Are Illegal Aliens accepted in the United States as necessary or are they a menace leaching American resources? What Do Illegal Aliens provide for America? What happens when they break the law? How are they punished? These are just some topics that need discussion in today's America. In a highly Hispanic community you would be surprised how many illegal aliens there are. When An Illegal Alien is arrested for a crime they go to jail, just like a U.S. citizen, and taxpayers pay to keep them there. Illegal aliens steal jobs from U.S citizens, and are not required to pay taxes. They take all and give nothing back to the United States. Will We stand for this? Will we take this lying down?

America is a melting pot. Individuals from every corner of the world come and dream of freedom. As our country is changing, are we embracing that freedom or fearing change? In our differences there is strength, but will we view this as an obstacle or an opportunity?

Thousands of children in America are abused, abandoned, and unloved. Children aren't mistakes that you can treat without care and leave alone in the world, although there are parents everywhere who believe this is perfectly fine. Children get dropped off and never picked up, sexually, mentally, and physically abused, and left to die, become trouble makers, or pick up the pieces all on their own more often than most people care to believe. Children put in these situations need someone who cares, need a place they can feel cared for and loved, and a place where they are safe from problems that they should never have to face as they will only receive a broken heart.

There has recently been a condom created for woman in areas of high crime called the anti-rape condom. The condom is helped to prevent rape as well as catch the preditors. It was primarily made for woman in Africa because the amount of woman who have been raped there is severely high. The problem with this solution is that the majority of woman who need this product cannot afford it. We live in a country where woman's rights are extremely important and we should be helping supply these woman with the product in order to protect their basic rights as well.

Corporate America has forgotten about the integrity to the people for monetary benefits. For big corporations, the more lies and deceit, the more profit for the companies. Pollution in the environment is regulated and monitored by the government, but who regulates and/or monitors them? Depending on the US and other countries, there may be more or less regulations and regulators for waste corporations to abide by.Adult and Childhood obesity has become an increasing issue in American culture. One doesn’t have to read about it, just being aware of your surrounds and watching people will tell you. It has trickled down from corporate America and its called greed.

There's no space in today's society for American's with good intentions. I went to court today for a stop sign violation and explained to the Judge that because of the recent blizzard, i yielded but not completely stoped at the stop sign not wanting to be stuck. She herself admited what i was doing was "probably the safer thing to do" and yet she's required me to pay the fine as scheduled. Today's laws do not have any room for American's with good intentions or "fault-free" and no bad repercussions due to his/her actions.

Immigrants (mainly Mexican immigrants) who have entered our country usually are in need of desperate help and come to the United States to turn their lives around. However, there is a vast majority of these immigrants that only express a sense of laziness, entitlement to receive benefits for doing very little or nothing, and excessiveness for expressing their native culture; yet, they feel they can ignore the American law, culture, and way of life. Some even feel that they can bring their criminal ways of life from their native countries with them to the United States.
