Anderson

So...Anderson is a pretty awesome school. The students and the teachers are all pretty different from each other, especially the students. Proof of this diversity is shown in my friends. All my friends come from different cultural backgrounds, and also different religion groups. If you look at the classes, it's easy to see how diversity takes hold of Anderson. I've really learned a lot about different cultures and religions just from talking to my friends and classmates. Honestly, it's crazy to see how these different morals blend in with the present society.
I'm currently in choir at Anderson, and it's absolutely HUGE. There are a lot of very exciting people in it, and it's really easy to make friends with all of them. The different clubs and societies at Anderson are like ginormous families that easily grow on you. A lot of the students start with maybe one or two clubs at first, and build up to more, which gives them a wide variety of friends and skills.
Well...theres my blog. :D

Illegal Immigration

Illegal immigration is one of the big problems that the United States faces every year.  Most illegal immigrants come from Mexico across the Rio Grande River, which leads into Texas, or across other borders from Mexico into the United States.  As a result,  southwest Texas is home to many of these immigrants, and overtime, has contributed to Texas' diverse community as a whole.  

In many ways, illegal immigration has changed immigration to the U. S. in general, such as how immigrants can get their green cards, which has caused a lot of problems for legal immigrants.  A lady that I know immigrated from Mexico a few years back, and she has now settled a home in Austin with a loving family and a good job.  She has filled out the required papers multiple times for a green card and has sent them in multiple times for the U.S. government to approve.  The United States government has gotten so caught up with stopping illegal immigrants that they forget about the legal ones.  This lady so far has not been able to get her papers approved by the government for a green card yet, which means that if she ever goes back to Mexico, she can't come back to the U.S.  Her dad is works for the Mexican government, and he too has tried his best to fix this whole mess. 

Overall, illegal or legal, once you get here as an immigrant, the U.S. government should allow you to stay and work to become a legal citizen.  It takes years to legalize an immigrant in the United States, but once your here, you should be welcomed and be able to stay.  If someone is so desperate for a new and better life that they'd break the law to get one, then why not? Good people deserve to live in a country that gives power to the people.  They've done nothing wrong by wanting a better life in a good country.  If their records clean then why not give them a better life?
