The U.S. are the biggest
economy of the world and to live in this country is the hope for a better
future for foreign people from different countries around the world. Nowadays,
the American immigration system is failed and millions and millions of people
have lived illegally. For the American government, it’s a big challenge because
it’s hard to define what the government need to do to help this people, in
another way, how provide this people to a temporary citizenship to provide them
the right to contribute rightfully with the American economic. This kind of
issue made the President Obama adopted some decisions about immigration
illegals and border's protection to contain the magnitude of this problem.
The news “Obama: ‘You can
come out the shadows”, by Jim Acosta and Stephen Collisson at CNN in November
21, 2014 talks about the government decision to difficult the entrance in the
U.S for unauthorized outsides. It demonstrates a video recorded in Washington
with Obama’s pronouncement about the question.
Obama shows his personal
concern about this problem and tried to measure his words to avoid a national
collapse between the American citizens and illegal immigrants. He clarified
that the government don’t want deports millions and millions of people, it
isn’t his characteristic. He used the statement: "If you meet the
criteria, you can come out of the shadows and get right with the law. If you're
a criminal, you'll be deported. If you plan to enter the U.S. illegally, your
chances of getting caught and sent back just went up”.
In another part of his
speech, he explain that the next actions aren’t so different of the law
enforcement actions. All of the criminals should be deported as constantly
happens, first of all it should be the action’s focus. The other focus should
be legalizing temporarily immigrants that spent more than five years in the U.S
to give them some rights and to possibility to participate actively of the
American economy.
His actions are condemned
by the politic opposition and probably the next President should make changes
in this position about illegal immigration. How to make rights for illegal
people is a big challenge for the current government and any action adopted can
cause irreversible effects in society as all.
To conclude, something
need be done but every action need be studied at maximum before be adopted. The
government’s concern make sense and the first action to be done is the
effective control of borders to avoid the increase of the problem. Others
action should be adopted along the years to minimize the mass impact and
guarantee a security country for all the people that living there and classify
the U.S not just as a big economic nation, but as a country that acknowledge citizens’
rights.
