re dep of justice

In response to my  colleague’s blog titled” Justice Department not so Justice “http://paigesusgovblog.blogspot.com . Good well rounded blog post. I agree with you on changing the way we run our justice department. We should make decisions based on facts. To make this post a little more meaty I would add more current events going on and what decisions our justice department have made. You could also add some ideas on how we could make changes in our justice department. Good post and good topic.

  I found this article titled” Why Don’t Good People Run For Public Office?” Written by Richard Brand   very interesting. The audience he is trying to target I think is the general american voting public. The authors strategic way of opening the article by giving the audience a small reflection gets one thinking regarding our voting choice and the people we have chosen as americans to lead this country. “That is they seem to be people with ideas that are off the chart. They refuse to accept the earth is round. They refuse to accept that science matters. They refuse to believe that the Holocaust happened.” I agree to an extent what this author is saying there are a numerous amounts of obstacles that keep the “normal” american people from running for office. The biggest example the author uses is money, which the author is completely right, when it comes to running for office money is something that is needed. The author gives other points on why good people don't run for public office. I would recommend the general public to read this article.  The author uses evidence from past elections, past events and  current problems we are facing as a nation.

Bill 4 response to colleague work

After reading my colleague Jorge's work regarding Senate Bill 4 that has recently been passed by the Texas house, I completely agree on what the outcome will be after this law if enforced. As Jorge mentioned . "A sanctuary city is essentially a city in the United States that shelters illegal immigrants by limiting government effort to enforce immigration laws" by taking this "safe" places not only will this break many families apart but this will bring a fear to all immigrants. Places like churches, and schools no matter what individuals immigration status is  these should be places to feel safe in. Now that this law will be enforced More and more deportations will continue to happen. As much as this country tries to deny it but immigrants have a huge impact in our American economy. When people start getting deported less consumption will happen our economy at some point will decline. When passing these type of immigration laws no many will understand unless you  or your family or friends  have been affected by this. If only our leader in this nation could stop and think about what they are really doing and to realize that immigration is NOT the biggest problem this nation is facing!!!!

the land of the free with a cost

This article by Manny Fernandez is about many immigrants who's remains have been found many years after. This article doesn't directly talk about our United States Government but I believe they have a lot to do with what this article talks about.
 More than 6,023 deaths have been documented as immirgrants who didn't make it along the way, many died of hydration, hypothermia, or hunger. Reminds found spread out though the lands of Texas.
With all these changes going through our American Government it is very disappointing to see how this nation has taken opportunities from immigrant families. New laws  have broken families.
Immigration isn't the biggest problem in this country, While many think it is it really isn't. Many people come to this country to seek a better life, a better opportunity. Many escape violence, poverty, and hunger. The article mentions how  many of the remins  have been found berried in milk crates a few miles aways from the Texas border check points. "Someone had buried an unidentified migrant in a milk crate and wrapped it in a red biohazard bag. Inside the lidless crate were skeletal remains — a cranium, ribs and other bones — and a red bandanna."  According to the article No DNA sampling was ever done, nor  the bodies were identified and according to the Texas rangers this is nothing illegal according to Texas laws. I think that just like our  government wants to enforce laws to send illegal immigrants back, they should  first worry about identifying the bodies of those who have lost their lives along the way and properly burying them. 

first 100 days

“FIRST 100 days “

As President Trump is now approaching his first 100 days  of being president of the United States of America I ask myself if all the promises he made while he was running for president were just to get the American people's vote.(anything for the votes right) According to Fox News President Trump has been a part in 16 meetings with foreign leaders , 17 meetings with business leaders, 21 cabinet nominees confirmed, 28 bills signed into law, and 485 tweets sent. Now this should be a big concern to the american people and a question many are asking. What has he really accomplished? Is he really qualified to be leading a nation ? How can the President of United States spend more time tweeting and talking nonsense instead of worrying about our nation's problems. From having political comments or argument to personal attacks, to complaints about the press to just in general having a self plug. I have to give it to the man, he can put on a show, but can he really handle America? What's most surprising is that congress seems to be okay with everything he does. I wonder how far he can go with these ideas. I get it 100 days might be a bit too soon to speak and judge the man but he's already started off on the wrong foot, the american people aren't to happy with what he has done, but there isn't much left but to hope for the best of this nation.

Freeeeee

I believe that college education should be free in this country. From my point of view I think that providing a free education to everyone will help individuals be more educated in different aspects. Giving people the opportunity to receive a free college education prepares people for better jobs. If you think about it, more educated means better jobs, better pay , and better living. So that may correlate with poverty or low income family's  numbers going down. Another way education can make an impact in our government is that reviving a free college education means more people  actually getting the opportunity to learn and educated also leads to individuals voting and making political decisions  based on facts not just on what the media or social media has to offer.  The better living aspect can correlate to people actually being educated about healthy life  choices,

Making better eating drinking and exercise   decisions when making these decisions Wich may lower health care expenses. 

 Having an education may help individuals have better jobs Wich can correlate to less people needing government help like welfare, since the most likely to have a good paying job that can help support average living standards Wich falls back to lowering poverty in the United States of America. 

Over all I think the outcome of having free college education is a lot greater and a better contributions to society and government as a whole rather than creating an economic problem. 

ITS NO JOKE

This morning when I saw the news report I was shocked to see all that is going on in our community. According to "My Statement- Austin American Statesman" ICE has reached central Texas in which they are sweeping people  and arresting across the state. It is very upsetting to hear the way they have been conducting this. Stopping random people just because of they way they look, talk, or dress questioning them and violating their privacy assuming they are all criminals. The article talks about where these ICE arrest are taking place. What the Austin Police Department has to say and do about the situation and how individuals are responding to this, many feel scared, others feel mad and others just pray and hope  and live with a fear of being deported. This article is worth reading it gives information on what ICE is attempting to do, how they have been doing things and some of the cases and arrest they have been doing throughout the city all in one day. I don't really know if safety is their number one goal at this point or if it's just assuming and generalizing. As a community it is very important to be informed of what is going on around and sharing and spreading the word to those who may be misinformed.
