Commentary

Ever since the last presidential election, the subject on keeping immigrants out of the U.S. has become more of the center of attention than any other issues the president tends to focus on. His idea of keeping immigrants out is by building a wall. Not just any wall but a "great wall" so "great" in his mind that he wouldn't even have to spend much because he wants Mexico to pay for it rather than the U.S. Why does he want this wall in the first place? well to keep out so-called "criminals", "drugs", and "rapists" as if that is the only things he envisions when he thinks of Mexico. I believe that the wall shouldn't be built in the first place. If the wall is built its supposed purpose is to maintain border security but in all reality, it would be more of a divider, to divide the U.S. and Mexico not just dividing the two countries but dividing Americans as well. With all the stereotypes placed on Mexico and its people, some Americans will view immigrants in the light they were put in by the president and with the idea of a wall being built to keep immigrants from coming to the U.S. many of those Americans will agree on having that wall built and will support in favor of the president and his future decisions on border security or the subject of deportation. And not only will it keep the two country's divided but the expense it would cost the U.S. in order to build it is a waste of money.
There is no point in building this wall because of the many problems it will cause and the many problems it has begun to cause. And the purpose of having this so-called "great" wall would be to keep out people who just want a better life and an opportunity to achieve their dreams and not have to worry about providing for them and their families.

Commentary critique

In the commentary "U.S. consuls already have the tools to discriminate in Visa decisions"  the writer discusses how discrimination against immigrants trying to receive a Visa or overstay their Visa is very biased. I believe the intended audience the writer is trying to convey these opinions to is someone who is affected by these Visa decisions or family of immigrants who are also affected as well as just informing the general public on the process and how these decisions are made. Also to explain the faults in this place of business. By using personal experience and scenarios the writer paints a clear picture of how a Visa interview might go or how they have gone and explains the turnout and aftermath of that individual who was denied a visa or was given a visa. The writer talks about the type of people who get turned down or people who would automatically receive their Visa. The discrimination towards these individuals is biased because interviewers mostly go ...

over night government shutdown

During the late night early morning on February 9th there was a brief government shutdown due to a massive budget deal that had been passed. USA TODAY  had published an article explaining what had happened in detail and a better understanding of why there was a brief shutdown, and also how this new budget deal affects us from here on. As well as mentioning DACA and what was discussed during the house session. Because this budget deal had been passed this means there will be additional funds added to military and nonmilitary programs as well as disaster relief funds. But due to a higher budget, there will be cuts to programs such as environmental protection, foreign aid, and health research.
