US Immigration

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a program that allows young people who are non-U.S children come to the country and stay permanently under protection from deportation. The program was launched by President Barack Obama in 2012, and it has created a lot of opportunities for children to live, to stay, to work in the U.S for a better life. The program, however, does not provide a pathway to citizenship, and people who enroll in have to extend their status every two years. Since Trump administration put an end mark in 2017, there is no new applicants have been accepted but immigrants who already have status are still able to renew it until the Supreme Court issues a final ruling. Personally, I think that the program should not be terminated due to several reasons below. First of all, in order to receive DACA status, applicants have to go through a long, difficult process including steps of background and criminal records check. Therefore, those are the ones come to this

In response to Estrella's post about "Should We Impeach Donald Trump ?", I totally agree with your opinion about how Donald Trump should be impeached. Since he became the U.S president, Donald Trump only acts based on his self-interest, but not for the entire nation and its citizens. It is unacceptable that he abuses his power in order to accomplish his benefits and self-interests. That is investigating opponent Joe Biden and his son which will help him to win the upcoming 2020 election. He also broke a lot of rules as well as violated the U.S Constitution when he used his power to eliminate White House staffers because they are opposed and disagreed with his administration. Clearly, the president should be the one who will be responsible for this country and its citizen, who will put the whole nation's priorities above the self-interests. Yet, President Trump is opposed those standards. The U.S needs a leader who can represents the country, not someone who strongl

   Immigration is one of the most heated and controversial topics that has been debated over decades in America. It is known that America is a country that is built by immigrants. That is the "dream" land of immigrants from all over the globe. Yet, Trump's "American First" program starts to put an end mark on this land. The administration's new rules creates a huge impact on the U.S immigration policy, especially in refugee and asylum type visa category, as well as H-1B, and migrants at the U.S - Mexico border. Thus, President Trump's actions are opposed with American traditional democracy - a welcoming land for immigrants and refugees. Therefore, we should not support on his immigration policies.    First of all, how Trump handled immigration policies might lead the country to the downside, make it face with more financial and economical obstacles. Limiting the number of legal immigrants from other foreign countries does not make America great again.

In response to the article: Trump Tears Up the Welcome Mat by The Editorial Board of The New Your Times news, I would like to clarify and point out several points the authors made about how Trump’s new administrations have an impact on U.S immigration system, especially on refugees and asylum visa category, the purpose of the article, as well as my opinion about it and Trump’s new administrations. First of all, the authors inform the readers about how president Trump’s latest administration cut down the number of immigrants who are accepted for refugee visa type from 30,000 last year to 18,000 this year. That is a dramatic reduction in terms of visa allowance for asylum and refugee visa seekers. Next, the author made several points about how this administration seems against the traditional American’s democracy throughout “The Trump administration has systematically acted to bar as many refugees and asylum seekers as possible, virtually from its first day, supplanting America’s

Immigration is one of the most controversial topics in America.
