At the beginning of class we went over about how we will go about assigned blogs for the rest of the year. Next we moved to the map part of the day. After we went through that a couple times we moved on to the current events. One of the ones we talked about was Al Qaeda. Ayman al- Zawshiri the new leader of Al Qaeda who made a video and said how he will keep trying to figure out ways to attack America. Zawshiri also spoke about how he will be patient and wait for the perfect time to attack. Next we talked about what type of people Al Qaeda tries to recruit. Are class came up that these people were more poor and people who dislike the United States. Following that we moved on to our presentations. We started with the immigration group.
Immigration In American
- Immigration is the action of moving or coming to another country to live permanently
- People come here for a better life
- Immigration affects us because of how many homes we have for sale, job security, and people taking up to many jobs
- During the year 1882 the first immigration act was passed and act said that there was a $0.50 headcount fund on newcomers
- The Dream Act said that no one could enter the United States
- The Dream Act also said that you have to have graduated from an American high school, and have obtained a GED
- So pretty much the Dream Act says that kids of illegal immigrants can live in the United States if they attend a high school and achieve a GED
- What you need to know to become a U.S. citizen is you have to have the ability to speak, read, and write English, rights and responsibilities as a citizen, in other words you have to pass a test
- Immigrants become official citizens by filing out an application, take the naturalization test, or living as a legal citizen for at least 3 years
- From 2009 to 2012 more than 70 percent of the immigrants that come to America are from Asia, and North America.
