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.
