Illegal votes minimize citizen’s rights in the Constitution and it undermines our democracy that was established and preached by the founding fathers; therefore a solution for this loophole should be quickly tied and these actions no longer tolerable or allowed under the 14th amendment. As citizens of the US, we have a right stated in the 1st amendment to be able to express our opinions; our values and beliefs should be directly represented through the voting process. Although future elections are predicted to be heavily influenced by this growing minority population, politicians are beginning to apprehend the negative brunt illegal immigration has bestowed upon our country as this could be a small factor in the current struggling economy. Congressman Tom Tancredo has vast prospective ideas on how to reform our immigration system. By working across the aisle a feasible and successful solution to the straining liability and encumbrances may be obtained to make our country incorrupt and hospitable to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness to the citizens of the United State of
For example, Star Parker is correct because, if you read labels today on any object, they partake in having Spanish right along side with English. Hispanics are slowing becoming a vast culture group in the United States. Additionally, we Americans do need to fix our laws and its something we need to accomplish by starting off speaking all in English. Another example is said: “Activists who fight illegal immigration oppose a new California law that bans cities from requiring businesses to use E-Verify, an online program that enlists federal databases to check the immigration status of workers. Several California cities had required businesses to enroll in the program to ensure that they weren't employing undocumented workers, but these cites no longer are allowed to force businesses to use it.” On MEL I came along this small article and it flattered me that this website was shutdown.
Federalism Proposition 187 was a controversial measure in California in 1994. Focusing on illegal immigration, California was looking to fix the large influx of illegal immigrants in the state. Due to the initiative process in California, Proposition 187 was placed on the ballot for consideration of the voters. This Proposition had a numerous step plan in order to achieve the goal of fixing the large illegal immigrant population. Proposition 187 called for the denial of health, education, and social services to those people who are not registered citizens of the United States, or to those who are not legal immigrants.
2). President Obama’s campaign said that the proposed amendment is discriminatory (Leslie, 2012, para. 2). Bill Clinton believe that the real effect of the Amendment was not to keep the traditional definition of marriage, but the real effect of the law will be to hurt families and drive away new jobs (Leitsinger, 2012, para. 5).
Party of Pollution In Paul Krugman’s opinion piece in the New York Times, he makes it very clear, from start to finish, which political party’s ideas he favors. Krugman’s piece criticizes the republican’s (namely Mitt Romney and Rick Perry) plan to create more jobs by removing restrictions on oil and gas extraction. Keeping to his leftist party identification, Krugman describes the plan as republicans “weakening environmental protections” and “allowing more pollution” (2011. p. A35). As Patterson describes in Chapter six, “Public Opinion and Political Socialization”, a party identification not only refers to a person’s sense of loyalty to a political party, but it also affects how people interpret political decisions. Patterson defines selective perception as “the process whereby people
We either have an incredibly inept administration, or they're in on this somehow or another. I mean I hate to be conspiratorial, but I mean how do you move that many people from Central America across Mexico and then into the United States without there being a fairly coordinated effort? Governor Perry is absolutely right about a “fairly coordinated effort,” which overlaps with other coordinated efforts smuggling drugs, guns, and sex slaves. Asked on ABC’s “This Week” about the president’s following the 2008 law against sex trafficking, Perry ducked the question entirely, saying, when pressed: What has to be addressed is the security of the border. You know that.
The United States actions are seen by many as inhumane and hypocritical. As a nation we strive to “keep the peace” among other countries, yet we targeted a city full of innocence. Some historians believe that the U.S. wanted to prove its superiority to other countries involved in the war. Supporters of the bombing argue in a “future tense”, stating that the use of the bomb was justified in order to save millions of lives from a planned invasion on Japan. Those who oppose the bombing, including many U.S military leaders and former president Herbert Hoover, agree that it was simply a terrorist act against
A tactical decision by Senate majority leader Harry Reid to exclude a ban on assault weapons from gun-control legislation has sparked reaction among politicians and media outlets. The exclusion of the hotly debated measure could improve the likelihood of passing the gun-control package, which includes stronger background checks, harsher punishments for gun trafficking, and funding for school safety enhancements. "I think the worst of all worlds would be to bring something to the floor and it dies there," Senator Reid told reporters Tuesday. "People are deserving of votes on their issues they feel so strongly about." Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D) of California did not hide her disappointment in the decision.
Drugs such as opiates and crack cocaine should not be legal due to the massive effects they have on individuals. According to Charles B. Rangel “Drug legalization threatens to undermine our society. The argument about the economic costs associated with the drug war is a selfish argument that coincides with the short-sighted planning that we have been using with other social policies. With any legalization of drugs, related problems would not go away; they would only intensify. If we legalize, we will be paying much more than the $30 billion per year we now spend on direct health care costs associated with illegal drug use.” (Charles B. Rangel; Criminal Justice Ethics, Vol.
The benefit provided by this plan to the struggling economy is a convincing point to ponder. The plan does have a major drawback and it is that we have done this before in 1986 and the illegal immigrant problem only got worse. If we continue to allow people to break our laws by living in this country illegally, and then reward them with citizenship we run the potential of increasing the number of people in the future that move her illegally thinking it is only a matter of time until we grant them citizenship, no matter their
