The U.S.
should support the actions that President Barack Obama is taking to make the immigration
system easy, fair, and success. He said, “Immigrants remain in the shadows.”
Even enough immigrant
people get work permit, they will not receive the same benefits than Americans.
However, immigrant people contribute to the economy in the U.S. They are
employed according to the government I-9s requirement, then they are paying
with check where automatically are take out the taxed for the Social Security
and Medicare.
I think the
U.S. should vote in favor for immigrants to get works permits or permanent
residence or citizenship. Immigrant people are contributing to the economy, looking
better opportunities for a better life, and looking better education for their
children.
Latin people
voted in favor of Back Obama, who deposited their dreams and hopes, to have an
amnesty or work permits to stay legally in this country and have better opportunities
for jobs, education, valid ID’s, and driver’s licenses. But on May 11, 2011, many young students were
benefit with the Dream Act, where they got temporary legal status if they attend
to college, graduate for High School or get a GED in the U.S.
The rest of
the immigrant waited patiently until November 20, 2014 where President Obama announced
new actions to improve an “immigration system more fair and more just.”
The
President Barack Obama gave a great hope for many immigrant people currently
living in the U.S. He also started talking about reinforcement border for
people who are violating the laws. However, he said, “It would have doubled the
number of border patrol agents. While giving undocumented immigrant a pathway
to citizenship if they paid a fine, started paying their taxes, and went to the
back of the line.”
In the article Immigration Enrique You and Me by Nicholas Kristof, New York Times, November 23, 2014. He said, “What most defines the 11 million undocumented immigrants in America is not illegality but undaunted courage and ambition for a better life. What separate their families from most of ours is simply the passage of time --- and the lottery of birth.”
In the same
point with the speech of the President Barack Obama when he said, “My fellow
Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers
once too… That’s the tradition we must uphold. That’s the legacy we must leave
for those who are yet to come.”
According of some points of opponents in the article Immigration Enriches You and Me, “And Harper’s Weekly despair that these immigrants are “stepped in ignorance” and account for a disproportionate share of criminals. I think the President Obama was very clear to explain first about enforcement borders to our security. He said the laws are against “Felons, not families. Criminals, not children. Gang members, not a mother who’s working hard to provide for her kids.”
I know they
are many pros for the U.S. and benefits for immigrant people it they are giving
authorized work permits. On the other hand, Americans can be worried because immigration
can change the jobs where they are now, lost their jobs, or have less wages. But,
I think they are wrong because they are Americans, they are citizens, and immigration
people only are going to have a temporary legal status, such Obama explain only
people who qualify, but it is not a citizenship. Immigrant people will not receive
the same benefits than Americans have. The only grant for immigrant people is that
they are not going to be deported.
Personally,
I would say thank you to the President Obama, for this opportunity where 5,000 million
immigrant people will be benefited, where families will be stay tranquil with
their children in this country, people will have better jobs, education and
better ways of life.
