Another problem the future president must face isthe refugee problem. Should Syrian refugees be let into the U.S. The war in Syria is scaring people out of their homes. Trump doesn't want to let immigrants in because there is a chance of them being undercover terrorists. England is currently letting refugees in and has terrorist attacks occurring constantly. Trump says it is not safe. Hillary follows the view that this is a free country and everyone should be accepted in. She thinks that background checks will be enough to ensure our safety.

WASHINGTON - The United States is the proud home of "the mother of exiles," the Statue of Liberty. But of the millions of exiles from the Syrian war, only about 10,000 have reached U.S. shores.

Other countries are taking in more, though vast numbers of Syrians remains dispossessed. And even the limited number of Syrians coming to America is a source of hot contention in the presidential campaign as humanitarian impulses tangle with security worries in the debate.

WHERE THEY STAND
Republican Donald Trump has repeatedly called for a moratorium on accepting Syrian refugees. His position is part of a broader stance on immigrants that has ranged from a complete ban on foreign Muslim immigrants entering the United States "until we know what the hell is going on" to "extreme" vetting and an ideological test for would-be immigrants from countries and regions plagued by extremism.

Democrat Hillary Clinton has said she would expand President Barack Obama's refugee program to accept about 65,000 Syrian refugees. This would be in addition to the tens of thousands of refugees accepted from around the world every year. Clinton said she would continue with the vetting currently in place, an effort that can take multiple years to complete.

___
WHY IT MATTERS
Hundreds of thousands of Syrians have sought refuge in Europe while many others wait in neighboring countries and refugee camps for the war to end or a chance to move away from the carnage. President Barack Obama pledged the U.S. would accept 10,000 Syrians this budget year, which ends Sept. 30, and achieved that number a month early. This is in addition to about 75,000 refugees from other parts of the world.

Meantime, Canada, with a little over one-tenth the population of the U.S., resettled 25,000 in four months and is processing about 19,000 more applications.

The influx of people from a region plagued by war and terrorism has some concerned about who may be coming to the United States. At issue for many people - prominent Republicans among them - has been the vetting of refugees, especially after multiple, deadly attacks in France and Belgium. They worry Islamic State militants or sympathizers will infiltrate the refugee ranks.

The Obama administration has said the vetting is thorough and involves multiple in-person interviews and checks by the intelligence community and federal law enforcement. Would-be refugees are asked for biographical details about themselves, including their relatives, friendships, social or political activities, employment and education, phone numbers, email accounts and more. They must also provide biometric information, like fingerprints. But no system is foolproof.

Two Iraqi refugees were arrested in Kentucky in 2011 on charges that they were trying to send money and weapons to groups fighting the United States in Iraq. But no Syrian refugees have been accused of plotting or carrying out attacks inside the United States.

The future of refugee processing for Syrians almost certainly hinges on the outcome of the election.

Clinton's economic plan is targeted on helping the middle class and poor class. Hillary thinks we need to increase minimum wage to 15$ a hour and tax the rich more. While Trumps focuses on more fair taxes and increasing trade and business opportunity in America. He believes if you help the businesses then the economy will be boosted as a result. Less taxesand tariffs means more businesses which means more jobs right? This is referred to as trickle down economics.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have laid out their visions for the US economy and, unsurprisingly, they are very different.

Mr Trump is focusing on cutting taxes, eliminating regulation and ending trade deals.

Mrs Clinton, on the other hand, wants to raise taxes on the wealthy, increase spending on job training and lower taxes on companies that hire more Americans.

Here are some of the ways they differ.

Taxes: Slash v spend

Mr Trump favours cutting taxes for everyone and reducing the number of tax brackets from seven to three. He would reduce the top rate of tax to 33% from 39.6%.

Mrs Clinton would keep taxes the same for most Americans but add an additional bracket for the highest earners. The income from that would be used to pay for programmes like free university education for students from low- and middle-income families.

Her campaign is calling the higher taxes on the wealthy - 4% on people who earn more than $5m - the "fair share surcharge".

Clinton tax brackets

Trump tax brackets

Earnings under $9,275 - pay 0%

Earnings under $29,000 - pay 0%

$9,275 to $37,650 - pay 15%

$29,000 to $54,000 - pay 12%

$37,650 to $91,150 - pay 25%

$54,000 to $154,000 - pay 25%

$91,150 to $190,150 - pay 28%

Over $154,000 - pay 33%

$190,150 to $413,350 - pay 33%

$413,350 to $415,050 - pay 35%

$415,050 to $5,000,000 - pay 39.6%

Over $5,000,000 - pay 43.6% (new bracket)

Both candidates have proposed closing tax loopholes that typically favour the rich.

Mr Trump proposes a child care deduction that would cover the average cost of child care, while Mrs Clinton favours limiting the number of deductions taxpayers can claim at 28%.

Tax deductions allow people to subtract some of the income they are taxed on - effectively lowering which bracket they fall into. They typically favour the rich who can take more, while the 43% of Americans who currently pay no income would be unaffected by the change.

Mr Trump also proposed eliminating the estate tax or "death tax" completely. The tax only applies when a family member passes on more than $5.45m worth of assets to an individual or $10.9m to a married couple.

The Republican candidate said he would also reduce the US corporate tax rate to 15% from the current rate of 35%, one of the highest in the world.

Mr Trump's campaign said the plan would reduce the amount of income the government collected by $4.4tn over a decade. This is far below the $9.5tn calculated by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center in August. The Center said Mrs Clinton's plan would add $1.1tn in revenue over the next 10 years.

Neither candidate has proposed significant reductions in spending on public pension and healthcare programmes like social security, Medicaid and Medicare. The funding needed for those is expected to balloon over the next decade and its unclear where the money to pay for them will come from without tax increases.

An analysis performed by Tax Foundation last month found that while Mr Trump's plan would lower taxes for all Americans it would lower them most for the highest earners.

New trade deals

Mr Trump has done his best to capitalise on the discontent around trade deals.

His economic proposal suggests renegotiating trade deals using "negotiators whose goal will be to win for America". He has not spelt out what that "win" looks like, but he has promised to step away from deals like the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) if a good deal cannot be reached.

Mr Trump has also promised to get tough with countries that violate trade agreements, applying new tariffs and pursuing cases against them in the World Trade Organization. He has specifically said that he will label China a "currency manipulator".

Tariffs

Mr Trump has called for a 35% tariff on Mexican goods and a 45% tariff on Chinese goods.

That would mean a $100 television from Mexico would cost $135.

This could encourage US consumers to buy more products made in America, but it would also likely encourage Mexico to place an import tax on US goods, making it hard for US companies to sell their goods abroad. Mexico purchased $267.2bn in US goods in 2015, making it the second largest export partner for the US.

Mrs Clinton has said these tariffs will lead to a trade war making it harder for the US to compete on a global stage.

Clinton has gone back and forth on trade. She previously supported the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) but has said in her campaign that she doesn't think it's the best deal for America.

Her plan focuses more on increasing production in the US by offering tax incentives to companies that build there rather than barring imports out. While she has criticised some trade deals, she hasn't ruled out signing new ones if elected.

Renegotiate trade deals to favour the US

Walk away from trade agreements if a good deal can't be reached

Add tariffs on some of the America's largest trading partners including Mexico and China

Changed her mind on TPP, which she helped negotiate

In 2007 criticised trade deal with South Korea, then supported it as Secretary of State

Supported Nafta but has since been critical of it

Who's hiring?

Both candidates have promised to put Americans back to work, though unemployment has hovered around a low 4.9% since the beginning of the year.

Mr Trump's employment plan focuses on encouraging more businesses to open in the US. He has suggested that investing in infrastructure, cutting the trade deficit, lowering taxes and removing regulations will make it easier for companies to hire.

Mr Trump has focused mostly on increasing manufacturing jobs, which have declined by around 5 million since 2000. Much of that decline has been caused by improvements in technology, however, not outsourcing.

He has promised to create 25 milli on jobs over 10 years and achieve annual economic growth of 3.5%. US GDP growth reached 2.4% in 2015.

Mrs Clinton's policy for jobs growth is a little more specific. She has called for increasing jobs training - in part paid for by tax revenue from wealthier Americans. She has pushed for infrastructure spending and investment in new energy to lift the number of jobs in those sectors.

Some room for agreement

Despite their many areas of disagreement, there a few things both candidates are pushing for.

Ending corporate inversion - or transactions where US companies move their corporate headquarters abroad to avoid US taxes

Eliminating carried interest tax - a tax that mostly benefits hedge fund investors

Opposing the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)

Mr Trump has not addressed how he will pay for these cuts, other than saying the changes will boost the economy and that will increase the tax base.

Mrs Clinton has said most of her spending increasing will be covered by tax increases, but it is unclear if those numbers entirely match up.

She will give her own economic policy speech on Thursday.

Trumps lose of support from women has put him at a 5% decrease in women voters in recent polls. Several women have told the media that Trump has sexually assualted him. Donald replied via Twitter saying "Polls close, but can you believe I lost large numbers of women voters based on made up events THAT NEVER HAPPENED. Media rigging election!" He claims that he never touched the women. Trump was caught on camera in 2005 telling a TV personality that he can grope women because he is a "star."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump conceded Sunday he is losing support from women, but he blamed it on media accounts of women who he says falsely accused him of sexual assault.

Trump tweeted that the polls show the race with Democrat Hillary Clinton remains close, "but can you believe I lost large numbers of women voters based on made up events THAT NEVER HAPPENED. Media rigging election!"

He repeated his charge that the media is biased against him, "in a coordinated effort with the Clinton campaign, by putting stories that never happened into news!"

Clinton's vice presidential running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, mocked Trump's allegations, telling one interviewer, "He's blaming the media. He's blaming (Republicans). He's saying that America can't run a fair election. He is swinging at every phantom of his own imagination because he knows he's losing."

But Trump's vice presidential pick, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, told NBC television's Meet the Press that Trump will accept the outcome of the election.

"The American people will speak in an election that will culminate on November the 8th. But the American people are tired of the obvious bias in the national media. That's where the sense of a rigged election goes here."
Polls: Clinton has 5.5% lead
Her lead, both polls show, is built chiefly among women, who could help make her the country's 45th president and its first female chief executive. The Post- ABC survey says she has a nine-percentage-point lead among women, while Trump leads among men by a point. The NBC-Wall Street Journal survey says Clinton has a 20-point lead among women, while Trump has a three-point edge among men.

A national average of polls compiled by Real Clear Politics shows Clinton with a 5.5-percentage point lead. Two major polls were released Sunday, with The Washington Post-ABC News survey showing her advantage at 47 to 43 percent among likely voters, while NBC News and The Wall Street Journal said their polling shows Clinton with a bigger edge, 48-37.

It also gives Clinton a 20-point lead among women, while Trump has a 3-point edge among men.

Trump's presidential campaign may have been destroyed by allegations of lewd and disrespectful comments and behavior towards women, including charges by several women dating back to the 1980s that he touched or kissed them inappropriately.

Trump was caught on camera in 2005 telling a TV personality that he can grope women because he is a "star."

Trump apologized for those remarks and called the women who accuse him of sexual assault "liars," mocking them by saying some of them are not attractive enough to grab his attention.

Upcoming third debate

Trump and Clinton face off in their third and final debate Wednesday in Las Vegas. With no evidence to back it up, he suggested Clinton was on drugs at their last debate last week, and said they each should undergo drug testing before Wednesday.

He also accused her of meeting with global financial leaders to "plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty" and said she ought to be jailed for the way she handled her emails when she was secretary of state.

Clinton is staying off the campaign trail to prepare for the last debate.

She is likely to face questions about thousands of hacked emails from the account of her campaign chief John Podesta that WikiLeaks has disclosed in recent days.

The messages include the full transcripts of three speeches she gave to executives at investment banker Goldman Sachs in 2013 for which she was paid $675,000, along with comments by her campaign staffers about how to handle challenging campaign issues.

She told bankers in one speech that she had "great relations" with them when she was a New York senator and attempted to flatter her audience by saying the banking industry knows regulatory issues better than anyone else.

Publicly, Clinton has excoriated Wall Street and big banks, saying they need more government regulation.

The Clinton campaign has not disputed the authenticity of the Podesta emails and suspects Russia of the hacks. The FBI is investigating.

Meanwhile, police in Orange County, North Carolina say a bottle of flammable liquid was thrown through the window of the local Republican Party headquarters overnight Saturday, setting fire to furniture and damaging the office.

No one was hurt. A slogan reading: "Nazi Republicans, leave town or else" was spray-painted on a nearby wall.

You might of heard about Hillary's email disaster. Clinton was caught illegally using a private email server to hold top secret emails. Several congressmen and senators have been arrested for using a private email server. 30,000 of these emails have been released by the FBI and 14,900 have not been released yet. There is a possibillity some of the unreleased emails could be repeats of already released emails. 8 emails were listed as top secret information. Few of these emails contain information related to the death of 4 U.S. troops in Benghazi.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
30,000 initially turned over by Mrs. Clinton's lawyers, deemed work-related, returned to the State Department in December 2014.

▪ 8 chains included " top secret " information

▪ 36 chains included " secret " information

▪ 8 chains included "confidential " information, the lowest level of classification

▪ 2,000 emails have since been classified " confidential "

▪ The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, said that a very small number of emails had classified markings when they were sent.

14,900 additional work-related emails that Mrs. Clinton did not turn over to the State Department, uncovered by the F.B.I. during the course of its investigation.

▪ More than 9,000 emails were personal and will not be released

▪ About 5,600 will be released, many not until well after Election Day. At least 75 have been released so far.

An unknown number of additional emails that may be pertinent, the F.B.I. announced on Oct. 28, found after the bureau seized at least one electronic device once shared by Anthony D. Weiner and his estranged wife, Huma Abedin, an aide to Mrs. Clinton.

▪ The number of emails are in the thousands, according to law enforcement officials.

What Happened While Clinton Was Secretary of State

October 2009

Federal record-keeping guidelines for the use of personal accounts are tightened, requiring that any such records be preserved in federal systems.

December 2012

The chairman of the House Oversight Committee asks Mrs. Clinton in a letter if she has used a private email account. She does not reply. The State Department later responds, without answering the question.

An Investigation Into the Benghazi Attacks Puts More Focus on Clinton's Emails

August 2014

The State Department provides the select committee on Benghazi with 15,000 pages of documents, including a handful of emails from Mrs. Clinton, all from her private account. The committee asks for the rest of the emails.

Clinton Hands Over Emails, and They Are Eventually Made Public

February and March 2015

Before The New York Times publishes an article about Mrs. Clinton's personal email account, the State Department tells committee investigators that she relied on it exclusively as secretary of state. Soon after, Mrs. Clinton announces that she has asked the State Department to release emails from the 30,000 she handed over, and says that she deleted another 32,000 personal messages.

April 2015

Mrs. Clinton announces her candidacy for president.

May 2015

The State Department begins releasing several thousand pages of her emails, many of them partly redacted. The releases continue until the last of the roughly 30,000 messages are made public in February 2016.

As the Campaign Continues, Classified Information Is Discovered

July 2015

Government investigators say they found classified information in emails from Mrs. Clinton's server. The emails were not marked classified at the time, and it is unclear if Mrs. Clinton knew that the information was classified. The investigators refer the matter to the Justice Department, and shortly thereafter the F.B.I. opens an investigation.

How Many Investigations and Legal Proceedings Are Happening?

F.B.I. investigation

An F.B.I. investigation into whether any laws were broken in the handling of classified information has concluded, and while the agency recommended no charges against Ms. Clinton over her use of email, it was called "extremely careless." Attorney General Loretta Lynch affirmed that she would accept the recommendation and that the Department of Justice would not seek criminal charges. On Sept. 3, the F.B.I. released a document summarizing its interview with Mrs. Clinton and a memorandum about the investigation.

Judicial Watch lawsuits

A conservative legal advocacy group, Judicial Watch, has brought several lawsuits against the State Department under the Freedom of Information Act for records relating to Mrs. Clinton's tenure, including the special employment status of Mrs. Clinton's top aide at the department, Huma Abedin. One of the suits resulted in an order by a federal judge on Aug. 22 for the State Department to provide a timetable to hand over 15,000 previously unreleased emails.

Congressional and agency reports

On June 28, the select committee on Benghazi issued its final report, which found no new evidence of wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton in the 2012 attacks in Libya. Separate inquiries by the Senate Homeland Security Committee, the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community may also result in reports.

Additional reporting by Steven Lee Myers

An earlier version of this article said incorrectly that the select committee on Benghazi is expected to interview Mrs. Clinton. The committee has already interviewed Mrs. Clinton and does not plan to do so again.

Correction: July 13, 2016

An earlier version of this article included the wrong domain name in Hillary Clinton's private email address. The address was hdr22@clintonemail.com, not hdr22@clintonmail.com.

Recently there has been information showing that Russia may have an impact on our Russia. Before the democratic convention several emails were released that Clinton deleted. Footprints of Russian agencies have been left behind from the sent emails. These emails will hurt the democratic candidate in the upcoming election. There is possibility this could relate back to Putin seeing how Hillary called out Putin in Russia past election saying he has too much power and is too manipulative to the Russian people.
