Leak About Thomas Perez
Leaks of government affairs have always been common in Washington DC. When a person first hears the word leak, they most likely think of a story that was not meant to be published or shown to the public, but this is not always the case. Some politicians or government officials will “leak” information just to see a reaction from the general public. This tactic is called a trial balloon. This tactic is seen in an article that was posted in The New York Times in 2014 about the possible nomination of Labor Secretary, Thomas Perez, for Attorney General.
The New York Times article by Thomas Hulse “Labor Secretary emerges as a Top Candidate for Attorney General” talks about the high possibility of Thomas Perez being the leading

A trial balloon allows the White House to test the response to a potential nominee and unleash a round of public vetting before the president puts his prestige on the line”. This shows that a trial balloon is just a common tool for politicians in government to utilize. The president wanted to put out his potential nomination in order to see the response he would get.
The author of the article then goes on to talk about the response from both sides of the political parties. The author states that the nomination of Perez would be strongly supported from minority groups while Republicans would strongly disagree with this nomination. The author shows no preference as to whether he agrees with the President but instead examines both sides and the different responses he would most likely get. He states that the Republicans think that Perez is just going to bring in more illegal immigrants to take American jobs and that democrats believe his modest upbringing and the fact that he worked his way through college would make him a good candidate. President Obama can use all of this information when deciding on who he will eventually nominate for Attorney
The primary research question driving the article by Preston & Cushing inquires what the likely impact will be of the new executive order from Obama. Broken down further into subquestions, the article inquires as to the impact that this action would have for illegal immigrants wishing to remain in the United States, for conservative lawmakers who have vociferously opposed their presence here and for the general electoral process that the article predicts will be impacted.
At the time of the article the Hispanics as a whole were considered undecided in who they were going to vote for. The Hispanics find themselves very confused on who to vote for because all the candidates are appealing to them but they
In 2008, African-American presidential nominee Barack Obama garnered 67% of the Latino vote. In his bid for re-election, President Barack Obama acquired 71% of the Latino vote (Pew Research Center). With these statistics in mind, one can conclude that there has been a consistent growing pattern of continued co-operation between blacks and Latinos at the national level. This is in complete contrast however, to the mindset of some observers who believed that Latinos would not come out in the numbers they did because of racial bias and because of the fact that Obama received much less support amongst Latinos in the democratic primaries when faced against Hilary Clinton (Hero & Preuhs, p.3). Many people mistakenly thought this to be so because
When looking at political campaigns in recent years there has been increasing evidence in the parties’ campaigns for the support of this racial group as they are being targeted in the campaigns in a strategic manner, by campaigning in Spanish or supporting citizenship, or heavy focus on Hispanic candidates from the parties for examples the Republican focus was on candidates such as Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.
The amount of Latinos in this country is rapidly growing; the Latino community is 16.3 percent of the population. In the article written by Kate Linthicum, it is estimated that 40 million Latinos will be eligible to vote by 2030 and in 2014, 25 million Latinos were eligible to vote. In the previous 2012 Presidential elections, the massive amount of Latinos had a significant importance in the election. Both the Democratic and Republican political party aimed to receive the support of the Latino voters. This upcoming election both political parties will have to find strategies to win over the Latino vote. Neither the Democratic nor the Republican political party is a perfect fit for the Latinos in the United States. They both have some qualities
de la Garza specializes in immigration and Latino issues and has authored numerous academic papers on the theme of immigrants and immigration policies.
Perhaps one of the most ambiguous characters throughout Roman society was the hated, yet beloved gladiator. Courageous and daring, the gladiators of ancient Rome risked their lives every time they stepped into the amphitheater. Although the popular presumption from movies such as Gladiator is that becoming a gladiator amounted to a death sentence, this profession did not automatically make them dead men walking. Two scholars Fik Meijer, author of The Gladiators: History’s Most Deadly Sport, and Mary Beard, author of The Fires of Vesuvius: Pompeii Lost and Found, project general mortality rates for gladiators based on statistics from dipinti and graffiti, concluding how often they died and amount of pardons granted. Scholar Susanna Shadrake
In addition, Marcela said that Praeli and Figueroa work depends of the Latino democratic volunteers and members of the party, they are who have been expending the network around Virginia. But it doesn’t mean that Latinos are more likely Democrats, they’re more natural republicans. For example, George W. Bush won in 2014 a second term which had 49 percent of the Latino vote. Otherwise, the conservative hispanic expressed that they don’t reel part of either group. However, they prefer a candidate who helps undocumented people, college help, and support in credits. Also, they think that economy, terrorism and health care matters. Morover, Latino-catholics citizen expressed that although they don’t agree with Donald Trump in many ways, they’d support him for him law-abortion policy.
Government intervention was needed, and an investigation had to be started. Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, in a press release, focusing on the findings of the investigation, stated: “Our findings show that the problems facing the NOPD are wide ranging, systemic, and deeply rooted in the culture of the Department” (The United States Department of Justice, 2011). A sustainable reform was needed.
Sports were created for the enjoyment of beings and friendly competition. Today society has shifted the friendly competition to more of a money based system rather than fun and games. The typical athletes’ road to success is starting from a young age, playing in high school, and then receiving a scholarship for College and all athletes overall objective is to constantly get better and play professionally. Universities have really manipulated athletes in the world today giving them “free education” for the exchange of their blood, sweet, and tears, while they receive revenue that athletes bring in yearly. It is very evident that College athletes deserve to be paid, and universities need to find a way to pay them a reasonably amount because
Since the majority of Latinos are not legal citizens; therefore, they cannot vote in an election (Ginsbert et al, 2013). For the Latinos that can vote are more likely to vote Democratic. Voters for the Democratic are seen as urban countries, with large minority population, older and native Texans (Ginsbert et al, 2013). Teachers, business men and women, and citizens with higher educations are more likely to vote depending on who is running and their platforms. Hispanics and African-American are seen voting more for the Democratic candidates and whites voting for the Republican candidates (Ginsbert et al, 2013). Women are move likely to vote Democratic than men (Ginsbert et al,
Hispanic and Latinos are the fasting growing portion of the electorate and these groups are expected to outnumber all other racial and ethnic groups in the near future. Street et al (2015) address the potential impact that mass deportation of Latinos and undocumented workers will have on the future of Latino partisanship. While the Democratic Party is known for liberal policies and progressive solutions to social issues the Obama administration (averaging 400,000 removals each year) is linked to policies of mass deportation that will influence the attitudes of Latino voters and their perceptions of the Democratic
Everyday citizens often live unaware of their government’s inner workings. The knowing of political espionage is often too heavy of a subject to be inducted in conversation. True, prima facie, modest twists and turns of information may not be considered substantial, but this inconsideration leaves much to be uncontrolled. It is easy for political leaders to become power crazed, to not realize the massive implications that come of their actions. Only after all is said and done do the people actually realize their government is an opaque mask of deception. The Watergate Scandal substantially impacted Americans’ trust in their government.
