The article “Backlashgrows over release of detained illegal immigrants” by Stephen Dinan is about whether are not it would cause more to detain immigrants or to release them. The releasing immigrants are being supervised, either through electronic device or by a check-in requirement. Reps. Hunter and Salmon feel that this method is more expensive to pay to track the released immigrants. Conversely ICE Director John Morton says, “It actually ends up being cheaper when people are in detention because they move much more quickly.” Whether or not releasing immigrants is cheaper for the budget it is still questionable. We have to keep in mind that by releasing the immigrants we are actually putting things at risk. The budget of financing a way to track the immigrants released and the life of people at risk if an immigrant released decides to go MIA. Some people say that no one changes whether that is true are not these are criminals and tend to what they are feeling in that moment so if they decide to get revenge on someone they hold responsible for their incarceration. If detaining them until they are deported saves money and possible life’s there is no need releasing them and spending money and there is a better solution that is cheaper. I don’t see why anyone would want to  spend more money are create a bigger hassle for themselves so if keeping the prisoners detained is better than releasing them we shouldn’t even think twice about what to do.

 

The article “Korean war part 2?” by choe sang-hun is about North Korea’s plan to nullify the armistice they have had for 60 years. The tension on the Korean peninsula is not new even since World War II this country has been battling for power over the entry peninsula. North Korea being an isolated, poor, and totalitarian country seems to still have animosity toward people of South Korea a democracy and more wealthy country. The young North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un seems to be desperate, with his country’s economy deteriorating and more death due to starvation this leader now wants to put his country back on the map. Revealing that they now have a nuclear bomb, the missile is aimed toward the US but most like with not hit the main land of the US but instead hit the South Korea and with over 28.000 American troops still stationed there. This animosity between south and North Korea seems to be because of North Korea’s jealousy toward South Korea in the south they have almost double the amount of things the north has and the north feels that it is unfair for the south to be happy and the people of the north living in despair. So maybe Kim Jung Un plan is to defeat the south along with their allies and put the north on top and be able to rule the Korean peninsula or maybe he’s just trying to keep his people under the influence that he is a great leader and protecting them from invades. 

The article “time for a raise?” by Patricia Smith is about Obamas plan to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 to $9. A person that now makes $7.25 an hour would be making $9 an hour giving them more money with every hour they work and making the long hours they work worth it. This raise can be good as much as it can be bad. The upside of raising the minimum wage could be that low income families could make more money and it can make a big difference. This could also be good for the economy because the more money people make the more they will spend which could mean stores hiring more people to work and the employment rate will raise and more taxes will be paid. People would also now be able to afford what they need to survive on a monthly check now that’s it will be more. People would not have to struggle and worry. As much as it could be good for many families it can also affect those families with businesses. Business owners would be the predominant people that would get affected by this; this would mean that they would have to pay more which means they would not have less income due to the bigger pay check they would have to write. It could also cause some companies to let go of workers. Whatever decision is made it will affect some in a bad way but it will also affect some in a good way. 

Cheater

Limp pacing and countless shots

A couple’s therapist imparts to a cheating wife

Childhood friends now

As spouses, they live in Washington

A minister she admonishes her daughter

Easy prey for seductions

But even prayer can’t save her from a cruel heavy-handed lesson.

I chose to write my poem from an article on Tyler Perry’s new movie “Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor” because it seem to have caught everyone’s attention and it seem to be a very interesting. My poem points out the main problem for a therapist wife who turns to cheating after her husband seem to be forgetting about her.  She ignores the warnings of her mother and then her relationship with her new found lover seems to go all wrong. After I found this article it was pretty easy to write my poem finding the meaning or deep words and phrases to tell a short story. To me it was definitely worth writing a poem from the article because I could go deeper than the movie using words.

The article “slaughter of the African Elephants” by Samantha Strindberg and Fiona Maisels is about the amount of elephants that are being killed for their ivory and how close these spices are to being extinct. Throughout African the number of wild elephants are decreasing and decreasing. Elephants are being killed and striped of their tusk that holds ivory which is used for various amount of things like carving statues. But the poachers are not the only reason why elephants are decreasing in number. Habitats’ being destroyed has contributed in the shortage on forest elephants, but the predominant reason is of poachers. The more poaching takes place the less elephants have to reproduce the spices line which is also taking a tole on the Eco system. The greed of man has surpassed men and is moving on to the animals of the wild. The animals we need to keep the Eco system in order. It is obvious that the poaching of these elephants is caused by the want for ivory from people over the world. If people just find another way to do things by going around the use of ivory the poaching will decrease allowing elephants to increase. The thought of earths precious animals are being killed to satisfy the greed of the human population is obscene and people would not want that to happen to the human race so we should be considerate of earth’s animals and fight to keep their spices alive not kill them and be the cause of yet another spices of animals gone extinct.

The article "South Dakota Law to Allow Teachers to Be Armed" by the AP is about the governor of South Dakota signing a bill that allows teachers and school personals to be armed with guns. The bill was said to be passed with 40-19 votes and has been controversial seen been signed. Many support the governor’s decision for allowing teachers and school personals to be armed saying that it will prevent any tragedies from happening like to one in Connecticut. Bill sponsor Scott Craig said, “Rural districts do not have the money to hire full-time officers, so they are interested in arming teachers or volunteers.” The fact that the school district cannot hire a well-trained officer to protect the school they have to make sure that the children in the school district are protected and parents can feel good that their children are save because they will be protected. Even though this bill has many supporters there are people that think signing this bill can be unsafe because the thought of the fire arm falling into the wrong arms has surfaced and people think that it is only a way in danger students that attend theses schools   or provide possible intruders with a weapon. If passing this bill helps the school district save money  and has the safety of the students and school staff in consideration why not do it, if teachers know how to handle the weapon, use the weapon with care and place the weapon in a safe place that it is hard to be seen passing this bill is a good idea.

The article “sisters in arms” by James Dao is about the US military now allowing women in combat. The role of a woman in the army was most y known as a care taker but now women are saying that they can be much more that care for wounded men on coming combat. They can handle the difficulties that come with being on the battle field. Women were prevented from being apart combat primarily because the US military feared that women would have the strength needed while in action or if women would be able to pull the trigger when the time comes. Throughout the wars that have taken  place from 2001 women have made up about 12 percent of them, these women have left their families, their babies and partners fight for their country and it would not be fear that they are not taken seriously  or seen as incapable of doing what they may want to do. The US military not allowing women in combat is like telling them take they don’t have what it take to get on the battle field and fight like man can it’s like telling them there are not good enough. Women are in charge of their own strength and know there their capabilities so if they think they can handle what comes being in combat there is no way the US military can tell them no they can’t. The women in the army has put themselves in harm’s way to help a fellow soldier and proven themselves over and over that they can indeed do what a man can and that’s why they have now decided to allow women in combat.
