People's Point Of View

People that are in the U.S. are trying to make their life better.

Immigration Conservative

With the new president, a lot of immigrants families are terrified. Some people are saying that their families will be separated once more.

So I asked some random people about what they think about the new president. Is he really going to separate families, is he going to make America great by deporting thousands of immigrants? President-elect Trump says that by building the wall he will Make America Great Again.

I asked myself, Isn’t America Great? The U.S. is the riches country in the world, and it’s a very powerful country. America has great leaders that are working to keep America great. President Obama didn’t stop the deportation, but he also didn’t stop helping people that are undocumented, that are looking for opportunity. Hundreds of immigrants come to U.S. looking for a new life, for a new life for their children, after all, America is built by immigrants. Since the beginning, immigrants moved and started a new life in this country, which back then wasn’t a country. But in time it became a nation.

Now let’s go back about what people said to me when I asked them about Trump’s plan.

I asked some people, Why do you think undocumented people come to the U.S.?
Some people said, “To find a better job and living opportunities. Fulfil their education. Find freedom," and, "Some immigrants come to the U.S. because of war in their country or unfair leaders."

I also asked, Do you think by deporting people will make America great?
Some people said yes and some said no.
Those who said “no” gave me their opinion/point of view. Deporting people won’t solve the problem or make America great like Trump says, it will just settle things down. Deporting people will also affect the U.S. because a lot of undocumented people work on the farm and in companies.
Those who said “yes” also gave me their opinion/point of view. By deporting undocumented people it will make America great because a lot of undocumented people are doing drugs or transporting drugs into this country.

Statistically, not just immigrant or undocumented immigrants do drugs. Anybody can do drugs. In 2015 psychology did a survey that there are nearly 20% of whites have used cocaine. And there are 10% of blacks and Latinos have used cocaine.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
