Driving Is a Privilege, Not a Right

Today in Texas and the United States, there has been many issues that involve immigration. Many people assume that they are taking the U.S. citizens jobs which is causing many to lose their jobs or the insufficient amount of jobs there are. Or how they don’t belong here, and they should “go back to where they belong.” There are some pros and cons of having immigrants in the state of Texas, and if there is a way to compromise on this subject of if they should be allowed here or not. Also, if the state of Texas should have any play in the immigration policy. After reading the passage “Immigration in Texas” and the arguments both state senators Dan Patrick and Julio Castro were both very persuasive.

Overall, Bloom’s constituents will receive AB-2844 well. Assemblyman Bloom represents the 50th Assembly District of the State of California. The amended version of AB-2844 does not affect his constituents directly in the way that a bill on road repair would. This means that his constituents will not see the effects of this bill in their daily lives and thus are less likely to have strong opinions on it. Additionally, the amount of money this bill proposes to spend is insignificant when taking into consideration California’s budget, making the fiscal aspect of the bill a non-issue. Furthermore, the current form of this bill prevents public institutions from conducting business with entities that discriminate based on nationality. Majority of

This paper is about the Propisition 60 that will be voted on in California this November. It discuses the opposing arguments for and against the bill and what the consequences will be if the bill is passed. Also it will discuss as to whether the Proposition is best viewed from consensus or conflict view of law.

The writer, Maribel Garcia Ochoa, begins her piece with making the claim that because of Donald Trump being elected, California shaped this “defensive” attitude. Then Ochoa supported her claim with the evidence of the immigration policy issue. In addition, she believes that, “SB 54 would prevent the use of state and local resources to assist federal deportation efforts.” In fact, SB 54 has been recently amended in Senate on March 6, 2017. Another claim that Ochoa made was that California’s immigration policy was not completely for Asians it was also towards Mexicans. Ochoa used statistics, “Early into the ’30s, over 15 million Americans, about one quarter of all wage earners, were unemployed,” to show that once Mexicans entered California the unemployment rate of whites skyrocketed.

Do you know of anyone who drives without a license and is an undocumented immigrant? Well, in the United States, that is a large number that continues to increase. Ironically the U.S is built on working immigrants who need who need a way to transport back and forth from working. Immigrants are here to stay and not going anywhere, wouldn’t it make sense to allow them to get a driver’s license? This has sparked a national debate, having many state policy makers go back and forth.

Legislation has been approved in California to make illegal aliens ineligible for public social services, public health care services, and public school education at elementary, secondary, and post secondary levels.  News of the passage of this legislation has been received with mixed feelings not only in California, but throughout the United States. Due to the unconstitutional nature of the California law, it is necessary that it be thrown out.

In 1931, the California legislature barred any company doing business with the state from hiring “alien” workers on public jobs, forcing the removal of Mexicans from construction work, highway repair, school maintenance, and jobs in government buildings (Sanchez 211). At the same time, officials in Los Angeles

California citizens consist of 39% Latino, 38.8 White, 5.8% Black, 13.0% Asian, and less than 1% Native American (Lecture 2, California Diversity). It is stated that according to California Governor Jerry Brown’s new state budget, Latinos are projected to become the largest single racial/ethnic group in the state by March of 2014 (Hugo Lopez, Mark. 2014). The large increase in the Latino population over recent years has become such a huge media topic in today’s news because people think that America’s immigration policy and laws are too loose and are allowing people to cross the border illegally. Our current president Donald Trump believes that our immigration laws are horrible and allows criminals to cross the border into the U.S. which is making Americans lose jobs and cause crime rates to rise. He stated various time that he wants to make laws that would prohibit such people from coming over to America. This isn’t the first time that diversity has affected policies that the government has made. An example of this would be Proposition 187, the "Save our State" initiative. This initiative banned public services such as education and emergency care to undocumented peoples in California (Lecture 2, California

It is my recommendation that the California House of Representatives revisit AB 568 for a second vote in order to pass this bill into law after Governor Jerry Brown’s recent veto.

Do you really want to be stuck at home until you’re 18 doing nothing with your free time while your parents are gone? Don’t you want to be able to roam around places and probably take extracurricular activities on your own time and hang with friends too? Being able to drive is what many children in our society think about these days. When many teenagers reach the age of 15 ½ they are allowed to officially take their permit test to receive their permit for driving with an adult. After they have officially turned 16 they may take the behind-the wheel driving exam for a driver’s license, but the USA plans to change the driving age from 16 to 18. This idea seems to be a mistake seen in many ways. I believe that they shouldn’t change the

The article has no statistical evidence to support the ideas they provided. They also offer no statistics on how the revoking of a student’s license has made a positive impact on a student’s academic life. Therefore, I think taking away a student’s privilege to drive is unfair and would have minimal effect on improving their academic

Unquestionably, the most resented and controversial aspect of America’s immigration policy has been the growing concern over illegal immigration and its effects on the economy. During the mid 1990’s, public fury over illegal immigration reached new heights especially in the state of California, which borders Mexico. It was during this time when the United States witnessed one of the highest profile immigration bills in United States history emerge. Proposition 187, also known as the “Save Our State” initiative, appeared on the 1994 California ballot (Migration Dialogue 1994). Proposition 187 sought to restrict illegal immigrants from receiving public education, non-emergency medical care, and publically funded social services. Even though California voters passed this bill by a narrow margin, it was eventually overturned and never went into effect.

5 years before the passage of the legislature and was under the age of 16 when they entered the U.S., they would be eligible for a 6-year conditional residency status after completing an associate degree or two years of military service. If at the end of the 6-year period the individual has demonstrated good moral character, he or she could then apply for U.S. citizenship”, (DREAM, n.d.,2012). Its’ a small but, significant step for reforming an immigration system which in all reality is broken. Just image the endless potential for this nation and California as an individual economy to grow with such bright, talented and progressive minds. A melting pot of educated minds from all across the board ethnic backgrounds working in conjunction to better our world due to a better understanding of empathy for those less fortunate and in need of guidance and role models, that is what this batch of immigrants do and can do for this nation and state.

Teen drivers have the mentality were they are untouchable when behind the wheel. But it’s obviously to much to handle for them because when it comes to the facts to many teens die a year. In 2007, 4,200 teens in the U.S aged from 15-17 were killed and 400,000 were treated in the E.R for injuries because of car accidents (“Motor vehicle safety, Teen Drivers, page 1”). This just shows how irresponsible teens are while driving. In a national survey 12.5% of all high school students rarely wear seatbelts, this just asking too get hurt in case an accident happens (“Motor vehicle safety, Teen Drivers, page 1”). This just shows how teens have a bad mentality while driving. In 2005, 54% of teen deaths occurred between 3 p.m. and midnight on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. This statistic shows that one more reason why a teen would want there license is to get to a party or go
