Informative - Illegal immigration

Illegal Immigration is the act of living in a country without government permission. In most U.S. contexts, illegal immigration refers to the presence of 12 million undocumented Mexican-American immigrants in the United States. Lack of documentation is what makes illegal immigration illegal; Mexican workers, recruited by U.S. businesses since the 1830s, have historically been allowed by the government to cross the border to work initially on railroads, later on farms without interference. They mainly come from Mexico going into the U.S.  http://civilliberty.about.com/od/immigrantsrights/f/what_is_illegal.htm         

The impact is that they come from Mexico and take jobs of millions of American workers and they wonder why people can't get jobs. They took over and work for less so businesses think they're saving money till they get shut down cause they have too many illegal immigrants. And the cost of illegal immigration is nothing cause they just slip past the boarder and save some business some money cause they work for less.   http://www.fairus.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=23663&security=1601&news_iv_ctrl=1007


I think its a problem because in the future I don't know if I'll have a job or not. Right now it's hard to find a job because you got all them foreign workers and most of them are here illegally. We aren't doing anything about it except trying to keep the ones that slip past the boarder in Mexico. But for the ones that are already here they will get to stay here. But most officials look the other way when they find out one of their most important corporations has hired illegal immigrants and they do nothing about it. And I think that they should go back to where they come from.

And my conclusion is I don't like illegal immigration. It's not our fault they don't have work where they come from. They should just stay there and suffer cause that's what they are doing to us. They come up here and take our jobs and we don't make money and go homeless and possibly starve.

persuasive

 Chevy vs Ford.
         For this assignment I'm going to talk about the reasons why I think Chevy's are better than Ford's. For me I like Chevy's cause I think their stylish and luxurious but on the other hand my dad has a '08 ford and it is pretty comfy but that doesn't mean I like it cause one- its too new, too computerized, I like '98 and down. Chevy has better towing and its proved in the link below. Chevy has challenged ford multiple times and they declined because they knew that their truck was gonna get out towed.

And to prove my point you can take a look at this link and tell me if I'm right or wrong that Chevy can out tow Ford.
http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2010/11/chevy-vs-ford-in-heavy-duty-rumble-in-the-rockies.html

Those charts show the speed against time and speed against distance in the Rockies. And it shows that Chevy out pulled the Ford by a long shot. You would just need to read to believe if your a ford fan. cause the way i understand this link is that Chevy has won a lot of times.

 

I have found another link telling the world that Chevy went and bought a couple of Fords trucks cause Ford didn't want to take the challenge and they went and hired Harry Rawlins. He was fords tow trailer engineer and so he new about fords towing and chevys, and he holds a CDL (commercial drivers license) so he was legally able to drive those trucks.  The link also says that the super-duty had to hit the brake pedal 14 time cause the exhaust brakes weren't keeping up and the Chevy had to hit it only once cause its exhaust brakes were keeping up and both trucks had 4 people in  there when they were going down hill. And this is the link that says it all. http://www.datehookup.com/Thread-607334.htm     

So this is why I'm a chevy guy cause this here just proves that its better than ford so I rest my case.
