American Ignorance"Dr. Pease, a conservative and

instructor at Taft College has looked at a recent

study of 1000 adults made by Newsweek and worries

about the political and historical ignorance of

many Americans.”

29% of Americans who couldn’t name the current

Vice President

Nearly 25% were unaware of Martin Luther King’s accomplishments.

Arizona State Immigration Law (SB1070)

Purpose:The provisions of this

act are intended to work together to

discourage and deter the unlawful entry and presence of

aliens and economic activity by persons

unlawfully present in the United States.

There is more than meets the eye

A survey I conducted within Carl Wunsche, Sr. High School among 50

people.

“Where reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien who is unlawfully

present in the united states, a reasonable attempt shall be made, when practicable, to determine the immigration status of the

person.” (SB1070)

Question: “If you found yourself in the position of a

law enforcement official which one of these men would you more likely to

question their legal status if they've given you reasonable suspicion to believe

otherwise?

Benefits

The Joaquin Luna Jr. Act:

Benefit the U.S. Armed Forces.

 

Stimulate the American economy. 

Includes important restrictions to prevent

abuse. 

Chicago Passes the DREAM Act

The Illinois Dream Act will establish a

private fund, administered by a

volunteer state commission, to

make scholarships available to about 95,000 children of

undocumented immigrants who graduate from

Illinois high schools.

How much will it cost?

It will NOT cost the Illinois taxpayers a dime to invest in these

kids, many of whom have demonstrated

that they are talented enough to be

accepted into elite colleges and universities.

Why help them?

Why help them?

Why not help them? Enacting the Joaquin Luna Jr.

Act satisfies the needs of the registrant, and the concerns of the state immigration law of Arizona/future states that

are going to implement a similar law like SB1070.

This act gives children that do not have the option of

better life in their birthplace to gain one.

At NO COST!
