The pressure to vote is at a peak with Election Day approaching on Tuesday, November 8th, leaving the fate of the candidate’s future in the White House in the voter’s hands.
Front runners Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have not shied away from their thoughts about each other’s plans for the United States and neither have the American voters. The issue of immigration has remained a strong topic throughout this election considering the difference in both parties’ views. Trump’s “build a wall” campaign has rubbed many Americans the wrong way. His plan to move all illegal aliens out of the country on his first day as president has raised concern for people and families of different ethics backgrounds. Marjorie Castro, a student at Florida International University and Brazilian native, cannot believe that Trump has a shot at being president and is even more shocked about his plan to build a wall between Mexico and the United States. “I am not from Mexico, but I know what it’s like to be an immigrant in this country and have friends and family who are not legal citizens” said Castro. “Trump is not just putting a physical wall between borders, he’s putting a wall between humanity.” Clinton’s plan for immigration policies’ are different than Trump’s, but still raises other concerns for voters. Her pandering to ethic groups saddens financial accountant Jeffery Albanese. He believes that what Clinton plans to do might sound good, but doesn’t believe she will actually execute those plans. Though immigration policies might not directly affect Albanese, he believes the method each candidate used to promote their policy on immigration was very off-putting. “It’s unfortunate a middle ground is rarely found politics,” said Albanese. “Because while we are a country founded and driven by immigration, our system does not facilitate good and fair naturalization.” Paul Miller, who works for an employee benefits company, says that voting for Clinton would hurt his line of business, but voting for Trump would hurt his morals. Clinton increasing Medicad and national sponsored programs gives employers less of an incentive to offer as many benefits to their employee’s and spend money on what Miller’s company offers. However, Miller says he is not voting for Trump due to the way he speaks about immigrants and his plans for immigration policies. “The main reason I am not voting for Trump is because of the hateful statements he makes on a daily basis,” said Miller. “His comments on immigrants and minorities do not represent what it takes to be the President of the United States.”
