The man who has injustice done him in the name of the law is generally a poor man, that is the real reason he has been squeezed. He had no money, and could not hold out. Many consider Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, and Spencer Stone heroes, but to others they are vigilantes. Without investigation, or even hearing the other rise of the story, people rushed to call these young men heroes. However, people are drafted to war every day, and have to face bombs getting thrown at their head, they constantly get shot at, and even go without food, water, or contact with their families. And because of their service, some of their children are born with birth defects, and these people who fought for your freedom get no consideration, no awards shows, nor do they get to meet the President, and some people find out their children have birth defects and tease them restlessly. Yet, it is just part of life. Others lost their parents early from saving in the war and go without things they require and there is no help for them. And police and firefighters and other emergency service workers often face dangerous conditions, lose their lives and save lives, but still, they go unrecognized.

A Muslim teen, Ahmed Mohamed, was arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school, which looked to a teacher, as a bomb. The teacher was scared and called the police, and the student was arrested for bring a hoax bomb to school. When the young man, Ahmed Mohamed, was questioned about what the device was, he replied, “A clock,” with no further explanation. To some, the young man seemed defiant. And many think he and his family are manipulating the media. They are taking advantage of the race card to get sympathy and play the victim role to get sympathy from the public. What I find interesting about this case is it was overdone. The boy wore a NASA shirt to school, there was no science fare going on, he seemed reluctant to explain what the suspicious device was, and when he got arrested, he looked upset. I know if I got arrested for my science experiment, I would be sad, or crying, especially as a young boy. Also, with all the school massacres and violence, the teacher was right to call the police, the device does look scary.

On the issues of unlawful immigrants, I do not support immigrant reform. I think we need to build the Great Wall of America. These people are breaking the laws to come to the country, committing crimes, and are putting a lot of wear and tear on the system. Not only that, but America is $18.5 trillion in debt, we cannot afford to take care of more people at this time. As you know, 76 percent of immigrants with children collect welfare, and 50 percent without children receive some kind of government benefits. Furthermore, we cannot even enforce laws that have been on the books for decades, and so we should not take on more responsibilities than we can handle. Also, if you become an illegal immigrant in Mexico, you would likely end up dead, and most certainly would be arrested. The arm of the law reaches far, and through its movements are sometimes slow, they are not the less certain.
