Biden and Congressional Democrats to Unveil Immigration Bill | Newsmax.com - 5 views

    I'm happy that Biden wants to give citizenship to immigrants. I don't understand why some people are mean to immigrants when the foundation of the U.S. is and has always been immigrants. They help with construction, and they work in the fields that produce fruit and vegetables that we see in stores, but they live in fear of being separated from their families. So I think this is a great step forward for the Biden administration, but I do agree there should be some restrictions to make sure that those who become citizens deserve it.

    In general, Americans need undocumented workers. They are the ones who show up and actually need the money or else they have no home. They come to the US for a better life and work very hard, but get criticized essentially for not being born in the United States. This article in the American Conservative gives a better view on immigration and why it is seen as a necessity. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/why-blame-mexico/

    This seems like a good idea, immigrants finally get a break and a place they can stay safe. With the chance at a better life and don't have to live here illegally. Maybe they can finally be at peace without worry.
  • thomaschau on 01 Mar 21
     
    I personally don't agree with this because we could be potentially giving U.S citizenship to a criminal and although it is a fact that it takes too long to process an immigrant to the U.S I still think it is not right to come to the U.S illegally.

    "Immigrants and supporters are planning to strike Thursday in a protest loosely organized by social media and word of mouth. The goal is to demonstrate the importance of immigrants to society, as the Trump administration continues to pursue hard-line enforcement policies that advocates fear will disrupt communities and the economy."

    I think is was a very cool way of being able to show just how important immigrants are to this country. This is the types of protests that really make a different in a very peaceful way I don't see why anyone would be mad about this-- other than them not getting tacos.

    Congressional Republicans are vowing to fight President Barack Obama's plan to make immigration changes through executive action, but they are struggling with how to do that without triggering another government shutdown. The House and Senate need to pass a measure during the lame duck session to fund federal agencies, which will run out of money in mid-December.

    I agree with McKenzie, even though the wall has been a topic for a few months now... people are realizing this is getting close to happening... I don't blame Mexico for not wanting to help pay for the wall. It's probably not even gonna happen anyways. Trump needs to work on making people happy and "making America great again".
  • kim bagshaw on 30 Jan 17
     
    It seems like Trump is trying to get to much accomplished at one time, he's not focusing on one problem, so nothing is going to get done. My problem with the wall is that it doesn't solve the problem people will always find a way in so unless we are putting a wall up around the whole US we will still deal with people trying to get in.
  • anonymous on 30 Jan 17
     
    Even though trump said he's going to build a wall people are still going to get over it. Unless he is planning on putting a wall all around. I think he's just gonna make it worst for us, he should do the little things first and work his way up with the big things, because what is he changes his mind about what he's doing.

    He is a man of his word, the word most people voted for, so that means he is going to do what he says and listen to the people.
  • Landon Mohr on 16 Feb 17
     
    I agree with Justice because people are just going to find another way over or around the wall. Illegals are still going to jump the border and some of them will still make it into the United States. I don't understand why he is trying to do everything so fast. He does know that he has four years right? Maybe someone should inform him of that. The wall is a pointless thing especially if he's trying to get Mexico to pay for it.
  • trump16 on 20 Feb 17
     
    the wall is not a pointless thing. He will get mexico to pay for it. He is a man that keeps to his word. He is not bought and paid for by lobbyist, and super PACS. The wall is a great idea. Just remember would you want to take in some homeless person into your house? thats what a front door is for. that is why we need a wall.
  • azyla646 on 13 Mar 17
     
    Mexico will not pay for the wall he's insane for thinking that they're going to help stay out. All he's doing is humiliating immigrants and kind of bullying them. If he plans on bullying people all four years he has then he's not going to do anything for us and that should worry people.
  • marly mcmullen on 13 Mar 17
     
    I agree with Landon. Mexico is most likely not going to be willing to pay for the way so therefore its pointless. People are still going to try and do what they want, a wall is not going to stop them.
  • daniel hetrick on 13 Mar 17
     
    Mexico might not pay. But Abby, you say he is humiliating immigrants, he is welcoming to other foreigners he just dislikes illegal immigrants, it's like somebody broke into your house and is living in your attic without you knowing. He is blocking immigration from the middle east not because he hates all muslims but because most terrorism is from that general area.
  • rwilladsen586 on 13 Mar 17
     
    I think the general concept of what he's trying to accomplish is a good idea, but of course there's plenty of flaws in the system. Mexico's obviously not going to be on board for covering the funds necessary to build the wall, and neither would any country in their position. You're going to have plenty of Mexican citizens who are totally against this and might even try to wreak havoc on the project which will only stir the pot more. On the other hand, he's making an effort to keep illegal immigrants out and follow through to his word by building the wall.
  • ahayden800 on 16 Mar 17
     
    I agree with Landon, Mexico might not pay for the wall. If Mexico doesn't pay for the wall to go up what are the chances that the wall is actually going to be put up?
  • isaaclidgett on 16 Mar 17
     
    Mexico will pay for the wall if the like it or not. America will just stop sending them financial aid that we give to them every year. There is many ways to get Mexico to do what we want and we finally have a president that will stop the illegal immigration and do what he promised he was going to do. Amen!
  • Jorden Crinklaw on 16 Mar 17
     
    I think it is insane that Trump proposed the idea of building a wall, and now is trying to make Mexico pay for it. Why would they? How does that even make sense? If Mexico doesn't pay-which they wont, American tax payers will be the ones paying for it. And it is a multi billion dollar project.
  • sjordan863 on 16 Mar 17
     
    That's the reason why people voted for him, he is a man of his word that's what us the people wanted.
  • racosta116 on 24 Mar 17
     
    He's doing what he promised, if someone didn't support him it's most likely not too good in their opinion, but he won promising things. It's a good thing to have a president doing what he promised, even if someone doesn't agree with it all.

    What if foreigners need a place to stay, he can't just kick them out and accept no immigration, and avoid the question, "What about those who haven't committed crimes?" Well maybe if some foreigners have committed crimes, but not all of the crimes were that bad, and what if the immigrants are desperate, or need something, or again, a place.
  • william bach on 07 Sep 16
     
    Trump wants to remove millions of illegals, but like the passage says what would he do with the ones the haven't committed a crime? The ones that have done crime should be removed, but the ones that haven't should continue living here.

    Trump said in his own words that when he becomes president he wants to exile the millions of illegal immigrants from the US and that if this succeeds he would change the world completely. Any illegal immigrants that are arrested will be deported as well.
  • ravynanderson on 13 Sep 16
     
    Trump said "We agreed on the importance of ending the illegal flow of drugs, cash, guns and people across our border and to put the cartels out of business," not all Hispanics bring drugs, cash, and guns across the border. Some come to America to get away from their country because we have more freedom. Kicking all of them out just doesn't seem fair. Also making Mexico pay for the wall isn't fair either. If America wants the wall then they should pay for it. When you go shopping and you want a shirt you don't make your friend or the cashier pay for it.
  • kaylynnsmith on 13 Sep 16
     
    "We agreed on the importance of ending the illegal flow of drugs, cash, guns and people across our border and to put the cartels out of business," (Trump). He acts and speaks as if every single foreigner brings trouble when they come, and he's wrong. Yes, there are those that cause trouble with guns, drugs, and money- but not every single one of them. He wants to deport all of foreigners who have "overstayed" their visa, even if they have caused no trouble or harm whatsoever.

    I think that the wall could be a possible way to stop a part of illegal immigration but the problem with that is how expensive it would be and also most immigrants come here on planes not across the border.
  • Bradley Daugherty on 26 Jan 17
     
    The wall can stop illegal immigration, but the approach to it by the US isn't the right way to go after it. Mexican newspapers are asking the Mexican president to cancel his white house visit due to the wall.
  • ogomez1025 on 26 Jan 17
     
    Would help to control the immigration and also that the people here and who want to work have more possibilities of work and more help and that many of the immigrants take advantage of the aid that gives the government and although others if working strongly and cleanly They involve and thus that way they all look that way

    On Wednesday, Pope Francis urged Americans to "not be afraid to welcome" immigrants into the U.S., a stark contrast with Trump's harsh language calling undocumented Mexican immigrants "killers" and "rapists." Trump has also pledged to build a massive wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and deport the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S.
  • crupp376 on 24 Sep 15
     
    Even though Trump offended a very large group of people what he said he is still standing by it even with the Pope disagreeing with him. The Pope is a powerful global religious leader with many followers worldwide so I think it might be a good idea to listen to him and take his advice if he says that you shouldn't be afraid to welcome in new people and be more aware of what we are doing to the world and climate. Not saying jump on the band wagon but he might be slightly wiser.
