President Obama's Executive Order


President Obama has recently announced that he is carrying out an executive order regarding immigration. His executive order gives immigrants temporary protection from deportation in addition to keeping children, who are legal U.S. citizens and residents, with their parents. I believe it is constitutional. I believe that children should not be separated from their families. Most immigrants are contributing to the United States and are actually helping it. 

Obama's executive action is strengthening our immigration system. It makes it easier for felons to be deported. This will keep immigrants who are helping our country in, while deporting immigrants who do not follow the rules. For example, parents with kids who are born the in United States have extended time here. These parents are actually working to support their family. There is also more enforcement at borders to keep illegal immigrants out. 

Many of the previous presidents have placed executive orders. There were most likely many people who were against them, for there is never anything in politics in which everyone can agree on. Presidents in the past have done the same thing Obama is doing. All of these presidents are doing what they believe is for the best of the United States.
