John McCain VS Barack Obama (A)
Immigration
McCain wants to provide a legal way for some illegal immigrants to become citizens. And create fences in the border of Mexico so immigrants can’t come to the US.
Obama wants to make illegal immigrants eventually become citizen. He also wants to support immigration reform legislation that would have enhanced border security
Health
McCain wants to reform health care and make insurance more affordable for individuals and families. He would offer tax credits to help Americans pay for health insurance.
Obama would create a national health insurance program that would cover uninsured individuals.
Education
McCain voted for the No Chilled Left Behind
(NCLB) Act. NCLB requires public schools to achieve certain test standards before receiving federal dollars.
Obama wants to reform the NCLB Act. Like McCain, he would reward high-achieving teachers and increase the number of children who are eligible for early-childhood education programs.
What I Think
Immigration
I agree with Obama that he wants to make illegal immigrants eventually become citizens. I don't like how McCain wants to provide a way to create a 700-mile fence along the U.S.-Mexican border.
Health
Obama wants to create a national health insurance program that would cover uninsured individuals. That’s good for lots of people. McCain wants to reform health care and make insurance more affordable for individuals and families. This time I agree with both of them.
Education
Obama wants to reform the NCLB Act. Like McCain, he would reward high-achieving teachers and increase the number of children who are eligible for early-childhood education programs. McCain voted for the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. NCLB requires public schools to achieve certain test standards before receiving federal dollars. I agree with Obama.
Who I would I vote for and why?
If I could vote, I would vote for Barack Obama and you should too. I would vote for Obama because most of the stuff he wants to do is for the people of the U.S. The biggest thing I would ask the next president to do for the U.S. is to lower the taxes so people could afford more stuff.
