Judge Upholds Arizona Hiring Law

In this article about the Federal Law is talking about a interesting topic. There's was a guy name Neil Wake rejected the arguments of business and immigrants rights. Which the law was an unconstitutional of the federal government's right to regulate immigration. He also stated that employers called the punishment were the "death penalty". They contended it was too harsh and would push them to discriminate against Latinos. As well the employers and the immigration rights groups were going to be appeal to the 9th U.S Circuit Court Of Appeals. Indeed the law is the only thing that mandates the closure of businesses and that hire illegal immigrants. Meanwhile several states have contacted Arizona looking to duplicate it. Though there are hard numbers on how many immigrants have the left the state this year. Then some schools districts have been enrollment drop with many issues as well. After all Neil Wake states that "The act does not make employers conform to a stricter form of conduct than federal law. In addition, the under law, a company is placed on probation the first time it is found to have knowing hired undocumented workers. Then the second time happen but the license was revoked from them and ending to operate in Arizona. Arizona's Mexicans are complaining that the law is driving to many people back to their own country or across boarder.

Plans For New Chicago Children's Museum Draw Ire

In the L.A Times Article in my opinion, it's very interesting is talking about the new plan in Chicago. They are planing to build a museum to the kids. There's a women that would take her 4 and 7 year old sons almost every day to run, swing and ride their bicycle in a small playground at the north end of the park. Where the people from all over the world were surprise with the new plan and stroll among the nature trees and landscaped gardens. Then the neighbors say that the public park is no place for a private pay for entry museum and argue its open should be protected and the citing a declaration by the city commissioners in 1836 that the area should remain "forever open, clear and free." Those individuals that are building the museum have the authority to make the new plan for the museum for the kids. The constructions or anybody building the museum are following the policy they have to do in order to make the boss much better person, but they don't realize that there's alot of people that disagree with the new plan in Chicago and that would damage alot of things in Chicago. "It's a huge loss of the park space, "Figiel said recently as her sons played nearby." "The question is why give up protected park space? People come from all over the city to Grant Park and they play in this playground." Figiel thinks that she's doing the right thing not letting no one sovereignty for her own opinion. The city council says "This is not about the Children's Museum" he says."It's not about race and it's not about children." He wants to make sure that "Grant Park is here for better future generations of children from every corner of the city" In this conflict there's alot of democracy only for the new plan. The city council probably would be in favor with the government, it's seems that the government is always involve in conflicts like this with any city, state or towns. The government in which the power is vested in all the people, it's letting other people to decide for other and making wrong choices.

The 2nd Amendment


The 2nd Amendment is about the rights you could own a weapon for protection and even though there's individuals that they secide to get the rights to kill people, for example like The Viriginia Tech the guy just wanted the people gve him what he wanted just for himself so he did something cruel and selfish. In the state constitutions written around the time of the Declaration of Independence, the right to bear arms was presented in different ways. The Articles of Confederation specified that the states should maintain their militias, but did not mention a right to bear arms. Any such protections would have to come from state law. The Virginia Declaration of Rights, though it mentioned the militia, did not mention a right to bear arms — the right might be implied, since the state did not furnish weapons for militiamen. Concern with border defense again became an issue after September 11, 2001, when a series of terrorist attacks, both in the form of hijacked airliners crashing into buildings and anthrax-laced mail, made people realize that we do have enemies that wish to invade our nation, though not on the scale of an army. But while each state has its National Guard it can call up to guard the borders, the coordination needed is much more on a national scale, and special units of the regular army or border patrol are better suited for such duty than the Guard. As well many state constitutions had a right to bear arms for the purposes of the maintenance of the militia. Many had laws that required men of age to own a gun and supplies, including powder and bullets. The trick is finding that balance between freedom and reasonable regulation, between unreasonable unfettered ownership and unreasonable prior restraint. Gun ownership is indeed a right — but it is also a grand responsibility. With responsibility comes the interests of society to ensure that guns are used safely and are used by those with proper training and licensing. This Amendment is important to some people they could make positive and negative choice but it all depends on them.

A lot of individuals are fighting for that because they are worry about the children's health and as well there's a lot of air pollution around the freeways. The this lady name Yolie Flores Aguilar took on the issue after The Times reported that the district continued to build schools close to the freeways, and then the state law discouraging it and recent studies indicating that the children's are living near the freeways or going to school near the freeways and it shows signs of increased of harmless. Indeed about 60,000 Los Angeles Unified School District students campuses within 500 feet of a freeway. After that lady produce a month to produce a list of all those schools that where children's are at the highest risk of air pollution and then she trying to to come up with a plan reduce that issue. The the officials states that the district expects to lose $460 million next year. As well the District officials states that it will cost practically nothing to extend the distance of the air pollution.

She basically worry about the students health care and how would the air pollution would cause asthma to anyone near the bad pollution.
