Current Event #14:

Donald Trump promises 'deportation force' to remove 11 million

This article focuses on the deportation force that Trump is trying to enforce "humanely." Alongside his deportation idea, he also proposed ending birthright citizenship, which is included in the 14th amendment. His idea is to take 11 million immigrants and take them back to the border. John Kasich and Jeb Bush are against his idea because they think it would be very difficult to do so and it makes no sense at all. Hillary Clinton also had her own opinion and tweeted that "the idea of tracking down and deporting 11 million people is absurd, inhumane, and un-American."

Based on this article, I don't see how this would affect me in anyway. Although, I'm not positively sure that my grandparents are immigrants or not, but there's no way in determining if they're illegal immigrants. If they were, they would've been gone a while ago. So I don't see why this is such an issue if these "illegal immigrants" are here just to be employed. If they were doing something wrong, then sure, deport them. But then again, there's no point into tracking down EVERY SINGLE illegal immigrant.
