Wills’ claims that the federal government's chief law enforcement official might need a refresher course on federal law pertaining to legal immigrants. Some American legislators have taken up the position that prohibiting bilingual ballots would be racist. However, evidence shows that millions of other American citizens feel that prohibiting the bilingual ballot is a step in the right direction. Wills’ begins his article with a political anecdote quoted by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. When he was asked whether he would favor the prohibition of the bilingual ballot, he simply stated, “Of course not.” Wills’ continues in the next section stating that our national identity and our federal laws are being weakened by immigration that is influenced by these bilingual ballots.
One side to this ongoing argument is that all guns in the United States need to be banned. Many Americans feel this way, believing that, “violence is out of control. Guns are a major cause. They should all be banned- the sooner the better.” To be exact nearly three out of four Americans, 73%, believe that guns need to be under a lot more control. The second amendment says “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” (Bill of Rights).
Critical Exchange Argument Outline Is it time for the nation to take steps to have stronger gun control? Stricter gun controls laws are ineffective and offer only false security to the misinformed. The theory that stricter gun control could have prevented tragedy can be refuted on the basis that the two students who went on a rampage in Columbine violated at least 20 gun control laws thus finding loopholes in the regulations. Increasing gun controls laws also infringes on our constitutional rights. The Supreme Court ruled on June 28th 2013, that individual Americans have a constitutional right to own guns- to all cities and states for the first time.
The Fallacy of Gun Control in America COM/215 The Fallacy of Gun Control in America Proposed gun control laws that ban gun ownership are a violation of every American’s Constitutional right to keep and bear arms and should be rejected. The debate concerning gun control has recently become a major point of contention in America. Any federal law that affects the nation must be made using rational and logical analysis. These analyses should be based on individual rights and perhaps even a little common sense. Although these ideals seem simple to many people, they are lost on the majority of the Democratic Party in America.
First thing we should do is modify the birthright citizenship rule to only grant citizenship to the child being born on American soil. By eliminating citizenship to the parents of the child born here you send a clear message that just because your child was born here doesn’t give you the right to claim citizenship. If illegal immigrants knew that only their children who were born here could have automatic citizenship you would see a lot less illegal immigrants crossing the border to have children and abusing this law. The second thing we could do is finally complete the fence across the entire border. Once the border is secure, we could build 2 or 3 maximum security correctional facilities in each one of the Border States right along side of it.
Sydney Malone Rhetorical Analysis 10/6/14 A recent hot topic in American politics has been the controversy between the opposing Democratic and Republican viewpoints on the new Voter ID laws. This topic has been predominantly centralized throughout the states that have historically been known to have voter oppression issues, yet recent Wisconsin Voter ID laws must not be overlooked. Author Penda Hair of the Huffington Post critically argues that the implementation of the proposed Voter ID law in Wisconsin is detrimental to the freedom of voting granted to American citizens. Hair argues her standpoint through logistics paralleled with emotional appeal supported by her compelling credibility. Penda Hair’s article titled, Wisconsin’s Anti-Voting Law Heads to Federal Court, was submitted into the Huffington Post September 18th, 2013.
The opponents of these laws say that Americans have the right to bear arms. They believe that the laws would stop individuals from defending their property of themselves. The significant disagreement that opponents argue is that the right to use and own weapons is a personal freedom promised by the Constitution. Individuals against gun control also think that certain people should not be allowed to own guns but also think that stricter laws can stop the needless loss of life. The debate over gun control has been one a main topic since the 20th century.
Today’s society finds it necessary question to what range a jury can take the laws of America, change them, and make them their own. A jury can subject laws created through aggressive hindsight and discussion which leads to a dismissal of a case. This leaves the question as to if jury nullification weakens the rule of law that is in the American Constitution. The altercations of the laws are the result of the juries repeated use of jury nullification. If juries continue to use jury nullification, it will result in a weakened democratic system.
The president of the United States, Barack Obama, finds this to be a dangerous procedure to be doing while on the road. If the president is saying that it’s wrong, there’s a good chance that it’s wrong. There’s also the Congress looking into the restricting on federal employees using their phones while driving. Undoubtingly, this restriction won’t be only federal workers only. It will be passed on to streets everywhere and normal drivers as well.
Running Head: BORDER PORTECTION AND IMMIGRATION Border Protection and Immigration Eric R. Kloss Excelsior College Border Protection and Immigration Americans live in a country where freedom is taken for granted, and not appreciated. Most Americans do not know the cost of freedom and are unwilling to contribute to keeping America free. Americans forget the price that so many have paid to keep America free. I feel that immigration and border security is one of the main issues associated with terrorists and the smuggling of illegal goods, and equipment into America. Changes must be enforced instantly in order to stop this illegal entry into America.
