            Due to Republican criticism, President Barack Obama has made a speech regarding immigration. He made a speech on Sunday, stating how important it is to prioritize the deportation of criminals and recent arrivals. Obama also shows his kind side, by saying that the people, who lived in the United States of America for over five years and have roots, including children who are American citizens, are spared. They can stay and live on this land. A number of senators and other high ranked members in the government rejected President Obama’s statements. For example, Senator Ted Cruz, who is a Republican representative in Texas, stated that he rejects Obama’s claims and that he has gotten in the job of counterfeiting immigration papers. Another senator, Senator Lindsey Graham, a representative at South Carolina, also complained. President Obama is also urging Republicans to pass an immigration bill, because he does not want the world to think that Democrats rule the world, but that Republicans still have a say in what goes on around the world. Representative Raul Labrador, stated that he has been working on a bill from the Republican side. He said that their legislation is not going to be what the president is asking for.

            It is important to know that Barack Obama is taking extreme measures to end illegal immigration. While other parties are taking their sweet time on creating and enforcing laws, President Barack Obama is representing the Democratic side by defending an immigration executive order to stop these illegal actions.
