Mackenzie WolfDavid BrennerEnglish 1302 - Summer 16/28/14Immigration To A Whole New LevelIn our world today, immigration is not necessarily a horrible thing, but breaking the law is. Many different socialists, economists, and political leaders say that The United States economy can depend on illegal immigrants. Not only do they accept low income for necessary jobs such as construction workers, but they also pay their taxes, and spend money which all plays a part in our national economy. On the other hand, other economists say the opposite in terms of illegal immigrants do not help The United States economy whatsoever.

Personally, I agree with this global issue that needs to be taken more seriously. I do not agree with illegal immigration whatsoever, but legal migration into the United States needs to be managed in a better way. Our nation has also struggled with discrimination for many decades and still is a major concern for immigrants. Annan's article does have some valid evidence from other primary sources to back up his argument. He discusses that not only does our country need to have more respect for immigrants who flea their home country to ours for various reasons, but to be proud that our country is so diverse in many different ethnicities.

Not only is it failing, but is creating more anxiety for the safety of our citizens. Carlsen seeks to promote the idea that the war on drugs in unwinnable and not ideal to surrender to the country of Mexico. In my opinion, I believe that drugs across the world will also be an issue to fight for. This national issue seems to be failing in the words of Carlsen, so why not fix it? It is enormously important for our nation to know that the drug war between the two countries may turn out worse than it actually is. The author provides credible evidence through the use of statistics and examples such as the Obama administration to promote her argument on this issue. Her accuracy is effective to an extent when providing such evidence. There is a lot of detail provided in Carlson's article that isn't too vague for the audience to fully understand. If the d...
