When evaluating California Senator Dobb’s proposed Bill 135, one should ask whether it will be effective or will this Bill only fall short with education budget cuts. There are benefits when social strategies are taught to school age children, unfortunately with social medians rapidly change, it will be hard to identify the success and effectiveness in the near future. Perhaps the better strategies are those constantly been developed by social networks and social news media giants, for example, Facebook, Instagram, and NPR. In December 2016 Facebook launch tools for their users to be able to identify and combat fake news, similarly, NPR informs their readers is ways to identify fake news by performing simply self-investigative steps (Ball, 2017). Heppard suggest assessing the story’s credibility; reading pass the headlines, background check on the author, biases being portrayed, and using fact-checkers websites ((Heppard, 2017). By evolving with the constant changing platforms, these social networks and social news media are effectively keeping their users up to date with informative and strategies to identifying fake

Many American citizens are responsible for illegal Mexican immigrants’ determination to enter the United States because numerous American citizen’s revenue money, drugs, and fame as a lifestyle which makes America the center of attraction for illegal immigrants to cross the border. It is clear that most Mexican immigrants transport an abundant amount of money payments and drugs across the U.S. border in return for more money so gangs and cartels can earn a recognized status through money and respect. Citizens of the U.S. have impacted and altered the American social economic status in a negative way. Most Mexican immigrants travel north in groups to cross the United States border to achieve their goal; live a better life so they can support themselves and their family. Although there are U.S. customs and border patrol agencies that have a duty to protect and secure the border from illegal aliens entering the U.S., some still successfully cross and enter the U.S. -Mexican border illegally. In the book The Devil’s Highway, Urrea explains the “Rules of the Game” where illegal immigrants experience a traitorous journey depending on their guides. Their country and group leader fail to successfully support the group and citizens of Mexico.

When immigrants initially arrive to America, they arrive with distinct goals from one another, some here to start a fresh and better life than in Mexico, but others with an ulterior motive. The threat of terrorism and crime has only increased since immigrants from Mexico started arriving. While all crime cannot be directly pointed to solely immigrants from Mexico it still, however contributes to the rise of terror that occurs in America. A considerable amount of drugs present in the United States is linked to Drug Trafficking Offenses (DTO) from Mexico. Morris states “Since 2006, more than 60,000 people have been killed in the DTO-related violence, and more than 26,000 have gone missing.Despite enormous casualties, including members of U.S. law enforcement, the turmoil in Mexico does not receive nearly the level of scrutiny or attention from the U.S. government

Check” by Alyssa Rosenberg describes possible strategies that can be used when an individual is trying to figure out if the information found online is true. Rosenberg and her colleague David Ignatius asked individuals what outlets and writers did they had confidence in and to explain. Most of the people interviewed said that they trusted writers and individuals who passed along stories. Nick Baumann a senior editor at Huffington Post provided questions that people can ask themselves to ensure that the information on social media is credible. The author’s thesis is to help individuals who have trouble on judging what information online is true and to not get tricked

An analysis on the complex issues of United States border security and explores the issues of why millions of dollars are being spent on new ways to make the border a more secure one. He argues that the Department of Homeland Security has created a violent environment especially after September 11, 2001 and has violated the rights and dignity of undocumented individuals using harsh military strategies. He tells the story of how undocumented individuals are victims of the Border Patrol as well as to President Obama’s deportation strategies and policies that continue to break so many families apart. Miller also argues that 9/11 gave federal authorities the green light to become a strong occupying force at both the U.S. – Mexico border and the

As recent as the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, U.S. citizens have realized we are vulnerable to attacks within the United States. This realization is a valid concern because terrorists could also gain access through this border. The U.S. Border Patrol has a term called other-than-Mexican (OTM). Buchanan (2006) stated, “A growing number of OTMs caught at the border now come from the Middle East” (p. 15). It is important to remember that these Middle Easterners are caught at other points of entry, and not just the U.S.-Mexico border. This does show a significant paranoia that many Americans have. This paranoia can lead to Americans supporting increased border protection. Governor’s Richardson, Napolitano, and Mr. Buchanan all share a similar point of view regarding more security on our border. Not all Americans share this opinion.

Despite the many battles overseas and the threats from Islamic terrorism, The U.S needs to prevent terrorist from entering U.S soil. In Mark Krikorian’s “Safety Through immigration Control” article, Krikorian suggests that The Department of Homeland Security needs to control immigration because it is critical for the United States’ safety. In addition, weather the terrorists use guns, airplanes, or bombs, they cannot be let in U.S ground. Krikorian presents a study conducted which finds that almost all sections from immigration systems have been pierced by the opposition. Of the 48 Al-Qaida operatives who have committed terrorizing attacks since 1993, almost 33% of them were on different temporary visas. Another 33% were accounted as legal citizens in the U.S, and 25% were on U.S soil illegally. The 8% left had pending asylum application granted them entry to the States. Furthermore, With Al-Qaida adapting and improving their ways of attacks

“Recent information from ongoing investigations, detentions, and emerging threat streams strongly suggests that al Qaeda has considered using the southwest border to infiltrate the United States. Several

The people who believe that border violence has increased recently have statistics to back this up. One such statistic is that more Americans were killed in Mexico in 2009 than in 2007. They point to this as evidence that violence against Americans has increased “ from El Paso, Texas, 23 Americans were killed in 2009, compared with two in 2007” (Conery & Seper). Government officials in border

Cities on both sides of the Mexican-American border are continuously terrorized by drug cartels as a way to keep control over shipping routes and silence from citizens. (Wilkinson 2008) In 2010 an employee of the United States Embassy in Mexico was murdered along the Mexico-American border. This added tension to the ongoing drug trafficking problem and raised the issue of Mexico’s inability to control its own borders. Felipe Calderon, the President of Mexico, stated that he is seeking a stronger relationship with the United States. The effects of this relationship can be seen on the streets with the intensified level of violence against the drug cartels and the effectiveness of the government. (Dresser 2009)

In the last few decades, globalization has opened avenues for trade, created new markets, and increased the porousness of borders; however, a feeling of national susceptibility stems from this relaxing of borders and fuels a securitization of movement along the U.S.-Mexico border. This constructed human security framework along the southern U.S. border also allows the U.S. government to exercises extraordinary, and even military means, to combat the perceived issue.

The United States has led the fight against criminal activities from Mexican borders for many years. Criminal activities along the United States and Mexican border range from drug trafficking, human smuggling and an economy that disruptive. These are illegal activities scholars have argued could lead to the failure of Mexico as a country and the spread of violence to the United States. The illegal activities are not only a threat to the economy of Mexico and United States but also to the rest of the world due the impacts associated. The border between Mexico and US is of essential significance because it provides the link between the two countries. The border provides passageways through which either country can access the other via land or air means. Although the border is of significance to both countries, smuggling of drugs and trafficking human are main causes of violence between the countries. Drug cartels in Mexico smuggle drugs into the United States and this drives a war between them and the US government. The economy and the peace between Mexico and US is also affected significantly due to the illegal activities. To minimize the violence caused by these illegal activities, the US government need to act against the activities. The United States needs to increase the economic aid and military intervention to Mexico to fight the drug cartels, otherwise it could become a failed state; spreading more violence across the US border.

As the world evolves and changes due to the explosion of technology, so does mankind's ways of intellectual comprehension of informative news. The present day of news has overemphasized the meaning of fake news; which represents any form of false information that is illustrated as factual news. That tends to spread throughout the internet and the media. Misinformed news has taken over the world in so many ways, such as the birth of satirical and sketchy news, the financial motivation to publish actual false news, and difficult to sustain news.

The recent surge in popularity of social media comes with a price: fake news. Fake news is defined as news or media that has been altered or modified. Journalists have begun to analyze why that fake news exists and why it continues exist. Two authors, Eoin O’Carroll and Kevin D. Williamson, both have written articles about fake news. Eoin O’Carroll’s article “How Information Overload Helps Spread Fake News,” discusses how the media has bombarded us with news stories, blurring the distinct lines between real and fake news. Kevin D. Williamson, a journalist for the National Review, writes in his article “‘Fake News, Media and Voters: Shared Reality Must Be Acknowledged” that the news is not fake; it just does not align with one’s personal beliefs. Both authors successfully appeal to their audiences’ emotions and feelings, but O’Carroll is more likely to succeed than Williamson in persuading his audience to try and combat fake news because the writer presents himself as someone the intended readers will more readily identify with and offers evidence that his readers will find more compelling.
