Now when we hear a wall in our current era, we think of Trump's plan to build a wall between Mexico and the United States. ITS BOLOGNA. According to my my classmate Trump is in the right to do what he wants with illegals. Many immigrants migrate to the USA for a better opportunity. Why not welcome them here? Many say it's because they take all our jobs.... STUPID... They take the jobs that no one else wants and they are damn good at working hard. It is hard to see families torn apart because many people have been deported from the United States because of their illegal alien status, but why even bother with anyone? They work, they do their own thing, our country is big enough to support more people and feed plenty. I just think it's sad. My parents came here as immigrants back when Saigon was taken over by the communist in Vietnam. They had everything taken away from them in their country and fought their way over here to America. They became citizens and started a new life here. They know what it is like to have to be forced to a new place for a better opportunity and if you work hard, you can make it here. Our country was founded by immigrants, so I think we should be open to having more people here because the more diversity, the more respected (as a country) we will be.

Should our religious beliefs interfere with what should run our country? The answer to that is.. NO. There is a reason why we have the church separated from the state. Would you want to live in Puritan times where opinions are oppressed and a sin is equivalent to committing a felony? NO. With this post by Amy Sullivan, she speaks on behalf of a majority of democrats. The stereotype of a republican is a White person that is 99% religious and wants what is "best" for their country. But democrats are people, too. Just because someone believes in something completely different does not absolutely mean that they don't have a say in opinion, right? This post does talk about Trump... But how stereotypical he is by revealing how he is religious, but contradicts himself with his actions not only toward women, but everyone in general. Just because someone identifies as a republican it does not mean they are always a "good Christian," but democrats have the same identity too. I guess what this post is about is why put a label on someone when we can forget what we believe in and invest in what we need to do as humans to really make this place the "dream" country everyone wants to be in. I know religion is a touchy subject because there are still places in our country that will hide behind the bible to argue that their point is right. But let's be real here, I can guarantee those kinds of people who hide behind biblical verses saying homosexuality is a sin and pot is from Satan himself, are wearing polyester right now breaking something against the bible... It is unfortunate but I believe that if we were to truly remove our religious beliefs in office, we can have a calmer way of thinking and a set agenda to really get our country in the right place.  

Commentary on a classmates blog stage 8

What does the United States of America really think of Abortion? Well in today's sense we all have our opinions on it. According to this post it should be legal. I agree with that statement one hundred percent. I as a male cannot imagine carrying a child for 9 months but if it is not by choice then a woman has every right to do what she wants with it. It is inside of her. Women need a space for them to have the procedure done. Not only do they need the space, but it really needs to be covered by insurance to help them out if they cannot afford it. The unfortunate reality is if a woman is raped and bears a child, should she keep it? IT IS NOT MY PLACE TO SAY, it is completely up to her because she did not ask for anything to happen like that. Yes blame a woman's poor choice in clothing and makeup for some man to come up and basically attack her. It's a double standard for women. If the tables were turned on men and men had to carry a baby for 9 months I can guarantee that abortion would have been legal way back when. We need to give women in need the chance to live their life how they want to. They are also citizens of our country so why not help them out?
