American Rights
This article is very accurate.I also believe that this idea is ludicrous and insane. It is strictly against the Constitution the founding ideas of the government and just because a President who i might ad hasn't done the best job can just come along and change or break the rules of the Constitution and the 14th amendment. No man should be that powerful over the whole United States race. This idea would just instill more skepticism of the government and possibly stop some drug trafficking or big investigations but i think for the most part the program would be used to spy against the American people who should have their privacy. Isn't this the land of the free.... and now we have to watch what we say or how we talk with out probable cause. I think its just an issue that can be solved another way other than greatly effecting every American citizen, and who they communicate with. I am greatly in need of a new president and some drastic change and by coincidence that's Barrack Obamas campaign theme.

Immigration
In Steven Kreytak's article in the Austin Statesman article "More illegal immigrants are being charged criminally in Austin" Steven starts off his article giving the story of Edgar Rodriguez-Sarmiento. in this article Kreytak's explains Edgar's story on coming to the United States Illegally and getting sent back to Mexico with a felony in the states. Steven talks about Edgar's 2000 dollar smuggling fee into the United States and his public intoxication ticket that led to his new felony conviction of re entering the U.S. after deportation. In recent years in Austin three to five people a month were charged with returning to the United States after deportation. Now around 20 people a month are being charged of a felony crime of returning to the states. The immigrants can be charged with two to twenty years in prison depending on their previous convictons. their has been a 400 percent increase in people being charged of this crime within the last year. at the end of the article Steven Kreytak gives another example of Jaime Segura-Moreno who was charged with 17 months in prison for unlawfully transporting illegal immigrants. Jaime served his sentence and was found back in the prison system again in 2006 and this time sentenced to 5 years in prison for illegal re entry and 6 extra months for violating his probation time. over the years the illegal immigrants found in Austin have increased extremely. It seems that Austin is starting to crack down more on these cases and are starting to be more harsh on prison time. maybe this will slow down the numbers of immigrants found in Austin. |
