Donald Trump Announces 5-Point plan about Illegal Immigration

 Illegal Immigration from Mexico has been a destabilizing force in the United States of America for a multitude of years, garnishing a National Security issue on a critical scale. A great number of the Mexican populations have sought out to travel to the United States to seek a greater quality of life for themselves and/or their families. However, not every immigrant who enters the U.S. legally are fortunate to acquire the opportunity of American independence. Many illegal immigrants are impoverished, uneducated, and unable to obtain proper healthcare. The increasing number of illegal immigrants in the U.S has become an economic burden impacting the American public education system, the healthcare system, and the tax revenues of the American government. The U.S. has battled illegal immigration for a boundless number of years, while it almost seems hypocritical given that the evolution of this country has been sculptured by a land of laboring immigrants; governing laws have also evolved to regulate emerging issues America’s Border Security regularly challenges every day.

Donald Trump's plan against illegal immigration to build a wall dividing U.S. borders against Mexico, in my opinion, do not merit the perceivable benefits of his plan. It will only fuse more pressure for foreigners to broaden their attempt. His focus is the 14th Amendment which falsely grants citizenship to babies born in America of illegal Aliens. He wants to change that with his 5 ideas on how to secure the U.S. border.  

1) His idea is to build a fence/wall, deploy 25,000 additional border agents and utilize predator drones.

2) Enforce immigration laws

3) No more cozy detention centers: as the detention centers are basically vacation resorts for illegal aliens as trump quotes, " They should be deported now!"

4) Oppose the"DREAM Act": he opposes in-state tuition at public colleges and universities where illegals may pay less than out-of- state U.S. citizens. allowing deported illegal aliens to come back through an expedited process of some sort.

5) No future tuition benefits: he feels that far too many American students pay more than illegal aliens, who receive generous tax payer subsidies and lowered in-state tuition rates. Trump plans to stop this immediately.

While his plans to change the methods in terms of immigration in America might be very aggressive, I do not believe building a wall of any sort will decrease numbers of immigrants into the U.S., in fact, the illegal immigrants that are already here should be more of a focus in reference to determining whether they will remain in the U.S. as future citizens or evaluate them for eligibility of deportation.

Trump Ducks Releasing His Tax Returns

Just last month, there had been a huge protest in Washington D.C. of people opposed to Donald Trump's decision not to release his tax returns. Although, standing publicly opaque in his own defense, he knew that it is not against the law to refuse exposure of his tax returns. The disclosure of Donald Trump’s 1995 tax maneuver led America to a rare time in which the government’s tax policy turned into a huge national political issue. According to documents by The New York Times, Mr. Trump claimed almost a billion dollars in operating losses that could be used to avoid future federal income taxation. The mind-blowing figure would amount to almost 2% of all of his net operating losses claimed by all American taxpayers that year.

In addition, The New York Times report, “The rule (loophole) that allowed Trump to shelter almost $1 billion in income from taxation dates far back to the year 1918. It was enacted to prevent businesses from being penalized by the administrative convenience of calendar-year taxation: If a company loses $100,000 one year, and makes $100,000 the following year, the law allows the company to pay nothing in taxes, as it has only broken even.”

   

Understandably, his deceitful maneuver could have concealed him for up to eight-teen years’ worth of income taxes, easing his smooth path to his new career, leveraging his name and expertise for publicity while minimizing all the potential risks to his fortunes. Trump-branded apartment buildings, golf courses, hotels, men’s wear and steaks were followed by his lucrative hit reality television series. 

Personally, as a millennial, my personal beliefs sway more as a liberal. I do agree with the facts of the author considering how Mr. Trump has revealed nothing less than a conniving approach within margins in eligibility for presidency. Now that this issue has become much more publicized, I openly advocate that our government should pass a law stipulating any future approach similar to the government's evaluation of Trump’s qualifications in making office which includes but not limited to anyone with no military/ congressional experience, served as senate, provide a transparent approach requiring tax returns of income, assets, and ownership, among many more, etc. If it is required by law that American tax paying citizens provide tax documentation for the approval of various issues, it should be enforced upon our superiors as a validation of proof and transparency.
