People's Point Of View
Immigration Conservative

With the new president, a lot of immigrants families are terrified. Some people are saying that their families will be separated once more.

So I asked some random people about what they think about the new president. Is he really going to separate families, is he going to make America great by deporting thousands of immigrants? President-elect Trump says that by building the wall he will Make America Great Again.

I asked myself, Isn’t America Great? The U.S. is the riches country in the world, and it’s a very powerful country. America has great leaders that are working to keep America great. President Obama didn’t stop the deportation, but he also didn’t stop helping people that are undocumented, that are looking for opportunity. Hundreds of immigrants come to U.S. looking for a new life, for a new life for their children, after all, America is built by immigrants. Since the beginning, immigrants moved and started a new life in this country, which back then wasn’t a country. But in time it became a nation.

Now let’s go back about what people said to me when I asked them about Trump’s plan.

I asked some people, Why do you think undocumented people come to the U.S.?
Some people said, “To find a better job and living opportunities. Fulfil their education. Find freedom," and, "Some immigrants come to the U.S. because of war in their country or unfair leaders."

I also asked, Do you think by deporting people will make America great?
Some people said yesand some said no.
Those who said “no” gave me their opinion/point of view. Deporting people won’t solve the problem or make America great like Trump says, it will just settle things down. Deporting people will also affect the U.S. because a lot of undocumented people work on the farm and in companies.
Those who said “yes” also gave me their opinion/point of view. By deporting undocumented people it will make America great because a lot of undocumented people are doing drugs or transporting drugs into this country.

Statistically, not just immigrant or undocumented immigrants do drugs. Anybody can do drugs. In 2015 psychology did a survey that there are nearly 20% of whites have used cocaine. And there are 10% of blacks and Latinos have used cocaine.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
