The dream to live in the U.S.


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.
