DACA and its effects

After reading Why DACA Should Not Be Removed, I would like to say that I enjoyed and got a really good insight into this nationwide issue. I was able to read and educate myself on the process of the renewal process. I was not aware of the cost or the actual lengthy steps a DACA recipient has to go through in order to renew their permit. 

I was always a supporter due to my older sister being a DACA recipient. I believe more should be done to help the dreamers and their families. These are young people who have the dream to go to college and live in the United States. It was nice reading about how this permit allows people to better themselves, especially by hearing the first-hand experience of Alejandra. In this blog I was able to realize the importance it has on society and the impact dreamers have on the United States as a whole. 

Too many people may be overseeing this issue and have not come to the realization as I did. As Alejandra said, these are people who have not committed serious crimes and that shows that they are responsible residents. These kids who were brought to the United States did not have a choice in where they lived. They are here to positively contribute to society and make our future a better one.

Gerrymandering In Austin

Living in Austin I have seen this city grow into what it is now. I have experienced gerrymandering through my friends and the stories of other Austinites as well. Gerrymandering is when US policies manipulate the division of districts, cities, states, etc., this is something that directly affects those that are forced to move from their homes due to several factors. Some of these factors include raising property taxes, "cracking" or "packing". This has become a national issue because it affects millions of residents all over the country, In Austin, there have been so many cases in which Gerrymandering forced people to lose their homes. In most cases, this results from companies wanting to construct their business location close to Austin and therefore try to push the residents to the outsides of Austin. If you simply take a drive downtown, you will see modern and luxurious buildings being built where a home used to be. I remember that East Austin was full of homes

Texas Texas Stage Five

After reading the article by Texas Texas  over Warren's educational plan, I was able to learn a lot. I agree with Bertha on several points she sated. Throughout the article, I was able to learn about how Warren's plan was dedicated to helping impoverished kids, help racial integration into schools, and strict limits on fundings for charter schools. It was interesting to read this because I went to a charter school from 5th grade all the way through high school. Although I did not read much about charter school funding I found it interesting. I believe her statements about how children should not be separated from the rest of the kids due to them not being able to understand a particular material, to be true and socially right. I was able to relate to the feeling of being glad to be let our early during test weeks. I remember being glad I did not receive homework due to test week and that we should "study" instead when we had been studying for the exams all semester
