Apparently I was wrong. On Thursday FBI agents busted about 100 suspected mobsters on accounts of murder, drug trafficking, and money laundering. All the mobsters that were caught came from the Gambino and Colombo crime families. It took eight hundred federal agents and police officers in different stated to make the huge mobster
Immigration has always been a part of globalization starting from the first barbarians that occupied the world in prehistoric times. Every year, hundreds of thousands of immigrants legal and illegal from around the world, come into the United States making a huge impact on the culture and the way of life of the American society. However, lately according to the documentary film “Border War: The Battle over Illegal Immigration” Produced by a nonprofit organization called “Citizens United,” illegal immigration has become a very persuasive problem to the American people. The film depicts the lives of people who have been affected by illegal immigration along the U.S. - Mexico border, such as the U.S. Border Patrol agent, Jose Maheda, saying that immediate action needs to be taken to establish an end to the issue. The film presents vivid pictures of how illegal aliens’ invasion through immigration causes a decline in the national security of America, which can effectively generate a cover for terrorists and criminals.
A contributing factor could be that there are growing numbers of terrorists, gangs, and other violent prisoners the government is now housing. ADMAX, a supermax prison the federal government has provided, holds many of the greatest threats to the American ways. People like Zacarias Moussaoui, Al Qaeda terrorist; Theodore Kaczynski, the Unabomber; Terry Nichols, accomplice in Oklahoma City bombing; and Richard Reid, Islamic shoe bomber are all housed in this institution. Another growing cause of prison population is poverty. During the last two decades, there has been a gap in America between the lifestyles of those who grew up poor and those who didn’t.
I. Opening the Case a. Overcrowding is a serious problem in our country and our land seems to be packed. Some people have entered the country legally through a visit visa, but then have stayed illegally and are working in various places; Immigrants are causing a lot of crowding in this country. These illegal and uninvited guests help themselves to jobs, education, welfare and unemployment compensation without paying taxes. More immigrants mean more opportunity for terrorists, drug dealers, and other criminals to enter the country.

Issues surrounding gun violence have been prevalent for decades, however in recent years the crime rates have spiked drastically due to gang violence. These gangs are involved in a host of different crimes like homicides and the illegal sale of narcotics. Street gangs are setting up shop in predominantly Black communities threatening the lives of many innocent civilians. As if the presence of gang activity in these communities isn’t bad enough, these gangs are robbing young girls and boys of their future often recruiting them involuntarily. It is extremely important for the citizens of these gang-infested areas to grasp the totality of the issue and decide to fight against it despite feelings of hopelessness.
For this essay team D chose to write about illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is a pressing issue which affects many people within the United States. There are over 4 million people waiting to get into the United States using the legal means (Heritage foundation, 2013), while there are already over 11 million in the United States illegally (Illegal Immigration, 2013). Many people say that this benefits the United States, while other argues that illegal immigration is just a burden that causes unneeded expenses to the United States and those legal citizens. In this essay we will discuss some articles on this as well as some possible solutions to the illegal immigration issue.
Once the guest worker program is implemented and most of the currently illegal immigrants are registered and accounted for, the local law enforcement can concentrate on actual terrorists and criminals instead of conducting raids on people who are only interested in working. Currently there are over 10 million U.S. residents that are unknown to the law enforcement which is unacceptable and dangerous. If the program will be overseen by the Department of Homeland Security, the fact that a large portion of foreign employees is registered and verified can help the border agents screen for potential criminals entering the country (“Update: Immigration” ). There will be large savings in the annual expenses of maintaining the enormous wall with Mexico and paying 20,000 border agents. There will be no need for such an extreme way of keeping people from crossing the border illegally if most of them will be incentivized and invited to come in on terms favorable to all
Illegal immigration is a big problem In the United States. According to a report by the Pew Hispanic Center, the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States rose from 8.4 million in 2000 to 10.3 million in 2004. Illegal immigrants take advantage of the system put in place to assist natural born or naturalized Americans. Illegal immigrants use the educational and economic programs for their own ends at the cost to taxpayers and Americans who actually need them. Americans work hard too and it doesn’t seem right that illegal immigrants can come and use up all of the benefits that were supposed to go to hard working Americans.
Illegal Immigration Illegal Immigration AP Government 1/22/2012 AP Government 1/22/2012 Matt Graves Matt Graves With the number of illegal immigrants in the United States now over 12 million and rising, immigration is once again a main topic of debate. A reason it is becoming more of an issue is because illegal immigrants are now spreading far beyond the normal states such as California and Texas. Complaints about illegal immigrants are daily and can be heard on many news, radio or any other media outlet. In recent presidential elections, along with the economy and other issues, illegal immigration has become a very dominant theme, particularly on the republican side. Even
