More or Less H1-B Visas

Our country does not have enough technology workers to meet demand, high tech companies lobby congress every year to increase the number of H1-B Visas availible. So, we let technology workers from other countries in on an H1 Visas; they come and stay as long as they can keep their jobs (up to six years). Most electronics are not made in the US; in fact, all of my electronics are made in China. I think we should have more H1 Visas because either they do the work here or in China.

Illegal Poison Ivy Remover

Illegal Poison Ivy Remover
I am only 12, so a haven’t seen very many illegal immigrants, but there was one time in particular, when I did see some. It was the day my dad had a landscaping company remove the poison ivy in my back yard. First, my dad called a company to send out some workers to clean our yard. Then, he called again and at least a third time too. When the company finally did come, these workers were most likely illegal immigrants because the landscape owner said his workers from Mexico were the only ones who didn’t get poison ivy. I guess that was because they were apparently not allergic to poison ivy; they didn’t even wear gloves. Although these workers didn’t get poison ivy, their supervisor was very afraid to get it. That’s why my dad had a hard time getting the company to come work in my backyard. In this case of poison ivy removal, illegal immigrants got the job done better than any American could have. You have to appreciate that even though all illegal immigrants are technically committing a crime, some just come to America in search of a better life or a better job. Didn’t our founding fathers’ ancestors do that? Didn’t the pioneers of the West do that? Didn’t the colonists of Mars do that? Well, that last one hasn’t happened yet. Finally, the constitution does say that you have the right to the “pursuit of happiness.” So, some of the working illegal immigrants should be able to stay.

Illegal Immigration

Our county is currently having a big problem with illegal immigration. We have a lot of illegal immigrants which cost the taxpayers’ lots of money in schools, hospitals, lost federal taxes revenue, and money sent back to Mexico or wherever and not spent in the USA. One good thing about illegal immigrants is they work for much less than the average American. This is good because the legal American businesses that hire them get a good deal. But, that’s only good when there are lots of jobs for everyone who wants to work. Illegal immigrants are technically criminals. They usually don’t have the key skills needed to get a legal work visa; this is why they came illegally. Also, smuggling people is not that different for smuggling drugs so illegal immigration goes hand in hand with illegal drugs smuggling into America. Now you can clearly see why illegal immigration is such a big problem in America.

Pay to Pay

You use money when you buy things at the supermarket or just about anywhere you buy things; and you pay tax on top of the purchase price too. In other words, so to pay for anything, you also need to pay a tax in addition to the cost of the item. We are so familiar with this pay and pay again model, because we do it all the time. While this is completely reasonable for a revenue generation point-of-view, I doubt it is fair. Why don’t I think it fair? It’s too much like when credit card companies charge interest on interest. And I don’t think the founding fathers liked double of anything: double jeopardy, double fines, double taxation, or double interest payments. I am just using buying stuff at the supermarket as an example.
But in any case, I don’t think it is reasonable for you pay and pay again for the same thing.

I prefer to buy my stuff on the internet, and then pay a little to insure it. This is a bit of a double payment too but it is your choice.

Age limits for sports

Age limits for sports vary depending on the sport:
NBA basketball is 19
Major league baseball 16
NFL is 18
Tennis has no age limit

Limits are good for very physical contact sports like football. I think tennis and some other sports should have a limit too because you need a certain amount of maturity to be a professional athlete. Additionally, professional franchises would be depending upon the guardians of underage professional athletes for the fulfillment of their contracts which could add more problems than there worth. Even though there aren’t very high limits or no limit on baseball or tennis there aren’t many 16 year olds in major league baseball, and very rarely in tennis (with questionable results if you think of Jennifer Capriati).

Should there be limits on legal transactions, fines, penalties?

I think there should be limits, but it is okay to have ranges. For example, if the average person gets a car ticket, let’s say its $50. A person’s record should be a consideration. Also, the ability to pay (or not pay) should be a consideration because if it was to low the person might not take it seriously and if it’s too high they might not be able to afford it. If Bill Gates gets a car ticket you can’t charge him one-thousand dollars, but you could charge him $75. I admit this is a slippery slope, because I don’t think you should be punished for being successful, but I you could pay slightly more.

What I Would If I Was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?

First, I would change those scary black robes to white.
Next, I would make lawyers wear these awesome white robes too,
Finally, I would make a mandatory height for Supreme Court judges’ clerks, so we’d always win basketball games against White House interns.

Kids vs. Adults Who Has More Rights

Well probably adults: (1) they can drink, (2) gamble, (3) smoke, and (4) do a lot of other things (e.g. drive, vote, etc.). Although kids can’t they aren’t missing out on much let’s see, drinking once in a while could be nice although most kids would agree it tastes horrible and would much rather have soda. Gambling is a bad habit. Also, you shouldn’t smoke its not good for your health. Finally, all those other things can wait.
