We took the map test and I got 100%. We worked on the issues project and heres some information that i got for immigration. I still need to edit it though.
I believe that America is a nation of immigrants, bound together by the idea that all people are endowed by their Creator with the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. A strong legal immigration system is an integral component of what makes America exceptional, but today, our immigration system is broken. I will develop an effective, mandatory employment verification system that will enable employers to be sure that those they hire are eligible to work. This will discourage illegal immigrants from coming to America to seek jobs. I will also make an effort to secure the border. I will complete a high-tech fence to enhance border security. I will also ensure that we have the officers on the ground we need to take control of the border. Now I ask you what has president Obama done to secure the borders? He has failed trying to secure the borders. He also has failed to update our immigration to serve a modern economy. The United States is projected to face a shortage of 230,000 science and technology workers by 2018. At the same time, we have set the caps on high-skill visas so low that, for some countries, an entire year’s quota has been filled in an hour. I will ask Congress to raise the caps on visas for highly skilled immigrants. As a candidate for president, Barack promised to tackle immigration in his first year in office. Three-and-a-half years later, America is still waiting for his plan.
