Whats the deal with this thing called immigration!?


Immigration laws in this country are God awful. I say that with attitude if it is not noticeable. I personally believe if one has lived here their whole lives, since say Elementry School, should have the right to citizenships.
I come from personal problems with this issue. I suppose I should not name names, but a friend very dear to me since childhood has just VERY recently gotten citizenship. This is absolutely outrageous to me. She has lived here since she was literally 7 months old. Her family came here on work visas. They expired, and did not go back to Mexico. She has been illegally in this country for a long time and has even used fake socials. She has paid her taxes every year and never once had fraud with them. A huge factor to this is that she didn’t come here on her free will, it was her parents. (Rightfully so)
Obama has made notions to make many Hispanic immigrants resident but the senate makes a lot of these bills hard to pass. This is outrageous, now say we go back to the election of 2012; Obama got voted president because he got the Hispanic vote by promising residency. Now the thing about that is that some are still waiting and it’s already his second term.  Obamas idea was that if republicans were to go for immigration then they would get elected next term because they would get the votes.
Personally I believe that Obama has his ideas straight and his plan is set but he is not moving fast enough. I understand that there are a lot of people he has to go through first before any bill can be passed. Regardless of that, a lot of people really need this residency but it is just taking absolutely too damn long.

Guns take Control

       

After reading, Ann Coulters blog titled, BELTWAY GOPS: VOTE FOR US OR WE'LL BORE YOU AGAIN! I found a new aspect to gun control. I found that a huge amount of the people committing massacres, are actually mentally insane people. Can you believe that?
                 Ms. Ann Coulter argues that the democrats have all the power right now in our government and the republicans cannot do anything. Apparently a view that democrats have is that, mental issues do not show up on back ground checks when buying guns. Most people would think that that is not a problem. Why would mental issues show up on back ground checks? Since when does it ever affect anyone? Well it does. A lot of the shootings that have recently happened are ones of mentally ill people.
                Coulters intended audience is republicans, to get them to start acting and to ignore that the democrats are in charge and to not give up! Her credibility is pretty great. She has written many books about politics and is a well-respected blogger for her opinions. She also practiced law for many years.
                Personally, I have got to agree with her because she has a good point. She says that democrats are more worried about stigmatizing the mentally ill, rather than enforcing gun control. Honestly, if the mentally ill are the one ones causing most of these problems. Then why can’t the law be changed and why does it have to be so hard? If requiring people to not have past mental issues could stop a lot of people from dying from these rage attacks. Then shouldn't we be doing everything we can do, to stop it?
