Blog #4 Bernie Sanders Immigration Plan

2020 Democratic Candidate Bernie Sounders wants to put an end to immigration raids, decriminalize crossing the border, and wants to put a pause on deportation. According to The Wall Street Journal, Bernie is highly concerned and is one of the first to bring up this standpoint. He believes that too much immigration is bad and can affect workers in the United States. His stand on this issue is clearly supported by many immigration activists.  He stated, “We are going to end the raids which are terrorizing communities all across this country. We are going to impose a moratorium on deportations" (WSJ). With Bernie's stand on immigration he is looking at a lot of latino voters. It is clear that Bernie supports the Latino community. As a latino i see that many people want a change so that some action is taken to stop the pain of many immigrant families in the U.S.

Blog #3 Immigrants with medical issues

Trumps administration have started to deny immigrants pleas who are trying to lengthen their stay in the United States to treat serious medical conditions. For example a girl from Spain named Serena Badia came to the U.S. seeking medical help. Before coming to the U.S. Spanish doctors predicted Serena wouldn't live past 12. She is now 14 and has been working with her for about two years trying to fix her pulmonary artery. Recently they were reached out by immigration told them they have 33 days to leave the country to they risk not being able to return in the future. Joe Biden who is a candidate for the 2020 Presidential Election commented, "We are running out of words to condemn the inhumanity of this administration" (ABC News). I think its very overwhelming to see lost of issues having to do with immigration recently and its crazy to see how many families and lives it is affecting.

Blog #2: Trumps new rule

President Donald Trump and his administration have recently revealed a new rule that has targeted low income immigrants. This new law could potentially decline visas and permanent residency for thousands of impoverished immigrants in the United States. This would reject immigrants temporary and permanent visas for those who do not have a certain enough of income/wealth. Not just that but for those who have received aid such as food stamps, public housing or medicaid. When the rule was announced, the National Immigration Law Center (NILC) communicated that they would file a lawsuit to stop this new rule because they believe that this new rule is “racially motivated”. The state attorneys of New York and California threatened to sue as well. It is clear to see that President Trump and his administration have clear intention of scaring immigrants from using any type of welfare that they are rightfully entitled to.
