USA PATRIOT Act

Although there are pronounced differences between the actions taken after Pearl harbor and 9/11, the similarities are superficial especially with the Patriot Act issued October 6, 2001 and the Executive Order 9066 issued February 19, 1942. The Japanese declared war on America with their attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1942. 366 Japanese air crafts destroyed 188 U.S. planes and killed 2,330 Americans; compared to the 29 aircrafts and 5 submarines that were destroyed; 64 killed…

Immediately after the September 11, 2001 attacks, President George Bush was able to push one of the most controversial acts through Congress. This act is called the U.S.A.

Agencies such as the Secret Service, Air Marshals, and Border Patrol exist to help prevent terrorism. Another agency where anti- terrorism acts have been exemplary is the Immigration and Customs Enforcement. There was an instance in an airport in Miami where the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained a suspected foreign money launderer named Libardo Florez-Gomez. He laundered…

Posting on Facebook, everyone expects only their friends to see what they have written. Surprise, they are not the only people seeing that post. That text that was sent to your boyfriend about how much you love him? He wasn’t the only one who saw it. The call from you to Goal Post Pizza?

The Patriot Act is a necessity in the war on terror, it should not be used a tool to persecute average American…

bill called The Patriot Act was passed to help fight terrorism. Since then problems have arrived with the passing of this bill, problems that lead to questioning the legitimacy of The Patriot Act. If The Patriot Act was justified, then Edward Snowden would not have had to do what he did. The United States needs supervision while enforcing The Patriot Act to make sure the right of every citizen is protected and that they do not overstep their boundaries. The Patriot Act is an act that was created…

and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism, also known as the USA PATRIOT ACT, how it protects the American people and allows law enforcement to protect us, as well as the event which led to the bill being passed and the impact and controversy it has on the American people.
