Immigration System

With all of the deportation and immigration issues going on, i am conflicted with the fact what is right, what is the law, and with moral righteousness. in some ways we know that those who enter the country illegally is wrong period, but at the same time we know that they have the right intentions coming to the country to find a better life and a better future for their children. Under Obama, there has been about 2 million deportees and the list will only grow longer. Whether the deportations were legally or not, i can only think how the families would be affected financially and emotionally. It is difficult and in no way it is all of Obama's fault. The immigration issue has been a difficult task to complete because it has been ongoing for years. The injustice in this issue is that how much the president gets the blame for this and how much do the deportees are at fault for their deportation and why do Obama is the scapegoat. Facts are facts, they must be looked at it before pointing the finger.  From a public perspective a deportation can be seen solely as an emotional problem.

We all are well aware that Obama has talked about fixing the immigration issues for the past 5 years saying "it is time to heed the call of business leaders, labor leaders, faith leaders, law enforcement, and fix our broken immigration system." Knowing numerous people immigrating to the United States by the rules makes one cringe knowing that a lot of money, emotions, energy, hopes, and dreams were wasted if the Government decides to grant the illegal immigrants free entrance to the country. We are well aware that it is 5 years, 5 years are too long, but there must be a better solution than to just decide to grant a quick fix to this issue. one might not know a solution as of now, but as President, Obama must come up with something before this issue goes on for his whole presidency.
