To Build a Wall of not to Build a Wall




A hot issue right now is immigration reform and Erica Grieder’s “The Surprisingly Sunny Prospects For Comprehensive Immigration Reform” does a great job of showing where our political leaders intend on taking immigration reform and the methods they intend to use for handling it. Hillary takes the approach that all illegal immigrants in the country should be granted citizenship and while her opponent suggests we merely make a “wall” which in some way will “make America great again”. Both sides seem to agree that a reform of our current policy regarding illegal immigration need to be overhauled and simply taking all of the illegal immigrants and taking them back to what ever their native lands maybe is an over whelming job. The article does take into account that in 1986 Reagan attempted to reduce the number of illegal immigration by passing a bill to allow them to become citizens how ever only half of the illegal population seem to have taken the deal in over thirty years. Trump has sat with the the Hispanic Republican Senator and made adjustments to his “tone” and agreed to “soften” his speeches when it comes to this topic. Trump has been in meetings with the Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto going over solutions to this current problem.
