more thoughts for my paper

This whole weekend, as I was doing research, I kept on going back to the idea that I should start promoting/advocating my topic of legality in real life. I really want to promote how great the Dream Act is and how I'd like everyone to petition for it. I will probably end up doing just that promoting the act, but maybe under a group's name. Also, tonight I have been pondering titles for my paper. So far I like this titles: Opportunity for all...SIKE, I'm Just an ILLEGAL because You Say So!, Is It Because I'm Brown? and lastly, Becoming Legal is like Winning the Lottery NEVER Going to Happen. It is so hard to choose one, but I'm leaning more to I'm Just an ILLEGAL because You Say So!

More plans (thoughts) for my research paper

Today in Mexican American studies I learned briefly about the Dream Act that was somewhat decided for March 26 of this year. I learned that helps , but I'm not completely sure, undocumented people become citizens. The people have to show they finished high school in the U.S and then 2 years of college, in which then they can apply for citizenship. Or the people after high school who don't go to college and want to be citizens have to go to the army for 2 years, then they are able to apply for citizenship. I think that is what the Dream Act will have the undocumented do in order to become citizens faster, but I'm not sure if I understood the act right in class. Obama still has to sign it too. Also, this afternoon, as I was looking at the newspaper: Spartan Daily, I came across an article titled I fought the law, and the law lost written by Angelo Lanham. This article spoke about the unnessary ticket VTA police issued him for not placing the new stickers on his license plates. Within the article, I thought it was so wierd how randomly Lanham spoke about how these unfair tickets are done/issued to single out Hispanics. I was left to wonder why he said this, and he continued saying how Latinos make up 70% of the disturbing peace charges in San Jose. That was all Lanham, had to say about the Latinos/Hispanics, it was all strange and kind of an out of place spot to mention them. It was interesting too, because it gave me a person who acknowledged how the Hispanos disrupt the peace of the city.

Statement of Purpose

I want to persuade both Cathy and Josh that my reason to write about illegal immigration has valid reason. I do not want to show that I support the illegality these people are doing but how these people did not emigrate that way with mal intentions. I am for legality and people following the laws. I want these people to be citizens of this country and live here without the worry of deportation. I am passionate about this issue of immigration, and am aware that illegal immigration has been increasing daily and causing a lot of unnecessary problems in the U.S. I want to promote how important being legal is in this country is. An immigrant coming to this country legally is possible. All it takes is people taking a moment out of their stressful, busy, daily lives to see the real reasons the illegals are coming in this country, and step in their shoes.

What I'm thinking to do for my paper

Well, to do further research my paper on illegal I've decided to do a couple of interviews. I plan to ask my aunt who is an immigration attorney some questions I plan to make and a friend I have who is has first hand experience with the issue. I'm getting excited about the potential layout for my paper. I hope my final product of my paper shows how into the topic I am. :D
