Obamas Immigration Plan


In the recent elections the Republican Party has won the majority of the senate and now has control of a vital section of government along with the House of Representatives. This would make the Democratic Party not very powerful in the next few upcoming years. President Barack Obama, a democrat, knows his time of having favor in congress is coming to an end so he is trying to do what he can with his time left. From Election Day to the time the new senators take office President Obama has 2 months with the lame duck senators, who are a majority democrats to do work and get things done that republicans would most likely not be in favor. Also another thing he is doing is trying to set the stage for the next democratic president. He’s doing this by trying to pass a plan concerning immigration that could grant papers to millions of illegal immigrants. Also it would provide certain security and safety of relatives and family members being deported. Families with illegal relatives would worry less about their loved ones getting deported. So now that the Democratic Party is trying to help the immigrants the Republican Party has no choice but to do the opposite. The Republican Party will most likely take the stance of tightening borders and cracking down on illegal immigrants. So all the peoples who know, have a relative, or are associated with an illegal immigrant, who are they going to be voting for next presidential election? This is going to give the Democratic Party a huge boost next election. I wonder if President Obama is genially for the illegal immigrants or if he’s doing this just for the presidential race. The title, President of the United States in not just a title but a responsibility and a promise to try and make the U.S a better place. If president Obamas main accomplishment b passing this plan is to help the Democratic Party I think that’s a problem. Why is the leader of a country more worried about whether or not their team wins rather than doing what they are there for and helping the country?
