Naturalization

Fears of a strong federal government encompass many Americans’ minds because of concern that a monarchy will, once again, control them like it once did under British rule. The Constitution, although a

The situation of gun control has been an issue for many years. The Second Amendment states that we as citizens have the right to bear arms and to protect ourselves. When the Constitution was first made the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is the heart of the issue of gun control. It also states "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed". The states declared that the Amendment was only created to allow the government to bear arms. The way it reads though is that it grants the rights of all people to bear arms. There have been cases brought before the Supreme Court that has fought the right to bear arms and used the amendment to protect their rights. The government does not have the right to take away the guns from the people but is able to control the manufacturing, sales, and possessions of guns.

Throughout the years there has been an ongoing debate over the Second Amendment and how it should be interpreted. The issue that is being debated is whether our government has the right to regulate guns. The answer of who has which rights lies within how one interprets the Second Amendment. With this being the case, one must also think about what circumstances the Framers were under when this Amendment was written. There are two major sides to this debate, one being the collective side, which feels that the right was given for collective purposes only. This side is in favor of having stricter gun control laws, as they feel that by having stricter laws the number of crimes that are being

Through the years there has been an ongoing discussion on the Second Amendment and how it should be clarified. The issues that are being discussed is whether the government have has the right to manage guns. There are possibly two sides to this Second Amendment debate, where one is the collective side, which that the right was given only for collective ambitions. The collective side is in more favor since it has stricter gun control laws, that being said the government feels that having stricter laws on guns would lower the number of crimes that are committed with guns which would help save thousands of lives. Meanwhile gun control laws may subtract the criminals’ access to purchase or obtain firearms, in addition, the same law would limit

Trump doesn't want any immigrants in the United States. The reason why Trumps wants to build the wall is that he wants to keep all the criminals, drugs, gang, and violence out according to Fox News. The budget plan for border security is $23 billion and $18 billion for building the border. Also, the prototypes will be 30 feet tall and 30 feet wide and it will cost up to $500,000. In other words, he says

“The boundaries of the Second Amendment do not coincide with the boundaries of gun control” (Blocher and Miller, 2016, p.296). Guns and the idea of gun control have been a high valued topic, between the Federal Government and state governments since the beginning of the 20th century. How strictly guns should be regulated is a common topic between the Federal Government and state governments, especially with the increase in mass shootings over the years. Although there are regulations set by the Federal Government, most of the time, it falls on state governments to mandate guns because it is easier for each state to determine what is best for it and the people that live there. State governments are more closely related to the people in

Gun Control laws are violating Constitutional rights and stopping individuals from adequately protecting themselves, resulting in tyranny. The Second Amendment guarantees “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The word infringed means actively break the terms of (a law, agreement, etc.). A synonym of infringed is restrict, which means put a limit on; keep under control. Thus in both a literal and figurative way, gun control is unconstitutional, and the Supreme Court ruled that states and the national government can’t deny people's constitutional rights.

The ongoing debate about gun control i largely intertwines with the 2nd Amendment. In 1791, our founding fathers ratified the 2nd amendment to the constitution, allowing the “right to bear arms”. As law-abiding citizens, we should exercise our right to carry a gun responsibly. A large portion of the American population feels that any form of gun control enactment would infringe on their rights as a gun holder and eventually eliminate their privilege to possess a firearm. Which could possibly lead to challenging other civil liberties. However, due to the carnage left from mass killings, mentally disturbed attacks, assault weapons, and terrorist, stricter

Some Americans feel that because guns are already regulated in so many other countries, America should just follow suit, while others believe guns both represent and help guarantee our independence, our liberty, and our freedom to make our own decisions. The founding fathers anticipated that gun control could become a serious issue in the future, so they added the Second Amendment to the Constitution. The Second Amendment states: “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.“ Most gun control activists focus in isolation on the beginning of the amendment where the founders wrote that a well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state. They then try to argue that only the military or the National Guard should have access to guns, not individuals. In so arguing, however, they completely ignore the last part of the Second Amendment, which provides that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The founders obviously envisioned that the people would keep and use firearms to protect themselves and their country. Unfortunately many politicians don’t see it that way. Yet, the Supreme Court has struck down firearm bans again and again. The 2008 Supreme Court case, District of Columbia vs. Heller,

To get to understand Immigration you have to know what immigration is, the word Immigrant means,”Someone who is a Non-United States citizen in America or planning on going to America with the intent to reside here permanently.” There is multiple methods to becoming a United States citizen, Spouse of a child, immediate relatives, His/her employment, refugees (someone fearful of persecution), and Naturalization. Naturalization by far the hardest, has some fairly sequential rules, 18 years of age, a lawful resident of U.S.A., a good moral character, have lived in the U.S. for a prior five years, and probably the hardest part the test. The test has gotten so difficult that the pass rate is a 72.2% (by a 2012 study). The test is divided up into

As for his plans to build a wall, most see this as absurd and pointless. It is a threat to our environment, as it would threaten endangered species and possibly endanger more. Over time it could affect the migration of animals as they accommodate to our worlds harsh climate changes. Immigrants are coming in legally on visas then overstaying their visit when it’s up so if we should monitor them and make sure they go back when they are supposed to. There is already a border in place that covers the most important parts that need security. The time and money used on this wall could be used in more important areas. The schools in our nation could benefit greatly from the wealth we could provide. Illegal immigrants will always find a way into our country and we can fight to make it tougher for them to do so but it’s not our nation’s biggest issue. President Trump needs to look at the long-term effects of this wall on our environment, where the money could be spent elsewhere and do some research to see how most illegals are getting into the U.S and go from

Facilitated naturalization can also help the economy in the same way that technological innovations do. There still exists a large pool of minimally paid wage-earners, even with the influx of highly skilled workers, which keeps costs low and raises standards of living. The American economy has grown vastly dependent on these immigrants who do undesirable work imperative for society, especially in the agricultural industry (Semuels, “Business Owners Getting Vocal on Immigration”). Journalist Alana Semuels has dairy farmer Joe Wright elaborate on this predicament, and Wright explains that because of past anti-immigration laws, he has been forced to hire as far from the U.S. as Africa and Europe, raising expenditures for him and consumers. Many farmers are demanding immigration reform that will allow for them to have year-round employment, seeing as their biggest source of labor comes from immigrating Hispanics, farmer Joe Wright confirms (Semuels, “Business Owners Getting Vocal on Immigration”).

“A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” The right of all Americans to bear arms is a right the Founding Fathers held to equal importance as the Constitution itself. Gun control laws directly violate this right and therefore should not even be under consideration. Even if that issue is overlooked, gun control advocates state that in order to reduce firearm related violence, gun control laws must be implemented to remove the violence caused by firearms. Although this may seem reasonable, the consequences of such laws are ironically counterproductive; they exacerbate the problem instead of fixing it. Besides the fact that the American

Gun control infringes on the Second Amendment right of the American people.  The Second Amendment reads, "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" (Adams).  In researching gun control, the government is not sure which way to enforce the law because they can not determine the fair interpretation of the amendment.  Even though gun control is suppose to reduce fire arm related crimes, it only makes it harder for law abiding citizens, or officers of the law to attain guns.  According to Hogberg there was a specific case of Heller vs. Washington D.C. that made a huge impact.  Dick Heller was asked to defend the people of D.C. against the government to gain the rights to own a hand gun.  The right of owning a hand gun in Washington D.C. was revoked in the early 1970's, but in 1976 an incident of a shooting changed
