week 15-Immigration

The Supreme Court has just declared new laws concerning immigration and the illegal acts concerned with it. While unimportant in of themselves the subject is still touchy. So the current situation with illegal immigrations is that many people are jumping borders to obtain otherwise impossible citizenship. While they feel its right it is causing problems with the country. Unemployment has skyrocketed and crime has as well.

My opinion is that it is only right for anyone to come into the country of the free. I know that immigration causes problems and it does have to be restricted but i wish that anyone could become a citizen easily. Of course terrorism is a major threat . So the imperfections of the world once again ruin society.

Week 14 - Korea

Today South Korea preformed a missile test which normally would be commonplace but under such strains is like an open threat. So naturally the North Koreans responded by threatening war. The Korean war was one that no side really won. The starting line was the same as the finish. Neither side gained any considerable amount of land or dominance and the two have been at loggerheads ever since. These displays of war theatrics are not only impressive in their might but in their honesty too. It is a very risky situation because war could easily be brought to bear again.

This situation really scares me. The leaders of North Korea have never been afraid to tempt others towards war and have certainly never been kind towards the U.S.A. This could very easily descend into a nuclear war if cooler heads dont calm the situation. Think of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The world knew that with a single temper that it could be destroyed. If even one man or woman acted rashly then the world might end. Lets hope that this does not descend into that.
