A Better Nation

           After the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy was passed, it allowed many illegal children that entered the country before June 2007 and before the age of 16 to receive a renewable two year working permit. Shortly after, President Obama went forward with the executive order protecting the millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation. Those who didn't qualify for DACA or are unable to establish a legal residency in the United States are now being protected with these policies. There are about 5 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States. Not only is this a huge relief for all the undocumented immigrants who immigrated to the land of hopes and dreams, but it's a leap for the United States as well. More people are going to be accounted for taxes, the money that the 5 million undocumented immigrants are going to be charged to move forward with this process is going to benefit the U.S in so many ways. This means that we may be able to reconstruct our nation into a better economy. All the money that will be coming into and circling in the U.S could be used for more parks, roads, reconstruction, education.

           As Connecticut takes the first step in supporting Obama's executive order by issuing licenses for illegal immigrants. They will be permitted to take the driving test so that more people will be driving on roads responsibly, registered, and insured. This will make roads safer, more people will be insured, our death rates will decrease. Hopefully other states in our country will take initiative by implementing driving tests such as Connecticut did, or offer more jobs to give the opportunity for families to make a better living. All these policies will only better our country!
