Future in the right hands.
Immigration its one of the most important issues we face in the world today, especially
in America. This topic its been one of the most important during the presidential election
because more immigrants have come to the U/S in search for a better future. We must pay
attention to the policies that each candidate for presidency have made because it would affect all
the citizens in the United States. Some people are going to be more affected then others,
especially those who are immigrants or the ones who come from an immigrant background, but,
it would affect s into a certain level and because of this, we needed to find the policies that are
most likely to benefit much of the population in the U.S. Between Trumps and Hilarys policies
for immigration, Hillarys policies are the most reasonable ones because shes going to work to
keep families together under the law and work with the programs that has been created by
President Obama.
In the description of the policies that Hillary has made, many of them have a similar
subject, families. One of the most important consequences that immigration laws has caused is
separation of families. One of the laws that has caused this consequence is the three and thenyear bar. The American Immigration Council explains what type of persons this law may be
applied and the consequences they have: individuals who accrue more than 180 days, but less
than one year, or unlawful presence are barred from being re-admitted or re-entering the United
States for three years; those who accrue more than one year of unlawful presence are barred for

ten years (The three-and Then-Year Bars.) This type of laws affect many of the children who
have come to this country since many them have immigrant parents who came illegally and
under this law, the country would take them away from them leaving the children with nobody to
take care of them. Because of this type of situation has happened very often, Hillary in her
policies presents a solution to this situation. In her policies, she suggests ending the three- and
ten-year bar. Sonia Nazario states in her book Enriques Journey, For most migrants, the biggest
downside to coming to the United States is the damage caused by the years of separation for
parents and children. (Nazario, Sonia, Page 278). With this proposition, we will avoid leaving
children without parents or someone to guide them through their life and most important
moments of their life to create a better future, an option that many of their parents didnt have.
Another proposition that Hillary has made is to do everything in her power to protect the families
under the law. In her policies, she says Hillary will enact a simple system of those with
sympathetic cases-such as parents of DREMers, those with history of service and contribution to
their communities, or those who experience extreme labor violations-to make their case and be
eligible for deferred action (hillaryclinton.com) She will try to provide protection to the families
who fall into the description that she has made in her policies like people who contribute to their
community and people who have been exploited in their jobs.
Lastly, another policy that Hillary presents is to expand the health care to all families and not
only that but, an affordable health care for all. In her website, she describes why we should open
the opportunity to immigrant families to have access to health care. She we should let familiesregardless of immigration status-buy into the Affordable Care Act exchanges. Families who want
to purchase health insurance should be able to do so. (hillaryclinton.com) I agree with her
because I believe that health care should be accessible to all individuals, regardless of where we

come from. Immigrant families are also humans, we all have the right to be able to assist to a
hospital when we are sick, its necessary for the good of our health.
These policies have the same purpose, and that is to provide immigrant families protection under
the law and help them to be secured in this country, after all, having them in our country helps us
in many ways, it gives us a broader view of the world and have an open mind to what can
happened.
During President Obamas term, he created many programs to help immigrant children to
create a better future for themselves and help their journey of pursuing the American dream a bit
easier. Hillarys policies include working with the programs that he has create, improve them to
help even more the immigrants and to rearrange it so there would not be any mistakes that would
harm immigrants. The programs that Obama created were DAPA and DACA. The American
Immigration Council describes DAPA as: an exercise of prosecutorial discretion that provides
temporary relief from deportation (deferred action) and eligibility for work authorization to
undocumented parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. (Defending DAPA and
Expanded DACA before the Supreme Court) and in the same article they describe DACA as:
an exercise of prosecutorial discretion that provides temporary relief from deportation(deferred
action) and work authorization to certain young people brought to the United States as Childrenoften called DREAMers(Defending DAPA and Expanded DACA before the Supreme Court).
Hillary believes that this types of programs are important to be continued. In her policies, she
states The estimated 5 million people eligible for DAPA-including DREAMers and parents of t
Americans and lawful residents-should be protected under the executive action. I agree with her
statement because its important to provide programs for the individuals who come to the U.S for
a better future and they need to be provided with education and work. Sonia Nazario states in her

book Enriques Journey Today, one in four children in the nations schools is an immigrant or
the child of an immigrant-up from 6 percent in 1970. By 2020, these children will constitute 30
percent of the nations school population. (Nazario, Sonia, Page 277) The programs that the
next president provides for these children will change their future.
I dont agree with Donalds Trump policy of building the Wall. There are people who
may agree with his policies. Many people would agree with the statement in the book Illegal
immigration, Jeff Lukens says The installation of a physical barrier between the two countries is
the first, most important step in addressing the problem associated with illegal immigration.
Without a fence to stop the flow of immigrants, they maintain than other programs addressing
issues such as employment and identificationwill be ineffectual. (Haugen David, Page 68)
Donalds view in my opinion is unrealistic, even though he may think that building the wall will
stop immigrants from coming to the U.S., I believe that he is wrong. Every day, individuals
create new innovations and these innovations will help immigrants come to the U. S. I agree with
Hillarys policy. In her policies, she states Immigration enforcement must be humane, targeted,
and effective. Hillary will focus resources on detaining and deporting those individuals who pose
a violent threat to public safety, and ensure refugees who seek asylum in the U.S. have a fair
chance to tell their stories. (hillaryclinton.com) I believe this policy will benefit all of
immigrants. Since shes not going to deport all the immigrants, the policy will avoid spending
time and money on this topic and use it for other things that will impact more in all communities
in the U.S.
The policies that each candidate for presidency propose are very important and we should
pay attention to them since theyre the plan that each candidate has for the period of presidency
and it will affect all the citizens and immigrants in this country. We can prevent having the wrong

Ortega 5
policies that will affect all of us when we vote, we are in charge of creating our future and
because of this, we need to be critical about the policies that the candidates present since it can
interfere with our plans and I can make them be harder than it should be.
