   How would you feel if you were an undocumented immigrant in the United States? I would assume not good. So why do people still do it? If you go and ask immigrants why they came you'll hear mostly one answer. For a better future for their family and so their kids don't have to go through what they did. Is it a crime to want the best for your family? Or to want the American Dream? In today's world it is in the U.S.
   I am Hispanic, and both my parents are Mexican. They came here so i could have a better future for me and my kids. Now the government want to spend 800 million dollars alone in making the boarder impossible for immigrants to cross. This shouldn't even be a problem because people come from all over the world. I've heard that Mexicans just come and steal jobs, but if they were actually good at what they do they would still have a job. It shouldn't matter where you're from. The only thing that should matter is the purpose in which you came for.
   The U.S. makes it difficult for immigrants to even contribute to the country. It is necessary to have ID card to vote and they know Mexicans, or wherever the person is won't have one. They cannot work without having a social security, and for them to get one it is not cheap. I don't agree with what the government is doing. We all deserve an equal chance to live free and happy.

    Erik Erickson, author of a blog titled, This is About Stupid Parents, Not Guns, argues that guns aren't the ones responsible when it comes to children finding their parents guns and hurting themselves or others. They're has been at last 43 instances this year where someone was shot by a toddler, and 31 out those 43, a toddler found a gun and shot himself or herself. The media is trying to intentionally talk about these stories to change the peoples minds about guns, when in reality it's just the parents being stupid.
    It is a horrible thing that happens. Erik also sates in his blog that it is preventable. He keeps his loaded guns in a place the children can not access. And those that are not loaded have bullets in one location, clips in another, and guns in another. I agree with Erik because it is common sense to hide loaded guns away from children. The only thing there is to blame are the parents.
   These cases are referred to as "accidents" in the media, but more than two-thirds of these tragedies could be avoided if gun owners stored their guns responsibly and prevented children from accessing them. The piece concludes by blaming the NRA, which actually teaches gun safety and teaches parents how to responsibly own guns. That, of course, is ignored by the left and the media. They instead need someone to blame. Many responsible gun owners are going to be affected by this because stupid people simply don't know how to handle guns.
