Border Control

Border Patrol was founded in 1924. It was to prevents immigrants to come over the U.S.-Mexican Border and the U.S.- Canadian border. The first stations were in El Paso, Texas and Detriot, Michigan. After 9/11, the main point of border control was to prevent terrorists from attacking the U.S.
Today border control is a huge contraversial issue between Americans, especially in Texas. People want a huge fence to keep out unwanted Mexicans. But who's to say this will really work? I think that it will be successful, because even though it will cost a lot of money to construct it, we will end up saving money in the long run. They are taking our jobs, and we are paying for some of them to go to school.
A new law in Arizona states that they have the right to check anyone that they chose to see their papers to prove that they are legal to be in the United States. Some say that it is racist, but I say that it's only to help protect the economny and jobs in the U.S.

Myth: Gun Control Reduces Crime

Gun Control

What is Gun Control? People think that guns should be banned from everyone in the United States to reduce violence. However, what is violence? According to dictionary.com, violence is the exercise or an instance of physical force, usually effecting or intended to effect injuries, destruction, etc. No where in that defination does it say that guns are the automatic source for violence. Violence can be any form of hurting. If someone has mental problems and they are violent, they are not going to rely on just guns to be violent. There are other forms of violence. They can use other weapens such as knives. Getting rid of guns will do nothing except cause different violence. If we got rid of guns then we might as well get rid of knives too, because they can cause violence as well.
Gun Control will clearly not work. In 1919, Prohibition banned owning, producing, and selling alcohol. This didn't work, because it just caused people to rebel. It would be the same situation. We need to learn from the past and quit repeating our mistakes!
If we banned guns then hunting would no longer exist, overpopulating some animals like deer. This is just an all-around bad idea.
