Karl Vick’s article “By Ordering Salvadorans Out, Trump Inverts An American Promise,” from Time discusses how the Trump Administration is snatching back the idea of the US softening the landing for millions of people who arrived without papers and over time became Americans.

Should the entire United States use the death penalty? Albert Einstein once said “The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people that don’t do anything about it.” This quote speaks true to the society many people live in today. Crimes will be committed everyday, and this will never end. Murders, robberies, auto theft, and kidnapping are all crimes and are committed numerous times everyday.

needs to stop. The debate is split right down the middle, with forty-six percent of Americans considering themselves pro-life (opposed to abortion), and forty-seven percent considering themselves pro-choice (supporting abortion) according to a Gallup poll in May 2014 (“Abortion ProCon.org”).
