• Obama wants to have a crack down on employers hiring illegal immigrants by arranging stronger enforcement at the workplace and at the borderline. His idea is to stop the flow of more immigrants while being kind to the illegal immigrants already living in the U.S. • Obama feels that by increasing the legal fees on immigrants is discriminating against people with good character who don?t have the money to pay for immigration. Instead it would be good to improve the Mexican relationship with the government and use their economy to produce jobs on the other side of the border. • He feels that it is impractical to deport the 12 million illegal immigrants to their countries, but instead it would be better to get them from living in the shadows to the open through the Dream Act by which children of these immigrants, who for no fault of their own, have been born and brought up as Americans, could gain higher education. He says there should be no two classes of citizens in the country. • If every student is allowed to study a second language, English being the main language. English speaking children should be encouraged to study foreign languages because the world is interdependent and bilingual education would help Americans to communication across boundaries. • Obama plans to improve the immigration system by fixing the dysfunctional immigration bureaucracy; bring immigrants out of the shadows by allowing those who are in good standing to pay a fine, learn English and apply for citizenship; work with Mexico to promote economic development which will decrease illegal immigration further. |
