Immigration Bill
For Washington to stop deportation, the president should pass the immigration reform. The collapse of the immigration bill in 2007 put a stop to the progress in reforms. There is no perfect bill and legislation that support the immigration bill. The president (Barrack Obama) says the stopping of the deportations is solely dependent on the congress. Most of the republicans are not concerned about the bill, and there are not enough Democrats to support. The US congress only created exclusion laws but never an immigration system.
The immigration system is broken and lacks policies that are just and fair for all immigrants. The Supreme Court stopped the DAPA (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans) program, which halted the progress of the reforms (Kuchins, 2015). The signing of some of the executive orders regarding immigration policies does not consider the interests of innocent immigrants. Another issue that requires fixing is the time taken to pass approved bills into law. Once the House and the Senate approve bills, then the bills should be made into law immediately following all the legal procedures.
Some of the policies I recommend will be that all students and children in the United States are given work permits and other legal documents to allow them to operate in the country until they reach age 16. I would also recommend that the Supreme Court follows strict timelines in the issues concerned with immigration. Policies that seek the protection of parents are necessary, especially for parents whose records are clean. Parents should not face prosecution but rather be deported together with their children to prevent separation. I would recommend governments’ insurance covers for immigrants, especially for health plans.
