The+Argument

// The subject of immigration causes much controversy, in everything it touches. With two opposite arguments for it, and opinions built on such concrete ideas as personal morals, public safety, and survival, it's no surprise that people will not stop arguing. This page is all about that argument, it's different sides, and who seems to be "winning" it as of today. We will:

-present the two main sides of the argument -show the flaws in both -present the president's point of view -declare a current "winner" based on the laws that exist today//

Barack Obama's immigration policy is good, because it intelligently strives to avoid the flaws of each side. Both sides make great arguments, but there are definitely some major problems. For example, Republicans demand that immigrants are subjected to our law system, but don't recieve any of our rights. They want as much action as possible against immigration, but they try to make our system unbeatable by having every employer, border, and area monitored and checked. This would cost a lot of money, and seeing as we were built on immigrants, it doesn't necessarily seem worth it to try our hardest to keep them all out. The Democrats have flaws in their argument as well. While they want to allow more immigrants in, there may not be enough control in their policy. Republicans worry that this kind of free flow of immigration will cause a sharp uprise in crime, as well as a loss of jobs. ​ __//And the winner is...//__ media type="custom" key="6622727"
