Differences Between Hillary Clinton And Donald Trump
The battle of economic agendas between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is a showdown of wonk vs. CEO. On many issues, the candidates' positions align with the political platform of their party, Clinton is pro-choice, Trump is pro-life. Clinton supports the DREAM Act and a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, while Trump wants to deport all undocumented immigrants and build a wall on the Mexican border. Clinton wants to expand gun control legislation, Trump does not. Clinton wants to raise taxes on high-income households while Trump wants to cut taxes for all income brackets.
Trump has called for the deportation of all undocumented immigrants, and constructing a wall on the Mexican border to reduce illegal immigration. Trump opposes a path to full citizenship for immigrants who are currently in the United States illegally, including people who may have entered illegally when they were children and may have spent almost all their life in the country. Trump has also called for a ban on allowing foreign Muslims to enter the United States.
In contrast, Clinton has called for a path to "full and equal citizenship" for undocumented immigrants who have not committed any violent crimes. She has also proposed creating a new government agency - the Office of Immigrant Affairs -

Clinton does not have a position on marijuana legalization other than to continue with “Keep marijuana a Schedule 1 drug, and wait and see how the "experiments" in Colorado, Washington and Alaska turn out”. Trump has, in the past, proposed legalizing all drugs, claiming that the "war on drugs" was "a joke" and that legalizing drugs would "take the profit away from these drug czars." In more recent interviews, Trump has said that marijuana for "medical purposes... it’s absolutely fine," implying that he is against legalizing marijuana for recreational

    Trump wants to end DACA. I think that he shouldn’t end DACA.The DACA program allows undocumented young adults work in the country legally. DACA was an Obama-era program. “The DACA program, announced by President Obama in June, 2012, provided recipients with protection from deportation for two years, which could be renewed, and allowed them to work(Alvarez, 3). I think that Trump is scared of undocumented people and what they could become. If they are continued allowance in the U.S. Immigration Services and U.S. Citizenship gave work to thousands of undocumented immigrants giving them the ability to work, to make something of themselves. The executive branch has legal authority to implement DACA. More than 100 law professors signed a letter…

    Donald Trump is the Republican choice and holds views which beforehand were only used as internet jokes, which has led many to initial think he was a joke run for president before he realised he could actually win. He believes that a wall should be built on the Mexican border to prevent people from crossing over without earning a USA citizenship, and also thinks that Muslims should not be allowed into the country in case they are terrorists. Some however think that by “build a wall” actually means he will just increase security, among these are Collan H. who says “Many say that Trump is actually going to build a wall, but he won't.” Many criticize him by saying that he will be persecuting Muslims and that his plan of having a special Muslim…

    America was built on assortment. If you really visualize this so called “implacable issue” called immigration is irrational. What deciphers someone from illegal, sometimes I think our nation is oblivious to the fact where today’s Americans were once illegal immigrants, who gave us the power to decide if someone was worthy enough to live in our country as a result of their race? Donald Trump will deny so many people citizenship because he doesn’t think they’re “qualified” but you look at him and wonder why the heck hasn’t he been deported yet? There’s a great deal of lousy Americans who are still allowed to establish a life here but people from other races are deported for a couple speeding tickets? Trump wants to make us a unified country, it’s almost as if we’re living in a time before Martin Luther King Jr., if Donald becomes president we will just be sunk down in that same situation and that horrifies me. I don’t want to live in a country that isn’t accepting of other cultures, Trump is a prime example of a bigot. He wants to build a wall to keep the population of Mexico outside of the United States, but get this, he wants Mexico to pay for it. If Donald Trump becomes president, other countries will have to build a wall from us because we’ll be so corrupt and we’ll start invading other countries to escape Donald Trump and his distorted philosophies. People from Mexico come to America for a better chance, but after Trump I…
