Immigration reform
In 2013 President Obama gave his second presidential inaugural speech. During his address the words “Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity.” This stuck with us because it is such a relevant topic in Salinas. It seems that everybody knows someone who has struggled obtaining a visa or green card. So we decided that it will be perfect to analyze what President Obama has done to make the process more efficient to allow immigrants to become citizens. Families all over the United States live a happy, peaceful life like a normal family should. However, not all families have the same luck as others do. These people known as immigrants are fighting for a happy and normal life. The reason that they are not living a normal life is because when they came to the U.S they risk everything for the hope of improving their lives for the better. The only obstacle that is preventing them to have that life is immigration laws. The situation right now is that the immigration laws are not helping immigrants pretty much do anything like get proper jobs, go back to their home country without being deported and even get a proper education. This isn’t a new problem just happening right now or a few years ago this has been happening for hundreds of years in the United States, which is why it needs to stop. This problem has affected many people of different races from all over the world for the past 200 years. That is why I believe that immigration laws should be reformed because people come to the United States for a fresh start and due to the immigration system being broken that is preventing millions of families to have a normal life like the other families that were born in the United States. This problem’s solution is not just benefiting the families but the Unites States as well.
Immigration hasn’t been the easiest problem that the United States had to...
