The greatest problem facing the United States today is the threat of terrorism. As
members of Congress, we must do everything possible to ensure the safety of the
citizens we represent. That is why I strongly urge my fellow senators to support
this new antiterrorism bill. It will increase funding for vital security programs and
allow law enforcement to more easily access the phone and Internet records of
suspected terrorists. The bill will also make it more difficult for immigrants to enter
this country if they're from areas with significant terrorist activity. This will help us
stop terrorists before they have the chance to attack. Some organizations claiming
to support civil liberties and immigrants' rights have criticized me for sponsoring
this bill, but nobody should listen to anything they say. They apparently support
terrorists having free access to our country! If you side with Americans and not
terrorists, you will vote for my bill.

credit reports are not an instrument of negotiating interest. they only show your track record when it comes to borrowing money.

informed opinion on immigration policy and immigration reforms from the american pubic is not complicated but a nuance. most americans support secure borders and they are not happy that the national’s immigration system is broken. people think that immigrants that shoulder similar responsibilities like native americans should be able to become americans. in the recent polls, stats have shown that there is a good support for tenets of comprehensive immigration reform. for example, in recent polls concerning opinions on immigration reforms, voters want congress to act even if status quo has no support. immigration opponents suggest that latino and non-latino voters disagree and there is controversy in the issue of citizenship.the truth is that the issue is about its leadership and problem-solving aspect and not about immigration reform.the opponents of immigration reforms advocate for the promotion of two myths where the first one is that republican politicians have a choose on latino votes and the second one is that the path to citizenship for unrecorded immigrant is controversial among all this !
