Article is about how President Obama and his administration dealt with the problem of
immigrants and DACA, giving all the power to homeland security. The article states how
Homeland Security would only deport immigrants who did not have someone with a green card
in their family and helping the US economy in meaningful ways. I also think that the Obama
administration did the right thing in trusting Homeland Security with the problem of immigration
reform. Shows how the Obama Administration differs from the Trump Administration in the
problem of immigration reform and how immigration reform can become better and do more for
helping new citizens. Used to show how the Immigration Reform used to be and how it was better
at one point.

There are vast differences when it comes to Canada and the United States, but a major
one seems to be the way they treat immigrants. Canada is very giving and takes in many
immigrants compared to the US. They also seem to be helping their immigrants
financially and also because Canadian Citizens discriminate less than American Citizens.
While in the US it seems to be quite opposite as the US doesn't help immigrants as many
of them can't even get normal jobs without the fear of getting deported. Shows

DACA was a temporary solution for immigrants who came here as children. Many
(Republicans) believe that Obama's efforts were illegal and unconstitutional. Some have
even threatened to sue the current president if he didn't end the program by a certain
deadline. With ending this program it will ruin many lives and families by being deported
and ripped away from their chances of having the American dream.
New information that I discovered was when a senator threatened to sue the president
because of his dislike of the DACA program. This source will help my team and I create
our website for our history day project. The source also gave me more information about

what went into the making of the program and how much effort it will take to end the
program.

The main idea of the source is that young people that were brought here illegally by their
parents are being supported by a program Obama established in 2011. It helps them with
future jobs and colleges. The article has the pros and cons to it some people who are
immigrated and from those who oppose it.The source helped me think of more questions
I have for my topic and helped me understand more about what immigration reform is
about.

overstaying visas to be very important" this is apart of President Trump's wall building
along the Mexican border. Some other percentages like 73% wanted those who came here
illegally as a child should remain here.Others like 58% wants an "increase in deportations
of immigrants currently in the US illegally" but there are some who say immigrants that
are skilled should work in the US. Immigrants here usually do labor work but some have
limited seasonal visas so therefore challenges in labor grow. With most of the employers
being immigrants, and them getting deported it’s going to be hard to find others to do
labor work.

Obama had tried to make immigration reform better by passing many law that would in
turn grow the economy at the same time. He also stated how this is the lowest illegal
immigration has been since 1970. Many Americans also seem to support the reform of
Immigration, touching upon the topic that Immigrants are part of American society, legal
or illegal. This is used to show Obama’s ideas and how he tried to execute immigration
reform.
