Miranda+Stancato

I agree with what he thinks on the issue of immigration. I don’t think that illegal immigrants should be able to have the same rights as citizens unless they are part of the United States. That is not fair to the other illegal immigrants that went through everything to become a legal immigrant. I also agree on some of his other issues like criminal justice and the courts, transportation, and agriculture. Immigration I chose Obama because I agree with his view point on America’s issues. I learned this from a chart we did in class of the 2012 presidential candidate positions on 45 issues. I mostly agreed with Obama on the issues. I favor him more than the other candidates because he has the same perspective on issues. Not all pros, cons, and neutral but a mixture of all three. For example the three issues of immigration, abortion and taxes.

 * SB46: Live or Die,On Death Row:** This bill is to stop the overcrowding of prisons, high taxes, and to keep safe streets. The death penalty helps all of these problems. Also this bill is shortening to time limit on death row. Criminals these days are on death row for 15 years maybe more or less but mostly around that range. The time limit is being shortened to 2 years. This way people wont be on death row for as long and the overcrowding will stop. This bill should be chosen because it helps keep the world safe from people that can put others in danger. This is only for serious crimes such as murder.

There are things I agree with on immigration and some things that I disagree with. I disagree that illegal immigrants should have access to social services such as Medicaid, welfare, and public education. They shouldn’t have access because they are not part of the U.S and shouldn’t have the same rights as citizens. I agree with the statement that says that there should be a physical barrier along the U.S Mexico border. If there is not one then the U.S will have even more illegal immigrants coming over to the United States. I think that the parents of a pregnant minor should have a say in if the child should have an abortion or not. It wouldn’t be up to the parents to make the decision for their child but to help them make the choice for what is best for the kid’s life. I am undecided about the situation where abortion remains as a legal option in America. There are ups and downs to this situation. Sometimes it’s a good thing and others it is a bad thing. I think a good outcome of this is that the parents don’t have to go through taking care of a child that they are not ready for or didn’t even want in the first place if that. A bad outcome of this is that if could possibly hurt the family that has to make this decision. There are advantages and disadvantages to taxes. My view point on them is mostly positive and I agree with most of the statements. However I also agree that there are some bad things about taxes for our economy and country. I think that the wealthiest 1% of Americans should be taxed more heavily because they have so much more money than others and those paying taxes can help other citizens. Also it won’t hurt them that much. I don’t think that federal taxes should be increases because we already have paid enough. Also this is taking out of all the money we have earned.
