Homeland security secretary Janet Napolitano claims that the threat of retaliation is strong. As discussed in class, retaliation seems likely and America should tighten its security. The reports of a planned attack on the railroad system could be an indication of another significant attack on the United States and should be used to prevent such tragedies.

SB 1070 Goes to the Supreme Court

CNN Wire Staff. "Arizona Takes Controversial Immigration Law to Supreme Court." CNN. Web.

After a year of controversy, Arizona finally takes SB 1070 to the Supreme Court, in its hopes that the Supreme Court will "lift the injunction on the state's controversial immigration law." Joe Arpaio has already been found unconstitutional in his raids, but Jan Brewer claims she is confident that America will side with Arizona. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Obama's Facetiousness Reveals Itself

In America's history of presidents, Obama may just be the funniest. Out of all his humor and wittiness--or perhaps his assistants'-- he still manages to maintain seriousness and take care of business in America.

Immigration Discussion Reflection

One reason why I enjoy the class discussions in my class is because of the absence of ignorant comments. I was told that in other classes, many were disturbed by the ignorance. The day after our class discussion, a student in one of my other classes brought up the issue of immigration. The only points he could make were ignorant remarks. Aside from being interrupted constantly, I enjoyed the discussion. Good points were made and it seemed those that were speaking were informed quite well. One thing I enjoyed was the fact that Brigitte and I had the same thoughts and were able to speak alongside each other accordingly. It was nice being able to have someone to finish my thoughts. The entire class is always in some assent--SB1070 is wrong, immigrants are not actually stealing jobs-- and never in discord, which makes the discussions more pleasant. Immigration may be an inflammatory topic, but the class never failed to appease.
