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.
