The GOP’s Immigration Nonsense

    In the editorial, The GOP’s Immigration Nonsense, published in the Washington Post, the author makes two good excellent arguments regarding the illegal immigration to the general public.
    The first argument contains the author’s disagreement with the GOP’s remarks on illegal immigrants. The GOP believes we should have more security on our border to insure no illegal immigration. However, the author respectfully disagrees with GOP. He justifies his standing by stating “Border Patrol deployments have already tripled over the past 15 years, not counting 1,000 more officers being recruited and trained in the current year.” The author further explains his view by stating “Illegal crossings are at their lowest level in 40 years.” The author clearly portrays his argument.
    The second important argument the author makes is that the illegal immigrants don’t really hurt us or our economy. In other words, he means we don’t really have to see this subject as an issue. According to Governor Rick Perry, the illegal immigration is a big problem, but yet he believes that these immigrants “meet the labor market’s demands.” It’s true. Most immigrants from the south consume “low-wage jobs that the vast majority of Americans [don’t want].” They help the growth of U.S. economy, but yet they’re still seen as parasites.
    I totally agree with this editorial because the way GOP raised an issue on illegal immigrants, I think it is completely senseless. We should appreciate what these immigrants have done for us and we should not spend tax money on dumb projects like fencing the border.
    P.S. The Argument was presented by the Editorial Board, which uses many well-known references; therefore, the author appears to be credible.

Imagine the future for the U.S. Constitution!

    There is an article in the USA Today, Survey: Americans don't know Constitution, civics, which I found very interesting because it has appeared several times in the past and it continues to appear in the news even today. I really think one must take a look at this article for its insight about this topic.
    The article talks about how well we know and understand our Constitution. According to recent surveys, “[only] 15% correctly say John Roberts is chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, but almost twice as many respondents (27%) correctly named Randy Jackson as a judge on TV's American Idol.” This article further portrays some of the concerns our experts have. "These failings [to know and understand The U.S. Constitution] threaten the future of our democracy," wrote retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, in a column for The Philadelphia Inquirer. She further wrote, "If we don't know what makes this country special and worth saving, how will we know how to safeguard its promise of freedom and opportunity."
    These sorts of surveys often scare us because they represent the American Weaknesses in our own subjects. As the Tea Party Patriots released a coloring book to teach children about the Constitutional Convention of 1787 which includes puzzles, games and song, we should all make an effort to teach our younger generations the basic principles of our nation.
