Everyone's accepted that during the GOP race, there are seven key issues that are going to have to be addressed: immigration, foreign policy, climate change, economy, education, abortion, and gay marriage. In my opinion there's only one that requires our immediate attention in the very beginning: immigration. It's affecting the economy in ways that nobody could have predicted, and it has to be addressed tactfully and appropriately to avoid damaging our relationships with the Mexican people and without significant economical impact.
Since his seems to be the most radical, intense plan, I chose to focus on Donald Trump's immigration plan. I found it particularly amusing because his plan had one main point- build a wall. Build a big wall, then ship out thousands of people a day. In my opinion, he has an idea that comes from a genuine place, but it completely unforgiving, and it's financially unfeasible. Shipping and processing thousands of illegal immigrants a day would not only put unnecessary strain on the economy by putting through all of the paperwork for each person, it would remove the option for one to gain legal access to the US. It leaves us with the question- how do we keep our country safe and secure, while still giving these people, who come to the US looking for a better life, a fair chance to live the lives we take for granted?
