Guided Questions:
Current Issue Facing our Country
Immigration Reform: I would use my presidential powers to find a solution to this problem by tightening up immigration security but still allowing it to happen. So I would talk with the TSA, CIA and customs and border control to find a solution to solve this problem. I would take this route because it ensures American Citizens security while allowing for people to come into America. The most recent immigration reform in America was the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. According to the American Community Survey immigration to America was at in all time high. A leadership role I would use solve this problem would be having a vision on how to set forth a proper immigration form that would still allow immigration but not completely stop immigration. As my role for president I would use my chief of state power to visit immigration ports and cities with high immigrant populations to see how they feel about the current immigration problem. I would use the diplomatic power to ensure American defense and security by implementing new screening and technology to the immigration process.
