Today in class, we talked about the Naval Yard Shooting and how the shooter thought the US government was out to get him and trying to make him go crazy. We finished the discussion on immigration, talking about how Obama intends to build a better border fence, increase the amount of guards, introduce harder punishments on crimes as illegal immigrants. We talked about how we should enforce the rules of employment better and have verification of residential status for business employees. We talked about Earned Citizenship and the requirements for it, which are paying penalties and fees for illegal entrance, a background check, a security check, learn English, pass citizenship tests, or be a part of the DREAM Initiative, which involves being a minor on entrance and requires college and or military service. We talked about the ideas for streamlining the citizenship process. Then we discussed the republican views on immigration and moved on to discussing and reviewing for the test tomorrow.
