Foreign Policy
Our views of the world.

Immigration
Immigration to the US has been part of American history since Britain started expanding their empire to the 13 colonies. Better Future's opinion, applying for US Citizenship is too hard for an average person. The American dream does not have to apply to just those who have been born in the US. Specifically what we would do to reform immigration policy is that we would make the process less strict for immigrants. Some of the requirements for immigrating to the US are: In order to make it easier for people applying for US citizenship Better Future would open up more opportunities for green cards, visas, and citizenships.
 * Obtaining a job that requires living in the US.
 * Or have a spouse in the US for a family visa.
 * Or have "extraordinary abilities" that are in demand.
 * Or going through a cultural exchange program could qualify you for a student visa.

Mexican Drug War
Illegal Mexican drug cartels bring drugs across the border and into the US all the time. We believe that the drug trade is so big at the moment because of the demand for these illegal drugs. In order to prevent or at least reduce the amount of drugs shipped into the US:
 * Money would be spent in order to raise awareness of the dangers of drugs. Other non government funded drug awareness groups are out there, but we believe it would have the biggest impact if the government intervened in these affairs. Once the demand for drugs is lowered, less drugs will be brought to the US.
 * Measures would be taken to make laws so that those who take drugs, deal drugs, or posses drugs will be severely punished. This will discourage people away from anything to do with illegal drugs.
 * Finally we would tighten up border security even more in order to prevent anymore drugs from coming into the country.
