Abstract: Until the bill passed, much of the debate surrounding the Development, Relief, and
Education for Alien Minors, or DREAM Act, brought about legal, ethical, and logistical concerns.
Illegal immigration and the population unauthorized alien in the United States were key issues in the
ongoing debate on immigration reform. However, the benefits of this bill outweighed its
disadvantages. Immigration policies in the United States concerning undocumented workers are
strict and direct. Employers are not allowed to employ illegal or undocumented immigrants. The
DREAM Act which was enacted by the Obama administration's announcement of deferred action
for deportation of undocumented youths provides alternates. Under the provision of this law, a
person is eligible for citizenship if they came to the United states at age 15 or younger, are currently
35 or younger, have been resent in the country for at least five years, completed high school, and
completed at least two years of higher education or honorably served in the armed forces for at least
two years (Guzman & Jara, 2012). The advantages of Dream Act as well as its disadvantages on the
US economy would be analyzed. Future analysis and other immigrant working situations would also

45. Immigration Reform In Arizona
Introduction Back in 2007 there were several concerns over immigration as a whole and exploding
proportions of illegal immigrants crossing the border in the Arizona area. Arizona attempted to
resolve the influx of people across the border by imposing heavy fines on employers hiring illegal
immigrants. At that time in Arizona there was a democratic governor Janet Napolitano that
continually vetoed the Arizona's legislature attempt to reduce illegal immigration. In 2009 the state
replaced the Democratic governor with a Republican governor Jan Brewer who was supportive of
reforms for immigration in Arizona. In 2010 the immigration problem was so sever that Arizona
passed legislation allowing the state to enforce federal law for identification of legal immigration
into the United States. This sparked a nation wide discussion on illegal immigration and
immigration reform. The problem with immigration is that the federal government has failed to
control immigrants coming into the U.S. illegally. This has caused a substantial increase in illegal
immigration that threatens the U.S. economy.
There continues to be uncertainty on how to approach the legalized immigration into the U.S. The
federal government has attempted since 1975 to enact laws that resolve the issue but the laws
continue to fall short of fixing the problem. One of the democratic approaches to solve the problem
is to give all illegal immigrants citizenship unless they are not in good standings within

reforms in a positive way. He voted no against the bill that require hospitals to report illegal aliens
who receive hospital treatment. That bill had the intention to place restrictions on those who came in

financially responsible for the patient if so. This is a big factor pertaining to businesses. While I do

This is what happens to natural born citizens whose parents are illegal immigrants. The opposition
thinks that if the illegal immigrants are granted citizenship that it may be conceived as rewarding
them and instead would do just that. For the people that were born here in the United States whose
parents weren't here legally, that is exactly what this would mean. Being as we cannot hold them
accountable for the actions of their parents, as they had no control over it, it would be irrational and
immoral to forcibly remove them. According to the 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the
United States, a natural born citizen is defined as "All person born or naturalized in the United
States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State
wherein they reside." The opposition argues that by allowing the new immigrants to vote would
offset the votes to grossly favor one political party more than the other. However, this also, is false.

Congress stresses that this pathway to citizenship is mainly focused on the 11 million undocumented
aliens in America, but it is equally vital to deal with future immigrants, as well, or the country may
find itself housing more illegals and not progressing to a better America (Fox News, The Associated
Press, foxnews.com).
Lastly, Obama's final aspiration is to break our old fashioned system and bring it to the 21st century.
The president's opinion about visa card laws was that they are "outdated" and "make no sense," (Fox
News, The Associated Press, foxnews.com). He hopes to join family members with those who have
come to earn a living already and to avoid the prolonged wait of future immigrants. Having to wait
years before being able to send one's family to America is absurd to the President and surely to a

long granted Congress exclusive control over immigration (Tichenor, 2013). How Congress

65. Argument On Immigration Reform
Immigration has become a very debatable topic in our day and age. Why? It has become an issue of
morality versus logic. Peter Casarella presents the moral stand on the issue and what the Catholic
faith calls people to do. On the other side of the argument is Rusty Reno, who asks people to think
logically about the effects mass immigration can have on a country. Both men present strong,
reasonable claims and at the same time are able to counter each other's argument effectively as well.
The final thought being not who is right, but how can religious beliefs influence policies in a world
where influential nations have a separation of Church and state. Peter Casarella begins the
discussion with the topic of natural moral laws and Biblical principles. According to Casarella
"Scripture is... a good source for thinking in normative terms about the migrant" (Casarella 2).
Catholics are guided by the Bible and in it they read about how Jesus, Mary, and Joseph too was
once refugees, allowing Christian migrants to draw hope from their example (Casarella 3).
Personally, he believes that the most important factor for immigration reform is the protection of
family. That is when he calls for Biblical ethic to be incorporated into the immigration debate. But
as the debate has become a topic of borders and sovereignty his argument can be countered with the
notion of separation of Church and State. With that the government does not make influential
decision within the Church and vice versa.

Over the years, lawmakers didn't make big investments into infrastructure in the U.S. because they
didn't know how to fund infrastructure without raising taxes or adding to the national deficit. So, the
root cause of a problem like neglected infrastructure in the U.S. stems from American political
processes. Political processes are basically how something gets done. In 2009, fiscally conservative
Republicans turned down a $478 billion investment plan for infrastructure (Berman, 2015). But, I
don't think that lawmakers can keep putting off on investments in public safety because the U.S. is
losing economic competitiveness, jobs, and growth. One of Trump's biggest campaign promises was
revitalizing U.S. roads, bridges, and airports. Trump says that his $550 billion infrastructure plan
will grow the U.S. economy and create more jobs (Great Again, 2015). Trump's also planning on
private–sector investors funding this project with tax credits to give investors a return on their
investments. I think it's about time for a more reliable and efficient transportation system. For
example, in 2007, the I–35W bridge in Minneapolis collapsed during rush hour, killing 13 people
and injuring 145 people (Change, 2007). Faulty design led to the bridge collapse. One more example
is an Amtrak train that derailed in Philadelphia in 2015, killing 8 people and injuring 200 people
(Calvert & Loftus, 2015). The train accelerated toward a curve but investigators didn't know if the
engineer caused the train to speed up, if there was a mechanical error, or if there was something
about the track that cased the crash. Airports in the U.S. are also operating beyond the capacity that
they were intended to manage and that's why terminals are crowded and there's longer waiting times
