I agree with the point made across on http://whitneylapier.blogspot.com/ titled “Immigrant Control-Comment on Capital Politics Since 1776 Blog” written by my friend Whitney. I believe that growing numbers in population because of immigrants slams the United States. It seems that many do not think of the long term effects of this increase.
Border control is raging out of control in America. Thousands of immigrants flood the Mexican/ U.S. border every day. The population of America is growing out of control and something needs to be done about this. America will eventually dig its own grave if it becomes too over populated. This land cannot remain the world power if millions flood into the U.S every year.
My side of the argument is limiting immigration to the United States and having tighter security along America’s borders. Because there is no international obligation for any nation to allow others to enter or to work, in fact, most nations do not admit immigrants for permanent settlement. Mass immigration has played a significant role in the economic history of the United States, nevertheless the harsh fact is that what may be necessary and beneficial at one time, may not be so at another.
America needs to step and draw the line somewhere. There are many points that can be made about immigration problems to the United States. The most obvious is taking jobs away from many Americans. Not all immigrants take lowlife jobs that Americans do not want. Immigrants are taking the jobs that Americans are currently holding because of the low-wages that employers pay immigrants. An American cannot compete with someone who will work for half of what they are currently making. Therefore, I think, “if the government can create a very detailed and direct process for becoming a citizen”, as Whitney’s and Eddie’s have said,” it could have the possibility for some lasting effects.”

The United States Should Leave Iraq...
After reading my friends blogs I found that I definitely agree with my friend, Sarmila Bhatta http://www.sarmila-letsexplorepolitics.blogspot.com/ . She wrote about five years in Iraq. she argued whether war with Iraq is something to be proud of? Or is it worth it? Did we had another option to choose?
As our brave men and women in uniform find themselves embroiled again in a conflict in the Middle East, debate surrounding the timeliness and necessity of this second Gulf conflict has ceased in most professional circles. However, before the current conflict began, controversy raged over when and how to best prosecute this situation. Many argued that the United States should have worked through the United Nations to pursue a resolution that had the consensus of the world behind it. That endeavor, however, was doomed to failure from the start. The United States sought to solve this dilemma using military force. France and Germany desired to diffuse it using anything but force. In order to properly evaluate all options in this case, one must ask themselves how immediate a threat did Saddam Hussein pose to the United States and what is the best way to counter that threat? In my estimation, Saddam Hussein poses no immediate threat to the United States.
As my friend said “invasion in Iraq five years ago proved to be a failure”. Because what does the United States have to gain from a war with Iraq? The United States is in a tough situation. This country has gone to war without the UN’s approval, and now has more casualties than when the war officially ended. Now, the war could cost taxpayers $87 billion dollars, and more if the war drags on. The situation is at the critical point. If the Bush Administration does not leave Iraq, we will lose thousands of troops, spend billions sending more troops to Iraq, and we will lose the faith of the international community.
