Comment on "We should build a wall between the United States and Mexico"

Comment:

I agree that we should not build a wall between the Untied States and Mexico. It does not seem practical because a majority of people coming over are coming by air and like you said "using their visa's wrong". Your comment about them not taking our jobs rings very true to me. They are taking the labor jobs that most Americans do not want to do in the first place, and if an immigrant were to get a high profile job then good for them because they probably would have had to work twice as hard to get there. They are most likely coming to America to escape poverty, abusive governments, or high drug and crime rates. I agree that the wall is not being built on the precaution of safety, it seems more like an egotistical power play on Trumps part. Immigrants are the backbone of our country, they are human beings like the rest of us, so they deserve a chance too.

Commentary on "The Year Justice Caught up with Trumpworld"

-
The article written by Michelle Goldberg, The Year Justice Caught up with Trumpworld , was published to the New York Times on December 14, 2018. The article itself is a commentary on how the people surrounding Trump are dropping like flies. The audience intended would be anyone who wants to read about politics or how the Trump Administration is doing. The article is embedded with links through out to back up her claims, as she is basically listing what people like Steve Wynn, Scott Pruitt, and David Sorensen have done, with links to the evidence. I appreciated as a reader how she included the links because in the past I have read articles that I could not find reliable sources for. Michelle Goldberg is also a Pulitzer Prize winner for her work with a team that wrote about work place harassment, so to me her credibility as a reporter is solid. The article made me realize that the Trump administration is actually getting repercussions. Maybe not as many as I would like, but enough that I

The United States should provide a Universal Health Care

-
The United States is one of the only "developed" countries to not have some kind of universal health care implemented for the population, and that needs to change. Americans, as always, hate change. We have always been stuck in our ways, but it is time for us to catch up. One of the biggest arguments against a universal health care system is the price. The United States is already spending up to $10,000 per person yearly.    But when you look at countries that have a universal healthcare system, they are spending almost half as much.  Sure it might take some time, but in the long run we would be saving money if we developed a similar system. If other developed countries have pulled it off, why can we not do it? One of the most common reason people file for bankruptcy in America is because they can not afford medical bills.  Countless families are torn apart every year when medical bills get too high. Our people should have the right of free health care. The rich should no

Our Government needs Gun Control

-
  It seems like there is a shooting everyday day now in our country, and little has been done to prevent it.  People were calling for change for forever, especially after the tragedies like Sandy Hook and the Colorado Movie Theater shootings over five years ago. A full on gun ban is not realistic right now, but certainly gun control should be able to be obtained. People in America hate change, but its not a hard reach to ask for background checks, to push the age to purchase a rifle to 21, to reintroduce mental health regulations into background checks, to push for gun safety courses for every purchase, and to push the ban on assault rifles.   Recently we have had the Pulse Shooting, the Las Vegas shooting, the Sutherland Church shooting, the Parkland High School shooting, the shooting at the Synagogue in Pittsburgh, and most recently the shooting at a bar in Thousand Oaks California. In 2018 alone, more than 12,000 people have died from gun violence. What has our government done to h
