Immigration

America has many problems and a full agenda. One of these problems is immigration, which has a dramatic increase in the population and has its own problems. President Bush requested for a change in the nation's immigration laws and proposed to create a quest worker program that would allow immigrants to enter the borders legally and once the time period provided in the U.S. expires the immigrants have to go back to their native country until next time, its like asking for a Visa.

I like the idea of president Bush and I respect his help towards Immigrants but how are we going to be able to control them after we give them the temporary documents, how do we know that they went back to their native country, I mean I know that the government might keep some kind of record that tells them when its time for the Immigrants to go back to their country, but I mean how would the government know for a fact that the immigrants went back to their country and not in the United States living without legal papers, in that case the government would still have a problem with Immigration and might lose money by trying to create this program.

When the Republicans took over the House they rejected President Bush's plan by creating a bill and instead requested for deportation of all illegal immigrants and said that it would be against the law to offer them any help. I agree with the republicans on this subject because if we were to give the illegal immigrants papers what kind of message are we sending to all the countries, if we were to give them papers then that means anybody can come in through the borders and it would be OK because don't worry America will provide you papers and you will be taken care of even though you crossed illegally LOL.

Indeed it is a felony and it is against the law, we have to show other countries and nations that we are tough not mean but tough in protecting our borders and our people, we have to know who is coming in. A group of senators agreed on a bill that would create a quest worker program and provide citizenship to illegal immigrants and President Bush gave his full support but the Republicans rejected it and called it an "amnesty" plan. In my opinion if the bill passed America as we know it will never be the same, there would be too many people, too many problems, too much money will be spent and a hell of a time to give each immigrant legal papers and like the Republicans said it is an "amnesty" plan you cannot hand legal papers to someone who crossed the borders without any government's approval and then give them a citizenship, its like giving them grand prize but only because they did an illegal thing.

It seems like we are encouraging more people to come in through our borders. The government should make a plan that would focus on the national security concerns and law enforcement concerns before moving into elements addressing quest workers and creating a route for illegal immigrants to gain legal status. The point is that we have to know who is coming through our borders because there could be anybody coming through like terrorists for example, just recently about 3 month ago law enforcement at the borders spotted an Iraqi making a brake trough the borders and was arrested for questioning, because its just weird to have an Iraqi crossing the border from Mexico, all I know is that we have to protect our selves and our borders and it is indeed illegal to provide a citizenship to someone who crossed the borders illegally. Because they might think to themselves that since they crossed the borders illegally and got away with it and nonetheless was given a citizenship, what else can they get away with.

Bush Says Iran Nuclear Project Raises War Risk

At a conference today Oct,17 President Bush warned that Iran would be raising a "World War III" if they possess nuclear weapons and believed that Russia still wanted to prevent Iran from developing such weapons. Iran contends that its nuclear program is purely peaceful, but President Bush said that "if Iran had a nuclear weapon, it'd be dangerous threat to the world peace," he also tooled people if they are interested in preventing World War III, it seems like they ought to be interested in preventing them form having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon. Mr. Bush also mentioned that he takes the threat of Iran with a nuclear weapon very seriously. The united States has said that it is pursuing a diplomatic approach to Iran, including the threat of a new round of united Nations sanctions, but refused to rule out military action to halt Iran's nuclear program. But on Tuesday in Tehran Mr.Putin said that not only should we reject the use of force, but not to even mention it. President Putin has gone further, questioning what evidence the Americans and French have for asserting that I ran intends to make nuclear weapons.


I really enjoyed reading this article because its persuasive, making you want to read more and find out more about this issue. It also includes the French and the Russians president's arguments and opinions regrading this subject and also each others arguments. I personally fear for my safety and the safety of my country and it interest me to find out out about this issue and how is it dealt with , and what kind of actions are being taken. In my opinion I don't know why Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons while its people are starving and need more important things in their lives, what are they going to do with such weapons , are they going to fight Godzilla? similar to Korea who is developing nuclear weapons a poor country and it sounds weird that these countries are developing nuclear weapons. In this case I agree 100% with president Bush regarding this issue about Iran developing nuclear weapons. I think that it is in our best interest to keep our guards up on this, which Mr.Bush is doing and should be doing as a president. I recommend for everyone to read this article on the New York Times, it is very serious and it effects everyone.

Our Schools Must Do Better

"Our Schools Must Do Better" a very persuasive title from Bob Herbert from the New York Times discussing what is needed to improve our educational system. The article opens with Herbert asking a high school kid who the vice president of the united states was and the kid's response is " I don't know". The federal test results showed some improvement in public school math and reading scores but that is not enough, there is so much more that needs to be done. specially that now a four-year degree is all but mandatory for building and sustaining a middle-class standard of living in the U.S. says Herbert. Over the next 20 or 30 years, when today's children are raising children of their own in an ever more technologically advanced and globalized society, the educatonal requirements will only grow more rigorous and unforgiving. Herbert says that "What is needed is a wholesale transformation of the public system from the broken down postwar model of the pat 50 or 60 years. Herbert spoke with professor Thomas Kane who specializes in education and economics at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and this is what he had to say "We're not good at thinking about magnitudes. we've got a bunch of little things that we think are moving in the right direction, but we haven't stepped back and thought, OK.; how big an improvement are we really talking about?" The article goes on about the steps and the things that needs to be improved like teachers and to compare to other successful schools and to maybe learn from them. I really enjoyed reading this article and I am sure that you will too, in my opinion this is a topic that needs to be discussed and which needs to be addressed. What I liked about this article is the examples the author used and the resources and also by talking about this subject with professor Thomas Kane who has a background in education.
