Blog Stage 8: Comment on a colleague's work

I write this blog as a response to "Build Bridges Not Walls" by Victor Venegas the blog is very easy to understand with enough amount of research to back up the statement. Trump's promises about the border wall have brought a lot of criticism from American citizens. I agree with Venegas's idea about the fact that building a wall means segregation. The promises he makes will cause a bad relationship between America and Mexico, which affects the import from Mexico into the US. I also learn a new fact from Venegas that the wall also impacts the environment, how the wall will bisect the geographic range in the future and that is another reason to stop build this wall.

When is Human Right?

Based on Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: “Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution. This right may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes or from acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.” But Trump recently just pass an Executive Order violates the article that makes people crisis. Executive Order 13769 name "Protect the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry" been passed on 1 February 2017 also know as the Trump Travel ban, which created an initial ban for 120 days and reinstated temporary travel restrictions on six of the original seven prohibited countries including Syria, according to the Wikipedia. The executive order has been effected on January 27, 2017, even though the Syria Civil War, The war has killed more than 500,000 Syrian’s still ongoing, and a lot of refugees need help. While in the United States Trump Travel Ban passed, other countries still try their best to solve the Refugee Crisis by accepting more refugees. Trump reason for the fact why he passes this policy also can not accept, he says that "Protect American people from terrorist attacks by foreign nationals" and give example is the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, that murdered 3,000 American people and was caused by foreigners and refugees, including Muslim people. Is it reason was good enough for the United States to have the right to stop "people to seek and enjoy other countries asylum from persecution." Is it fair for the Syrian refugees and other countries? Is it the best thing to do is to avoid the problem rather than solve it?

Blog Stage Six: Comment on a Colleague's work

I really enjoy reading "The Dreamers" Blog by Victor Venegas, because the blog provides many pieces of information that I don't know. I always think the Trump campaign has many bad ones but I never know about he wants to end DATA. I love it when the blogger starts with the trump popular campaign promises, the wall, that bring a lot of crisis, she also mentions that some people support it. It stables her blog and helps the blog go smoothly into Venegas's main point. I  also think Venenga's very detail when she explains what is DATA that help any reader, especially me, who doesn't know about the program understand more why she makes it argue for. I agree with her argument about why we should not end DATA because it not only effects the DACA recipients but also the new DACA recipients that need the program the most, she also uses her personal story and experience as a DACA recipient make the argument even stronger. Venegas Blog is very well writing, and I think that it will make any person, who reads the blog, doesn't understand much about the topic agree with her statement.

We all know that the next U.S presidential election is coming up soon on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. Trump will once again be running for president, he starts the campaign early than other incumbent presidents, but Trump administration has done nothing or mentions anything about one of the big issues that we have right now is Climate change.

The economy, immigration, taxes, health care, gun violence, foreign policy, abortion, and climate change are the most important issue in the United States but climate change is an issue that everyone disagrees the most, sixty-two percent of Americans disagreed based on the wedsite Yale Climate Connection, with how Trump administration actions to deal with the issue. The Trump administration has started the campaign in 2016 rollback on Obama-era Climate Rule EPA into the clear power plan, but the plan easing restrictions on coal-burning power plants and ever increase in pollution instead of curbing it. that make 29 states sued to block the EPA. On June 1, 2017. Trump announced that he withdraws from the Paris Climate Agreement, "Instead of projecting strength, this action weakens America on the world stage and cedes leadership on climate change and other challenges of our time to countries like Russia and China," based on Neera Tanden, president and chief executive of the Center for American Progress, Trump actions not only affect the climate but also weakens America on the world stage. 

After the news about the wildfires in Califonia had burned more than 1,000,000 acres and still expanding. We need to notice how big is the climate change problem right now, people need to have actions and do something right now. If Trump still not address these issues then we have to step in to find someone, who willing to do it, but based on all the news I have read, a high percent that Trump maybe win the 2020 election, and is that what we want?

I want to make a blog critique a post title is "Kira Davis: Hell Yes, We Need That Border Wall" by Kira Davis from the RedState. I want to talk about this article because I have the agreement and also disagreement with Kira Davis's opinion. I agree about what people in America worried the most now a day is an illegal immigrant, drugs. So I think that he needed to address more about the facts about how illegal immigrants affect us, the U.S citizens.
In his first paragraph, he talks about the massive gunfight happen in the Pacific coastal state of Sinaloa and provided some video footage for the battle. I like that he used some source to support the statement, but I think that the statement is not very accurate and related to the border wall. since the battle happened in Mexico, and it didn't affect any part of the U.S, it also happens to be far from the border, so I think if he wants to be more clear with the statement, he needs to address more about the events happen that affect both America and Mexico, happen right on the border.
In his second paragraph, he starts the paragraph with "Mexicans are not “straight, white males” and for that reason and none other we are having this insane argument about whether or not America has the right to protect her borders. In reality, race/ethnicity is completely irrelevant to this conversation." To me, these two sentences are not very needed in the articles, because they cause be bewilderment. Used the words "straight, and white males" then states that Race is not irrelevant to the conversation, sound very weird, so I hope he put this sentence out of the paragraph so it does not lead to the misunderstanding. 
Back to the border wall topic, I agree with him about the border wall can be a good solution for America to feel safe from immigrants, and the bad thing comes from the South, but the wall to didn't finish Trump promised since 2016 and we have spent a large amount of money in it. The total amount has been estimated by the official and unofficial bodies ranging from $12bn to $70bn, and all that money will come from us.

On September 5, 2019, ThinkProgress published an article titled "To build Trump's Border Wall, Pentagon will divert funds from military school and daycares" by Alan Pyke.
In this article, Alan Pyke talks about how Trump claims that he "a most pro-military president ever" but he drains funds out of school and daycares that serves military families. Trump uses the fund for military families to build the border wall between Mexico and the U.S, , that he promised. the author also uses a lot of information about how drains funds from schools and daycares have effected a lot of projects to delayed, and how much Pentagon's have spent on the border wall.  The author also mentions how not only projects related to military schools and daycares but also a lot of other projects for road, new versions of pedestrian and vehicle barriers also been delayed. He also provides facts that some few of the borders have been build between the U.S and Mexico have let some scar on the border communities, so what if we finish the border what will happen, what problems will we have if we complete the border. The author is included other people, who are effects by the border wall, opinion about the issues have both positive about how the border may help to crake down drug traffickers, to negative like how it affects people's life. I agree with the author of how we need some attention to there issues and Trump have done are wrong not only how Trump uses the funds, also the ideas of the border wall, it is worthy for us to put three billion dollars into this project or not? The author also provides a lot of information to prove his argument, use facts, information, and the response of the people to make a stronger statement.

On September 19, 2019, BBC News published an article titled Los Angeles: Why tens of thousands of people sleep rough. By Daniel Flaming and Gary Blasi.
Los Angeles always know as one of the famous cities of the United States, but the city also has nearly 60,000 homeless people, President Trump also mentioned, that the growth of homeless people will destroy the glamorous of the city. So what was the reason that causes these issues? Because of jobs that pay little with a high-cost house, Los Angeles population has grown a lot since the past 30 years but then are too little number of new houses has been built, therefore, people can not afford for the rental fees. Voters in Los Angeles have approved to build 10,000 housing units for homeless, but until now there only enough for 7,000. Not only Los Angeles, but also New York City and other cities also increasing the population of homeless people. the percent of homeless have been a big issue but there are not many solutions that can help solve the problem, so I hope that people can view the problem more serious and take more actions about it.
