immigration occurs there will be consequences. It is stated that if we limit legal immigration there will be less young workers to contribute to retirement and medicare. There in fact would be a decrease at the beginning, but eventually workers who were unemployed may have the opportunity to step in. It is discussed as if immigrants make up the majority of our works force. There is a large number participating in our country, but some are illegal too. Once immigration in America is stabilized and reasserted then it may be applicable for alteration. The amount of legal immigrants in the country must be determined by fluctuations in the economy. There are enough eligible Americans to be put to work. After it has been stabilized then the focus will be pointed towards illegal immigrants in the U.S.. They pose a much larger threat then legal immigrants as of right now because of their involvement in our economy. During this time there may be a gap in between limiting immigrant workers and putting Americans first but in the end it will be beneficial to all who reside in the country. It is important that we take care of our people before we accommodate welcome and unwelcome guest.

Immigrants and Our Economy

    Immigrants shaped America. The country that we reside in today is mainly made up of immigrants, or at least descendants. Our country was grown from the sweat and blood forged by willing immigrants from across seas. The worked the land and built up what is now one of the greatest countries on earth. The difference between today and the beginning is that almost all immigrants migrated to the new world legally. They used there skills to settle the West, and today scientist and engineers decorate and strengthen our universities. There is a certain need for them in our society. However, with no demand for low income workers our economy is flooded with immigrants searching for jobs. Wages are driven down to unlivable values, and the American citizen suffers. Businesses are forced to overlook native citizens because they are too costly. They turn to illegal immigrants so hungry for work they will accept jobs with dirt wages no questions asked. Taking advantage of the abundance of people with now citizenship harms poor American citizens who are unable to obtain a job. Our economy is better then it was five years ago, but it is still a lingering problem that has not been avidly addressed by Obama or Bush administrations. As of right now it would be almost guaranteed that any business playing by the rules may collapse. The imbedded immigrants in our society make it difficult to decipher if the economy may be able to get along without them. Hiring such people is almost as degrading as stealing gods from your neighbor. Its disrespectful to the law and also to your fellow neighbor. There is no doubt that current presidential candidate Hilary Clinton has used the appealing story of amnesty to congregate voters to her cause. It seems appealing adopting all of these immigrants but it may be unsuitable and not thought out. On the other end of the spectrum we have this absurd thought of building a wall to keep out intruders. Trump may sound like a mad man at times, but I think he is using the wall as a symbol. America means business and I guess that's his way of projecting that image. I have heard little of Clinton's plans for our immigration situation, but I here different thoughts from Trump every other day. It is hard to decipher who will do better in the aspect of our American well being. I have pushed away my doubts and have decided that Trump may be our last ditch effort in putting change into affect. He is not my favorite person on the planet and I wish there was better options. Clinton is e negative at the moment and there's just something about I truly do not enjoy. Best Luck America.

Beyond Mexico

    America's immigration problem recently has been a star in the presidential campaign. There has been media portraying racism among political candidates. There is a picture that has been painted in America that makes Mexico look like the bad guy. Presidential candidate, Donald Trump, has been compared to Hitler or Stalin with his immigration policy arising. Media has made it seem as though we hate Mexico, and they are where all the immigrants are coming from. The truth of the matter is that they only make up a small portion of illegal immigrants in the U.S.. Our neighboring country to the south is a mere sliver of our immigration policy. Studies show that 13 percent of illegal immigrants are Asian. The problem does not just lie within Mexico and their illegal border jumpers. It has to do with all races trying to illegally integrate themselves into the country. These people are overstaying their welcome and are having an impact on the economy. There is some symbolic gain in building a wall, but action must be taken beyond our Mexican borders.

Trump Softening His Views?

    After making his speech in Arizona, Trump has decided to soften his immigration policy. He has suggested that there will be a different path for immigrants in the U.S. in the future. The main focus for him now would be to stop illegal immigration and rid the country of those who have committed crimes or overstayed their visas. In previous speeches he proclaimed that all illegal immigrants would have to leave the country and get in line to obtain legal citizenship. Mass deportation of all immigrants didn't sit well with some voters. Now he is suggesting that if they are law abiding citizens in U.S. then they may be welcome to stay. As of right now it is not an immediate plan to make it it easier for these people to integrate, but to stop the illegal immigration. His stance on the matter is softening with every passing week. Trump seems to be adopting different outlooks to please more voters. As of right now it is somewhat confusing.

The only immigration plan

    In the past there have notably been many political thoughts on stopping immigration. They claim to turn to hard enforcement and get in done now. Obviously it has become a prominent issue in today's debate. It has always been present, but seems to have evaded prosecution. There are some 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States today. This posing threat has taken its toll on the economy and America's hard working individuals. Presidents and candidates claim to make it a priority. They make statements saying they will build walls and deport these people in mass quantities. It has yet taken full effect, and even though their statements are hopeful they seem to turn at some point. The immigration problem is used to obtain votes, and to get into office. Then in office it pose as a serious goal for a brief period then die down to nothing but a thought. Why is it such a hard thing to do? Even hard asses, like Donald Trump, seem to change their stance the further they go. His has lightened slightly, but his plan still remains. If he is elected into office he claims that we will build a wall. If this task can be pulled off I would greatly welcome him into office. I consider my sanity at times choosing either of the current candidates, but I want to see some action. 
    Countries like Israel have experienced a decline in terrorist attacks since the building of their wall. The construction of the triple fence, outside of San Diego, has shown a 90 percent reduction in infiltration. Walls are symbolic. They seem to make a statement saying keep out we mean business. The solution seems to be simple. Keep illegal immigrants out, and deal with the ones that are already inside. The debate seems to arise from the democratic party about what we must do with the 11 some odd million people that are already here. Hillary takes a stand to embrace and take care of these unfortunate souls. Let them come and we will embrace. There was a thought about adopting Reagan's solution, and close our borders and integrate these people. Back in those days there were only about 3 million, and now we have 11. For me that is too many. We cannot let this slide like its nothing. 
     The ones entering our country seem to be rotten. Law abiding citizens would most likely want to stay in their home country to make it better. The unruly and troubled would want to leave and go towards different countries. Not all may be bad people but misinformed. There is a problem with any type of illegal immigration,and it must be dealt with. I don't think that ridding the entire country of illegal immigrants will benefit us entirely. I think that immigration must be monitored and must fluctuate with the current economy. In other words we should consider having a steady amount of immigrants. Work visas should be easily obtained, but deportation a threat. 
    There is no reason this topic has been danced around and milked for years. It is an internal problem that affects our whole country. There is a solution. We must grit our teeth as a united country and agree to take care of this. Lets not leave it up for discussion anymore. I want to see something happen.

Clinton's Immigration

    With some 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States the debate about immigration is on everyone's mind. Trump has taken the stern standpoint of limit immigration and hold no amnesty. Clinton on the other hand seems to be taking the love and embrace stance. Her thoughts on immigration have lessened now, but she still makes comments stating how good immigrants are for the economy. Her idea is basically an open door policy. Let everyone in if they are willing to work. She claims there will be no break ups of families and becoming a citizen will be much easier.  She also claims to use executive orders to shield illegal immigrants from deportation. Clinton's claims of economic benefits from immigration are valuable, but Bernie Sanders warns that higher immigration levels depress wages. With that, a recent poll taken shows that Americans either want to decrease immigration levels of maintain them. This creates a new issue in the future no matter who wins the election.

New Target for TRump

    Recently Trump has visited the Mexican president, and made his speech about immigration. In previous times Trump's idea has been to completely stop immigration. I have little in depth knowledge as to what he has previously said, but from word of mouth I have gathered that he is anti-immigration. Currently our country seems to be swamped in illegal immigrants and limited jobs. It seems that every blue-collar worker is being cheated from their lively hoods. There are facts stating that immigration is at its all time high since the 1920's. Trump made his speech in Arizona where he proclaimed the idea of limiting immigration into the United States. Many previous contenders have taken amnesty against people living in the U.S. without legal documentation. Many supporting favor utilizing legal immigration and argue that it helps the economy. On the opposing side they argue that it drives wages down. Trump thinks that all immigration in the country should be limited. He also wants to focus the immigration system on high skilled laborers. This is a new idea has thought to never have been said because of backing previous candidates have. Trump is his own man with his own money so he can say whatever he wants. There are differentiating opinions following this proclamation. Mostly economist say that immigration is good for the economy, and in turn others say it hurting blue-collar workers. I think that each go with the territory. There must be a balance to both help our national occupants both in self and as a country. There is no doubt that our country is growing, and a solution now would be better than later.

Trump to visit Mexican President

    Reading articles about Trump and Hillary is slowly progressing my distaste for the both of them. There are millions in the United States and we have these two. Donald trump is set to have a private meeting with Mexico's president before he makes his immigration speech. In the past he has claimed that he will build a wall at the border, and prevent any illegal immigration. This idea is appealing to some because they think that this will solve the lack of jobs problem. In reality it may make a dent and provide work for many U.S. citizens, but it also could have a negative impact. If we rid all illegal immigrants from the United States there may be an increase in produce prices. I know from a agricultural background that many farms employees are illegal immigrants. They are cheap labor and that's the reason fruits, vegetables, etc., are the price they are. Trump is not popular with the Latino people. The president of Mexico has stated him equal to Adolf Hitler, and believes his intentions to be sinical. I have problems with both Hillary and Donald. Each like to use fears and simpleminded ideas to gain votes. There is no meat to their claims. We will see what his speech has to offer in the next few days. Maybe he will flip his ideas, and maybe flop his voters.

"ISIS Spokesman Killed in Aleppo."

    Mohammed al-Adnani predominatly served Isis as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's right hand man. Baghdadi currently resides in head commander and public of Isis, while Adnani sat as wing man. Al-Adnani had been with Isis for a while. He started out as a young fighter and slowly moved up in the ranks with his impressive leadership skills. It is believed that he was the commander of lone wolf attacks North America, Australia, and Europe. Isis reported that he had been injured in and airstrike, and had died. "Without confirming al-Adnani's death, a senior Pentagon official confirmed that coalition forces conducted an airstrike Tuesday morning in al Bab, Syria, targeting an ISIS leader." At least American forces are not counting him as dead. Though ISIS claims that he has flown into the clouds with other fearless leaders, there still is skepticism. If this were a true event then it would be considered a win for coalition forces. Adnani could be considered more dangerous then Baghdadi because of his oversight of outside attacks. He helped conduct the attack on Paris, and could have easily of moved his attention to America. Even though the airstrike seemed to be focused toward Baghdadi, it still may have made an impact. The death of al-Adnani would be considered in greater or equal magnitude. With this, the pentagon is still assessing the results.
