Congressional Gridlock Congressional Gridlock is a recurring issue in America’s political system, and it is crippling the efficacy of the governments ability to lead the country to overall prosperity. Gridlock, in terms of politics, refers to the inability for the political system to adequately satisfy the needs of the citizens in that country. In reference to Congress, a gridlock is when the people cannot be satisfied due to disagreements in legislation that hinder the process of making laws.

Obama’s Immigration Policy: Presidential Memos to order Deferred Action Within the last few years, immigration has been a huge topic for debate. Americans have seen a large increase in the numbers of immigrants, specifically illegal immigrants, over the last few decades. That has many citizens wondering what has changed. One of the most recent changes has to do with an executive policy known as deferred action.

Immigration throughout the years has become a major issue in the U.S because of too many immigrants entering the country year after year. The U.S has come to a point whether they should deport the immigrants back to their country. Believe it or not, these immigrants are a big contribution to the U.S. If it wasn’t for them, the U.S economy wouldn’t be where it stands now.
Immigration is one of the most hotly debated and relevant issues that our country faces today, and it has been for many years, and within the same topic is the issue of DACA. In 2009, the former president, Barack Obama, and his administration first implemented a policy that would help for the children of immigrants brought to America as children. This policy was called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA for short, and it provided protection from deportation and allowed the young people to pursue work and studies under a work permit. In 2017, the newly elected
President Trump called on Congress to address the issue and replace DACA with a solution that would determine the status of Dreamers. DACA is set to end on March 5, 2018, and after that, the Department of Homeland Security will no longer accept new applicants. Dreamers will also be left vulnerable to deportation, and their work permits will not be able to be renewed. With the March 5th deadline rapidly approaching, Congress has decided to hold a week-long immigration debate starting February 12, 2018, in which the Senate will see if they can pass a bill. The McCain-Coons plan is a proposal that may be discussed at the
