Immigration Ban is the Most Important Issue in the Politics of the United States of America
Introduction
The world in which we are living in our territories with a different culture, norms and historical background where we have some law to live, some people who are governing the land with regards to its administration, Legislation and judiciary which conjointly called as government. It is run by the public elected representatives, and they are always responsible for good and bad going in the country either on individual, community, state or international level. The functioning of this all system in a social term known as Politics.
The United States of America is world superpower while somehow it looks that it’s going to be failed after the racist and phobia base policies from Donald Trump. The US is better in many things but there are some political issues taking place after white house got in the hand of Trump, and mainly public is a concern too with these all changes happening out there. Nowadays there is conflict rise between the countries, funding procedure been changed and social budgets has cuts which never been seen in the history of America. While America is a diverse country where different kinds of people are living, and they are permanent citizens, and America is built by the blood and day-night effort of different background people which cannot be ignored, but unfortunately I think this will be stopped as trump policies are getting worse day by day on immigration.
Immigration is developing a source for the US social, economic and political factor while the immigration banning is nowadays most discussed issue in public and the diplomatic level as policies are changing and we see America is having no interest in providing refuge, asylum and citizenship to the other country people. In this paper we will discuss the issue with its identification and what risks could be developed later on in different dimensions
Discussion
Identification
The order which is known as Travel ban or Muslim ban in Public The Executive Order 13769 giving the title of Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States which was issued by the Donald Trump in 2017. It brings out the biggest changes in the immigration process while in the time when Syria is facing a big crisis and in need of refuge from the world while many countries accepted them and some are treating them good which was a procedure of the US government but unfortunately snatched this golden opportunity for the new resource. As the US Refugee admission program was ready to host 50,000 refugees but after this order, they suspended, and they changed the criteria for usually Muslim countries like Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Syria with concern to home security. In this term more than 800 travelers mostly Muslims and 58,000 visas were revoked provisionally and provisionally[1].
There are concerns of a congressman, and they have pass comments against this from both parties. In this Jim Bridenstine says “I will support the physical security of border which is important for us the security of nation while this order is disturbing the diversified nature of the country. We are having a history of hosting immigrants and taking their services regarding social and economic development which will feel them threatening in this phobia environment.”
While Sam Johnson says “besides making traveling band we should work on developing law against illegal immigration while this legal immigration is the source of development and will help definitely to grow the US economy futher with the flow of labor and skilfull human resource.”
Looking up to the Executive order and comments we can see how concerning issue it is and it can develop some alarming risk factor which can affect the United States of America badly[2].
Risk Factors
With linking it to trump ban, it can create some risk factor which ultimately effects the United States of America economic status as already did not have good improvement from many of last years because of our different warfares in Iraq and Afghanistan. The main risk has been identified as loss of potential labor and workers. As we can see many of unskilled labor and also skilled labor comes from the middle east, Asia, Africa and Latino countries which play a major role in the development of the economy and they are easy to avail and work on normal wages. Also, the state gets taxes from them which helps out to sustain the country right away situation[3].
Foreign policy impacts and barrier for international business ventures would come out with time because they will not feel secure with their investment if they were kicked out. While many of American people working in Arab countries if their policy changes with regards to America we will have a great burden on the economy. If the export and trade get affected which we are providing to these countries will also create mega impact.
Conclusions
The world is now progressing day by day as many of underdeveloped countries are now in the list of developed countries, the world is now living as one unit while territorial boundaries are now symbolic now its period of globalization where we are not away from each other but getting close to each other every day. Immigration is a source of sustaining a diversified culture of America and labor flow situation, while our economy is in need of new investors and innovative approach for development to regulate the country boosting in the economic arena because this world now doesn’t believe on your ammunition, territory and arm power but your economic sustainability.
PART 2: Electoral college
Introduction
The electoral college system in the united states of America is not a place; it is mechanism been established under the Constitution of the US for the indirect election conducting for president and vice president. The citizen’s vote in each state who are going to make sure to vote for the particular candidate of the two different parties. The electoral college has more than 500 electors who are responsible for voting and they influence the selection of President and vice president of the United States of America. When voters go to poll and choose their electors. The candidate who is covering the majority of the votes from the population will receive the presidential seat. The 538 is total sum for the nations 435 representatives with three electors from Columbia and all over 100 senators
Mechanism
After ever four years cycle voter goes to the polls and select the president of the US and vice president. The candidates getting the most number of voters in a state wins the electoral votes which are assigned by the proportional representation. The electoral votes which are remaining and not properly used allotted to districts to the districts congress. As the winner gets able to take all over systems in the 48 states fully around the United States of America.
Pros and Cons
The electoral college has the system within touch with historical roots, and it also reflects the popular vote. It gives an opportunity for the people living in smaller states and values their votes with constitutional values in which California is an example for it which has 12.3% for the US Population which represents around 10% of college total votes. In Wyoming. It is based populated in the electoral college with .56% votes but having a population of 0.18% of total US Population. It also protects the minority interest and their proper participation in the country political scenarios. It Directs power all over in the hands of states and within good nature facilitate the two party systems.
If we see there, it seems disadvantages of this mechanism in which the most concern all over is the person which is favored by a majority might down not able to win the elections, which happens five times in the history of the US. The case we can match of 2016 elections between the Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Mostly we saw in different scenarios popularity of the Clinton, but now we see Trump is ruling over the presidential seat while Clinton received more than 3 million votes which are also considered as the highest vote receiving presidential candidate. When it came to electoral college on December 16, 2016, Trump received 304 votes and Clinton 227 with seven electors defecting to other choices. Major states were covered by Clinton, and she was dominating it, while it has happened in history like most popular are John Quincy Adam and Rutherford B.Hayes. Mostly it makes feels population that their vote does not matter which encourage them to stay home and to waste their time for voting because popular vote is based on majority while electoral college consisted of to reallocate votes after every ten years because of changing in population rate [4].
Comments on the Electoral college systems
Hillary Clinton opposed the electoral college, in her one interview about her book she said it should be eliminated because it effects the popular public votes and people are feeling their vote worthless in the system[5] . While also in 2012 Donald Trump said the electoral college as Disaster for the democracy but he wins due to that and even didn’t stood on his stance as he given this comment on the winning of the Barak Obama against Mitt Romney[6].
The electoral college is a disturbance for the public and making votes worthless of public and stood with to eliminate it from the system.
