NO MORE OBAMA?

Criticizing - Should we impeach President Obama.... I say Yes!!

Barack Obama? A. Good President or B. Bad President


Right answer? C. All of the above. Both are right answers and that is what people need to realize.  


Obama has done many things that people do not approve of but there are also things that many people agree with. Truth is, there is no such thing as a perfect President. NOOO matter who the President is he will always make a mistake. But just because of that does not mean that he should be taken out of office. I do agree with that fact that Obama has let many people down when it comes to what he has done in his current years in office, but yet I believe that my classmate was a little to harsh. And thats ok, its called expressing ones opinion. But lets not forget that President Obama has done good things too and not just bad things. Lets see what was that big thing that he did on 2011, oh yeah he led to the death of one of the most wanted people in the United States maybe in the world; Osama bin Laden.  Thus putting and end to a WAR. He also brought back many troops back does that not mean anything? Lets also not forget that he has passed an Immigration Reform, starting a solution for one the countries most important issues. He increased the Auto Industry and among other things. My colleague also goes along way to say that President Obama
 is "tearing this country part" yes his mistakes are note worthy but they are not tearing apart the country, that statement in my opinion is a bit exaggerated and inaccurate. To sum this up, my classmates statement on Obamas impeachment does show the evidence of the bad and wrong things that Obama has done but I believe that they are not sufficient enough for him to be Impeached. Some statements make sense, some are to much and some are just not correct.

Illegal Immigration

  One of the United States most controversial issue in the past years has been the Illegal Immigration conflict. Whether it's a good thing or it's a bad thing. Their has been many solutions proposed in order to solve this current issue but there is never a "Solution" in which all can agree on. Recently an immigration reform has been passed and some say that this is the start of something that will change lives not only for the illegal immigrants but for the rest of the people as well.

  But lets look at what immigration brings to the table. Many people argue that illegal immigrants don't deserve the right to have the same rights as they do. But illegal immigration does contribute to the country in one of the most important ways; economically. People argue no taxes for illegal immigrants, well in that case sign me up! I want to be an illegal immigrant if it means not paying taxes. But no thats not the case, they too have to pay taxes just like anyone else. One study has shown that illegal immigrants pay a total of $11.2 billion in sale, property, and income taxes. Another aspect that they contribute to the economy is for businesses. They have an opportunity to hire illegal immigrants for a low wage, that benefiting the economy. Another study shows that if Illegal immigrants would have had a green card or H-1B visa in the year 2003-07, they would have contributed an average amount of  $34-$47 billion in the next decade. Finding a solution is crucial for an even greater economic growth. It will give chances for attending college and having good paying jobs, it will allow for new jobs to be created, and that will in turn result in other benefits as well.

  Illegal immigration has other things to offer to the United States like culture, diversity, and many other things. Our government is doing its best to try and find a solution. We have seen that the 1st step has been made. The recently passed Immigration reform has brought many people opportunities and hope. And a 2nd step will come in time too. Now, I do believe that there could be more done. But we have to take in mind that an issue of this importance will not be solved in a matter of days or months. But rather it will take time to bring about a solution in which both will benefit. The government is doing a good job to find a solution in my opinion. It is not any issue, its one of the most important issues and thus it has to be taken with time. I do admit that parties use this problem as a way to win elections and to have more supporters, but it has to stop sooner or later. A solution must be found. Either make everyone legal or make everyone illegal but  either way I do believe that our government will find a solution its just a matter of time and patience.
