        President Obama should not get impeached because of the executive order he took in order to fix the country's immigration policy. Republicans are furious because of Obama's actions and now want to sue him. They all feel Obama has contradicted himself, and that he declared war on them after losing the Democratic majority in Congress.
        Obama had left congress in charge of making a policy that would help fix immigration policy, but after years of waiting and time running out, Obama felt it was his duty to step up and take action. Congress believes Obama declared war on them, but it was them who declared war on him after not doing a single thing about fixing immigration policies. 
        Before Obama became president of the U.S. he proposed to do his best to help fix many issues, making immigration the most important. His first step was by creating the DACA (before his first term ended), which is the same as the Executive order but for immigrants who had entered the U.S. as a child. DACA was seen as a light of hope by many immigrants, that also helped him secure most of the Latino vote.
        Angry Republicans will start taking action fighting back Obama next year when they become the majority in the Legislative branch, even if it means trying to impeach. Republicans are being self-driven by materialism. An example of that is the Keystone pipeline that needs to go into re-voting after it was struck down by legislation this year. 
        Immigrants are not all criminals. Some have families, pay taxes, some don't have medicare, so republicans are mistaken by treating them as felons. Everyone is here following what is the "American Dream" by getting an education, building a business and having a home to live in, This country was founded by Immigrants, and those immigrants fought hard for what they owned. Obama is doing things right and he should not get impeached because of the executive order he took in order to fix the country's immigration policy.

  1. On Wednesday December 3, 2014 Classmate Aldo Sanchez wrote an original commentary about President Obama possibly being impeached. Aldo explains that, “President Obama should not get impeached because of the executive order he took in order to fix the country's immigration policy.” I agree with Aldo’s opinion. For many years I had to see my parents worry about being deported and fixing their papers. It was not a pleasant experience.
    Since Obama made such a drastic decision, many families might not have to go through the worries my parents went though. Aldo says, “Immigrants are not all criminals. Some have families, pay taxes, some don't have Medicare, so republicans are mistaken by treating them as felons.” People against Obama saying that immigrants are felons, only see the bad side of immigrants. Not everyone is like that. It’s sad that people are so blind.
    Aldo targets Republicans who are against Obama’s decision. The commentary itself is convincing. It almost makes you feel bad. Overall his opinion is something I would backup.
