Immigration

Sean supports a change in immigration policy as federal government’s negligence on immigration and boarder security jeopardizes the safety of the American people. If elected to congress, he will push for for immigration reform. His change requires:

1.      Secure our borders to seal out terrorist, drug gangs and human traffickers

2.      Recognize and address the special burden on border states

3.      Welcome documented works who keep our economy strong and contribute to our social fabric

4.      Investigate immigration status only if someone is stopped for other violations; Americans, regardless of their ethnicity, must never feel as though their country does not welcome them

Joe also supports a comprehensive immigration reform based on few principles.

1.      Securing our borders so government knows who is entering the country and protecting the country from every possible threat

2.      Renovating the H1B Visa program. As many students enter the country to study at one of the country’s top schools the government does not provide graduates the opportunity to stay or create business. Instead, Joe plans to push congress in expanding the HBI system so graduates can create business in Massachusetts and across America and create more jobs for the economy.

3.      There are 12million Americans who are undocumented. America cannot deport 12million people, it is not feasible. Instead under Joes’ leadership will work with congress in push for finding alternative options for those who do live in the country by getting them on the tax roll and earning their ways to citizenship.

As both candidates share similar views in protecting the US borders, the policies on how to deal with undocumented people differ. Sean’s role as a possible representative would want the government to go directly to the source by working with employers. Employers will crack down on employees who are undocumented to be deported and those who are not to continue working.[3] He, however, agrees it is not feasible to get rid of 12 million people. However, those who are entering the country, however way they entered, should not be allowed to stay. I would agree with Sean’s discretion on making strict laws and regulations that discourage people from illegally entering the country. The United States has seen terrorism come into the northern border and the safety of the American people is put to risk. However, at the same time a majority of undocumented people entering America are also trying to live the American Dream. It is unknown who these people are, but some would contest being refugees from third world countries, war zones and civil rights violations. It would not be fair for those who have come to the United States, trying to make a better life for them and their families, to be deported. Instead, Joe’s immigration plan in pushing congress to find alternative options for undocumented people is a good resolution in immigration forms. It will force those who are illegally entering the country to get on the pay roll, paying a fee and getting in the back of the line of citizenship offices. It is an alternative option for undocumented citizens to earn their citizenship and getting copy rights to immigration reform.
