  Short Summary of Current Event

The race to 2016 presidential elections in US has attracted an array of comments and strongly provocative stances from various candidates. Donald Trump has openly differed with the current US immigration policies as such offering tough opinions with far reaching implications (Jaffe, 2015). Donald Trump has been vocal on the stormy issue declaring to initiate stricter limits to legal immigration as well as overturn the law that allows people born in America to obtain citizenship (Diamond & Murray, 2015). According to Strain (2015), Donald Trump policy would turn the US into a police state.

The Trump’s immigration policy suffers a great deal of moral limitation. In his 1900 page paper Donald Trump outlined his plan to force Mexico to pay for a border wall across the porous Mexico-US border. Arguably, the partition would prevent the United States from trade deficits it has been suffering as a result of illegal immigration. However, these assertions drew harsh criticism from Mexican leaders especially the former president, Felipe Calderon and his party colleagues (Jaffe, 2015). Calling for the suspension of the issuance of new green cards, Trump suggests that American employers should hire from the domestic pool of unemployed Americans (Diamond & Murray, 2015). Political pundits have raised grave concerns over the Trump’s immigration policy. Families would be affected; business disrupted and probably turns people against each other (Strain, 2015).

3. Main players involved and who is potentially affected by this event / issue / topic

Affected Party	Rationale
Immigrants in the US	Immigrants in the US will be affected by the immigration issue. Most of the immigrants are not documented and as such they could be deported back to their countries. Most of the immigrants moved to US in search for political asylum or economic opportunities.
US Employers	US employees face imminent economic losses as a result of stormy topic. Apparently, US employers have been sourcing cheaper labor from immigrants. In addition, many professionals entered the US through the green card program allowing employers to access technical experts for their firms.
The Republican Party	The Republican party is affected in this immigration issue and Trump assertions. The party stands to lose key support from immigrants, and the people of color.
Mexicans	Mexicans stand to lose important trade partners in the US. Building a wall across the US-Mexican border would enhance stricter and one sided trade regulations.
US Citizens	Trump plans on the immigration policy would cause many American citizens to be deported back into the US as countries take retaliation measures.

4. PR Implications

Donald Trump’s immigration policy effects have attracted extensive attention (Strain, 2015). As a result of the immigration issue, Donald Trump could lose large number voters who feel alienated from the American dream. Asserting to press for stricter immigration regulations and overturning the law could be a blow to his presidential bid. Voters wish to vote from leaders who would cultivate unity and proper working relationship with the majority, protect their economic gains and uphold the rule of the law without discrimination. Apparently, immigration issues raise serious implications as they would affect mostly the people of color. Arguably, altering the current law and initiating stiff regulations would trigger racial undertones that could impact Donald’s ratings as a pillar of free America as envisioned by conservatives. Remarkably, the conservatives have been dismayed by his signature immigration policy. Imperatively, Donald Trump has been under intense criticism from fellow republicans (Jaffe, 2015).

In conclusion, immigration is a stormy issue in American politics. Presidential candidates should be cautious of their opinions and assertions in regard to immigrants. Seeking to overturn immigration rule, pausing green cards and building a border wall against Mexico is detrimental to Donald trump. These measures would not only jeopardize foreign relations but also affect his domestic ratings and overall vote in the presidential bid. Therefore, in the spirit of continued sober and cordial relationship among immigrants and the Native Americans
