The
whole country was waiting for President Barack Obama to announce what will happen
to this beautiful country. On Thursday night, Obama stated in his address new
policies and goals for the United States. He put an extra emphasis on the
immigration policy, stating that the deportation relief will dramatically
increase for illegal people in the United States, for about 4.4 million
undocumented immigrants. This policy protects parents, people who have come to the
United States from when they were a child, and people who have been living here
for a long time, having long-standing ties to the country. Obama is protecting
the undocumented people that are currently in the United States, plus at the
same time making it harder for people to as they say “jump the border.” The
President stated that it is impossible and at the same time unfair to do mass
deportation, therefore a middle ground must be found. The people currently
staying here will continue living here, besides those who are criminals and
offenders of the law. Entering the United States illegally will be harder, and
the chances of getting caught and deported would be higher. Obama made this
policy for the 4.4 million undocumented immigrants. This policy would allow
them to get work permits and start working legitimate jobs, unlike being stuck
cutting grass and washing cars. Along with this, they will get other government
support that normal citizens or permanent residents receive. The President
wants to show that the United States is a forgiving and a fair country.
