Analysis of the Problem Existing in American Immigration Reform

It is widely acknowledged that different countries and areas of the world face different opportunities and challenges in the era of globalization. Nowadays, with the development of globalization, more and more people want to go to America for it is one of the countries which have a great impact on the world development, which result in a good number of illegal residents in the USA. In the year of 2014, President Obama launched an Immigration Bill to allow the legal identity of these people (“Obama’s Twisted Logic on Deportations”). However, this act does not really take effect for it has not received broad support. Overall, the immigration reform’s not receiving enough support can be solved by creating job opportunities, distributing managing rights to states and limiting some of the residents’ social benefits.

To begin with, the problem of not receiving enough support can be solved by absorbing more international investment, and thus creating more job opportunities. One of Obama’s policies protects the undocumented people by providing them with the equal chance to work in America (Miller). It is well-known that the United States is a country which bears serious employment pressures. In other words, the equal working opportunities for the undocumented immigrants will inevitably leave high stress on the working staff. If the government can absorb more international investment and create more working opportunities, there is no doubt that the immigration reform can get the support from the various American working staff.

Another solution for the successful conduct of Obama’s Immigration Reform is to distribute some rights of managing these undocumented residents to the state and provincial governments. In fact, some provincial governments oppose the immigration reform issued by Obama (“Immigration Reform”). If these states can get more rights to manage and organize these residents independently, they may tend to accept the reform. Besides, the undocumented residents in America exceed 5 million (Administration of Barack Obama). The vast population is, in fact, hard for the central government to govern. If the rights are distributed to each state, it is more convenient to administer and manage.

In addition, the reform can get more support by limiting some social benefits of the undocumented residents. Immediately after Obama announced the immigration reform policies, he got opposition from Republicans in Congress (“Obama’s Twisted Logic on Deportations”). The reform can change some of its items related to education, health and security and so on. To be specific, the items can be modified to put some limitation on the ways of the undocumented residents’ receiving the social benefits. In that case, it will sound more fair and equal for the original American citizens and immigrants, and thus getting the support of the American people as well as the congress more quickly.

Based on the above illustrations, it is quite apparent that the immigration reform launched by Obama is a vital and democratic policy for long-term development, but it has not received broad support for further operation due to various reasons. There are three primary solutions to meet this problem. In the first place, by absorbing investment and creating more job chances, the reform may get support from the working staff. Secondly, by distributing some governing rights to the provincial governments, it is likely that the reform receives the support from the states and regional government. Moreover, the support can be gotten via giving some limitations for the illegal residents to get the social benefits. In that case, the American people, as well as the congress, may be willing to support the reform.
