“The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.” John F. Kennedy
Today, I have elected to prepare you for the upcoming presidential vote. This analysis consists of the viewpoints of the top 2 candidates from the Democratic and Republican Parties, and the number one runner from the Green and Libertarian Parties’ on Google’s top 5 most-searched issues: Immigration, same-sex marriage, education, gun control and tax policies.
Our first candidate representing the Republican side is businessman and television personality, Donald Trump. He leads his party with 673 delegates, which are state-elected people who represent their state’s votes at conferences.
The primary issue we will look at today, is immigration policies. Mr.

Cruz wishes to change America’s focus towards catching criminals with guns, rather than taking away gun rights.
Finally, he calls for the implementation of the Cruz Simple Flat Tax. Under this, there would be a 10% flat tax, and no taxes on the first $36,000 of income for a family of four. He wants a system that will render the IRS unnecessary.
This brings us to our number one Democratic nominee. Hillary Clinton has 1,606 delegates pledged to support her.
Hillary believes we need a full immigration reform with a path to equal and full citizenship. Also, she has stated that immigrants are necessary for our economy.
Mrs. Clinton has had a very unsteady opinion on same-sex marriage, but her current fluctuation has landed her in support of same-sex rights.
She wants high-quality education for every student, including pre-schoolers. This entails fewer tests and more advanced teacher training.
Clinton wishes to see gun policy reforms, and stands in support of background checks. She claims she supports the Second Amendment, but that change is needed.
On taxes, Hillary believes the wealthy pay too little in taxes and the middle class pays too much. She would plan to offer tax relief to working

Sanders’ immigration policies. First, he wants to find a way to allow citizenship for illegal immigrants, however, he does not believe the United States should open their borders.
Moving on, we see that Bernie has openly spoken about his support for same-sex marriage and rights.
Next, he is in favor of the government funding free public universities and colleges.
The 74 year old politician also would aim to strengthen background checks on gun purchasers, and ban semi-automatic weapons. He would move to keep military grade weapons from civilians.
Finally, he would like to keep companies from shifting business overseas to escape American taxes. His other goal would involve raising taxes on the rich, but not the middle class.
Let’s move on to a couple of the less talked about parties. Jill Stein is appearing to be the most promising candidate for the Green Party. Stein ran for President in 2012, and won less than half of a percent of the vote.
Moving on to her policies, we see that she believes in providing a path to legal immigration that excludes known criminals. Also, she would like to see an end to the war on immigrants. She has stated undocumented immigrants are important to our
Hillary believes the immigration enforcement needs to be humane, watched and affected. Hillary will focus on those who are doing illegal things and deporting those individuals who put on a violent act to public safety, and ensure refugees who seek asylum in the U.S have a fair chance to tell their stories. She believes we are for families and need to pull it together and help with the problems that revolve around our broken immigration system. The American people support comprehensive immigration not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it will help all of us, strengthening our community and economy.
My candidate, Bernie Sanders wants to give immigrants a voice and help them stay in the U.S. Sanders states,” We have eleven million people in this country who are undocumented-who came here to improve their lives, to escape oppression, to flee desperate poverty and violence-and are systematically shut out from that same opportunity.” Bernie Sanders is a son of an immigrant because his father came to this country with not even a penny in his pocket. So he understands why it is important to help those who are illegal here because it’s not fair that they want the same thing as we do, a better life, but can’t have just because they weren’t born here. Nevertheless, Bernie wants what everybody wants, a happy immigrant country.
Is making economy stronger than before. She wants to accomplish such goal through three factors: Strong Growth, Fair Growth, and Long-term Growth. Through strong growth she wants to cut taxes for hard-working families to increase their take-home pay as they face rising costs from child care, health care, and sending their kids to college(HC plans). Through fair growth she wants to strengthen overtime rules by raising minimum wage. Basically she has supported raising the federal minimum wage to $12, and believes that we should go further. With the long-term growth Hillary's comment was “It's time to push back against the forces of "quarterly capitalism" and boom and bust cycles on Wall Street”(HC plans). By that she wants to focus on long term pays, not short-term profits.
“Hillary is continuing a lifelong fight to ensure women have access to reproductive health care.” and “Make premiums more affordable and lessen out-of-pocket expenses for consumers purchasing health insurance on the Obamacare exchanges.” (“Affordable health care is a basic human right.”). However, Hillary isn’t only prepared for the issues at hand, but is very active in causes that are of an importance. For example, everyone does deserve to be treaty equally whether they are a woman, lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. I agree with Hilary Clinton’s plans on dealing with most of the issues at hand including college cost, cost of healthcare, the obscene amount of money used in politics, and immigration in the United
Immigration: If elected, Clinton plans to reform the immigration system within the first 100 days in office. Her plan “will treat every person with dignity, fix the family visa backlog, uphold the rule of law, protect our borders and national security, and bring millions of hardworking people into the formal economy.” She will fight to terminate the three and ten year bars that bar illegal immigrants that must return to apply for a green card from returning for three to ten years. In terms of President Obama’s executive actions DACA and DAPA (programs that allow for deportation exemptions and work permits in certain circumstances), Clinton believes these are within the realm of executive authority and plans to defend them. In Clinton’s plan,
Trump is focusing on cutting taxes for everyone, reducing the number of tax brackets from seven to three, and higher the taxes on the wealthy - 4% tax increase on those who earn more than 5 million dollars. He would reduce the top rate of tax to 33% from 39.6% ("Where Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton Stand").
The uproar of who should be the next President of the United States came in full swing April 2014. While the Republican Party jumped to an early start by making trips to the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, the Democratic Party lingered on the sidelines. The Republican Party started with seventeen candidates, yet the Democratic Party had only three. However, after the Iowa Caucus, one of the Democratic candidates dropped, leaving only two candidates remaining. Those two candidates are Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. As the race progressed sixteen of the Republican Party candidates dropped, leaving only Donald Trump. With estimated polls, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump would be the two candidates in the 2016 presidential election. Clinton has over thirty-five years of political experience, yet Trump has only business experience, so the decision of who should run the country should be chosen carefully. Although the Republican Party believes Donald Trump should be the next President of the United States, the Democratic Party nominated Hillary Clinton as the best candidate because she has the most accurate solutions for solving some of the main issues in the United States, such as gun control, immigration, and education.
The illegal aliens will like Hillary because she wants open borders and she wants the refugees to come to America. Hillary thinks that minorities lives matters more than anybody else. The people who like paying other people's bills will vote for Hillary Clinton for president. A unborn baby is not a human and has not rights then vote for Hillary Clinton. There is many other things that people like about Hillary Clinton like she is going to raise to minimum wage, and lower insurance.
Clinton clearly thinks that health care is very important. Her focus is on keeping abortion legal and supporting the mother’s right to choose. She also thinks that Obamacare works and will continue to be helpful for many people if she makes some improvements to the system. (Is Obamacare good for
Do you want a person who can actually be a proper president, Hillary Clinton is the candidate for that job. Do ever notice how Donald Trump is always complaining and yelling, and is especially not welcoming very many people to his gatherings, Hillary would never not welcome a single person without a proper reason too. War is another great topic about presidency, are we having war or not, Hillary is the calm candidate to talk things out with the opposing country before having a war. Hillary Clinton has the degree and smarts to run this country, rather than the other candidates.
She has said, however, that those who have committed crimes while living American illegally should not be permitted to stay here. Clinton will fight for a comprehensive immigration reform legislation with a path to full and equal citizenship. She will also end the 3 to 10 year bars to keep families together instead of deporting back to their original
As Secretary of State, Hillary advanced LGBT rights and enforced stronger anti-discrimination regulations within the state department. Hillary stated, “Gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights.”(Hillary). Hillary passed the first ever U.N resolution on LGBT human rights. She launched the globally equality fund,She ended state department regulations that denied same-sex couples and their families equal rights, helped implement LGBT-friendly workplace policies, and update the state department policy so that transgender individuals passports reflect their true gender.
Trump’s most recent proposal on tax is to cut taxes and give breaks to small businesses and large corporations. His idea allows businesses not to pay income taxes, but the owners are taxed at individual rates on their profits.
Clinton promises she will work to ensure a fair and just immigration system. She is fighting for an America where every family has a sense of belonging. She believes it is important to keep families together and ensure a more human immigration enforcement system instead of breaking up hardworking, law-abiding
Hillary Clinton talked about her main topics in her acceptance speech. Clinton’s main points in her speech were healthcare, crime, Clinton talked also about police brutality just like Donald Trump. She took it on a much lighter approach. Clinton talked about how you can’t do things alone and how you need a group of support. Clinton also discusses how she wants to tax people who make over $250,000 a lot more then they are taxed now. She thinks that this will help the middle class more. She also wants to work on making college a lot cheaper so that people can start graduating with little to no debt. Another thing she wants to work on is having more gun control. She wants to enforce having more regulations than
