Obama: The dream act allows illegal immigrants who have entered the country when they were younger than 16 years old, and have lived here for 5 years, to be able to gain citizenship. Obama believes in this Act because it will allow children who were born and raised as an American citizen to remain American. Also, after these immigrants graduate from college and receive a job, they will be able to boast our economy by putting the money they earn back into the market. The concept of allowing the immigrants into the country could strongly benefit our country in other ways as well. Due to the agreement in the Dream Act, the illegal immigrants would have to either enter the military or go to two years of college, which would in turn provide more men to enter the military. It could decrease the United States’ deficit. Most importantly, it could provide a home for the immigrants that came so young that they did not know any better. They came through no fault of their own. Thus, the United States should make them a citizen.
Romney: Romney does not agree with the idea of illegal immigrants to be able to remain in the country. This uses the tax payer’s money to provide education for people who have entered the United States illegally. The allowing of illegal immigrants to enter the United States also sends a message that illegal immigration is accepted in the United States. Once this message is sent, there will be flocks of immigrants attempting to enter the United States. Once they do, taxes would need to increase so that America can continue to fund their education. After the immigrants do earn money, they would not put it back into our economy. They would give the money they earn back to their family in the country that they came from. Because of this, Mitt Romney does not believe it is rational to pass the dream act. The Dream Act has been rejected three times. If Mitt Romney was president he would veto the dream act and continue to deport the discovered illegal immigrants.
