Explaining What Donald Trump Wants to Do Now on Immigration

The article I am commenting on this time is Explaining What Donald Trump Wants to Do Now on Immigration. Immigration has been one of the major national issues in America. America has been the most powerful country for over a century. Many people from poor countries and monarchy countries have seen America as a much better place to go to for their next generation. Therefore, many people try hard to immigrate to this country. From my point of view, this is a very good advantage of America to use the labor and talented people around the world to contribute to the country. However, without proper immigration regulations, it could be harmful to the states.

It is understandable that the first concern of American citizens would be the safety of their society. However, from the statistics disclosed by a Video made by Clarify on immigration, it is learned that the crime rate of native born Americans is actually higher than that of immigrants. Therefore, if the statistics shown in the video is true, immigration might do more good than harm to this country. Another concern they might have is the job opportunities issues. Many Americans will be worried that their job opportunities might be taken by immigrants. It is true that it might give Americans, especially the less educated or less wealthy Americans, more challenges to find a job. However, with the development of the country, we all have to face the challenge that the society brings us, and that is how America can stay on the top on many aspects in the world, such as art, music, technology and military force. By evading challenges from the world, the United States will only decline. Thus, I think it is important for the government to create more job opportunities for the people here, but it is also important that the people should be aware of the challenge around the world, so that the people here will spend more time and money on their education instead of luxury.

From my point of view, America has done a good job using the highly educated in other countries to contribute to this country. A pharmacist in Taiwan told me he knew a famous scientist in pharmacology field who was treated so well in America, but he was not offered neither a good environment for doing research nor a good income. Understandably, he decided to stay in America at the end.

There are two things I don’t believe about Trump’s immigration policy. First of all, Mexico is not going to pay for the building of the wall. The other thing is that he will not be able to deport all or even close to all the undocumented immigrants. Many people came to this country to put in much of their effort to survive in the way of being abused by American citizens for a reason. They are willing to make the sacrifice because they have a reason to persist here, and that reason might be achieving their goals or other political reasons from their home countries. Therefore, by putting the undocumented immigrants in the corner will only make them try other extreme methods to stay here and very often these methods will be illegal because Trump’s immigration policy will put them in a more difficult situation. Therefore, I agree with Hillary on her way of dealing with undocumented immigrants by putting them in light and collect tax from them instead of deporting them. As a result, they can contribute to the economy of America; however, because they are not granted American citizenship, they won’t be able to affect America’s political situation much, which is a win-win solution for America and the undocumented immigrants.

Third Presidential Debate

Presidential election has been the hottest topic these days in America. Therefore, I would like to comment on the third presidential debate.

The third presidential debate started with two major candidates, Hillary and Trump, talking about their vision for the country. From my point of view, this is just a corny cliché, even though they did both sound pretty good and ambitious when they are talking about where the country should be directed to.

They first talked about Second Amendment. In where I grew up, Taiwan, it is illegal for anyone to own a gun. I am more conservative on this topic, and I believe that the regulation on gun control should be stricter because most people do not have consciousness when they are extremely agitated or mentally ill. Therefore, when they have a powerful weapon, it will be easy for them to cause a lot of harm to others. Let me use the 2014 Taipei Metro attack as the example. The criminal, Cheng Jie who was already executed in May this year, planned on killing people on Taipei Metro for a year before he committed the crime. However, because it is not easy for him to have access to fire arms in Taiwan, so he could only use the most accessible weapon, knife, to stab people on Taipei metro, and he ended up killing 4 people and injured many others on that day. However, if you compare with the gun shooting events in America, such as the Orlando nightclub shooting, you can easily tell that a single person can easily cause 10 times more people killed before the police arrive. Therefore, for the safety of the general public, I am more on the side with Hillary on this issue. Besides, there are many other alternative weapons you can use to defend yourself without causing death, such as electric gun, Taser, pepper spray, etc. Therefore, I agree with a stricter regulation on gun control.

The next thing they debated on is one of the oldest but also the most controversial issues people talk about, abortion. My opinion on this topic is also agreed with Hillary’s idea. I agreed more with Hillary’s idea that women should have the right to have abortion, and Hillary also gave a convincing example on why women should have the right and free will to have abortion without being punished. I also found another report written by a woman talking about her late-term abortion, Late-Term Abortion Was the Right Choice for Me. As we grow older, we should understand that life very often doesn’t work out in the way we want. One good example is divorce. Do you think those divorced couples, which is 50% of the marriage, planned on get divorced in a few years before they got married? Of course not. When something unexpected occurs, we have to make decision what choice is for the best result for the most sides. However, every individual has their own personal and family issues. It is wrong that we have the right to get involved in others’ personal issue, which is just how unreasonable it is when we think homosexual people should not have the legal right to get married. Who are we to decide others’ decision on their own lives?

Due to the word limit of the assignment, I think I need to stop here. However, I have read several news articles that give very in-depth and interesting analyses on the third presidential debate, such as Trump always takes the bait and otherdebate takeaways and Fact Checks of the Third PresidentialDebate. If you are interested, you can click in and take a look. The last thing I would like to comment on is the way they debate. Hillary, from my point of view, is more legitimate and mature than Trump in the sense that she will give you an idea on how she is going to achieve her goal for this country, instead of talking about how good her plan is without giving how she is going to achieve it, which is how I perceive Trump. Another thing I noticed is that Trump was a lot more in control in the first half of the debate than the last two presidential debate. However, he got out of control again in the second half of the debate and started interrupting Hillary in a childish way by saying “Wrong” again while she was talking. Also, he even said Hillary was “such a Nasty Woman” while Hillary was addressing how she was not going to cut benefits by collecting tax from wealthy people. Overall, I think Trump is still a childish boy instead of a mature man from the way he argued with Hillary.
