Donald Trump’s Immigration Plan274320010668000Donald Trump is one of the most famous and successful Americans. He is currently running for president, and is doing extremely well. As of September 9, 2016, Trump is the Republican nominee and is one of two people that can become president. There is a real possibility he could become president. He became a sensation, politically, after saying, “When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best. They're not sending you, they're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they're telling us what we're getting." Many Americans who have rallied behind Trump’s cause share this sentiment. Many Americans agree with Trump enough to vote for him. In August of 2015, he released his immigration plan. If he becomes president, he will attempt to initiate these policies. Your task is to write an essay that either supports OR refutes his stance on immigration.
