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.
