Vietnam War - Thesis Statement
Its been a while, how are you all doing?
We are moving on to my next topic, Vietnam War/Conflict or in short-hand VW.
And, this essay is going to be a group effort. In my/our group me+Yessica+Nick are forming one group to tackle this VW essay.
This blog is dedicated to my new thesis statement relate to VW.
Here it comes, Vietnam War information was not distributed wide enough audience in the U.S because Vietnam War veterans had difficulty communicating to general public, general public had hard time perceiving and understanding the Vietnam War at the time, and as time passes more and more publications, media outlet were available to generate enough educating to general public that at last general public get to understand the Vietnam War and understood what had happened in Vietnam, and as a consequence of this long time offset some veterans committed suicide and had difficulty finding their social places in the general public atmosphere, yet other veterans who were able to communicate and channel their experiences to some kind of outlet were able to move on to their new lives after the war.
Don't keep your comment to yourself, let me hear from you about my thesis. Thanks.

Regarding artifacts of Vietnam Conflict (1960's-1970's)
Hello? How you all doing on this sunny sunday?
We are moving on to the topic of Vietnam Conflict or better known as the Vietnam War.
As of this blog's intend is to talk about the "artifacts" found along the wall of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington. The purpose of those artifacts from visitors of the memorial is to channel their feelings, views, sorrow, loss, pride, sacrifice and others that have been bottled inside. To see how the artifacts dedicated to the memorial is to see how people see the Vietnam Conflict, and throughtout time the observation of the artifacts, even before the artifacts have appeared say how people's perspective on the Vietnam Conflict have evoled.
Some example, Marita Sturken gives as artifacts on her representation, "The Wall, the Screen, and the Image: The Vietnam Veterans Memorial" were photographs, letters, teddy bears, MIAIPOW bracelets, clothes, and medals of honor.

Last Thoughts on Immigration
Hi? All? How you doing?
We have finished our immigration essays, congrats!
Now, i am ready to post some last thoughts on immigration issues in the U.S.
Before immigration unit started, i felt the immigration was all U.S fault, and immigrants did nothing to deserve to be treated the way they do now. However, after i have read all the things that i have read, i can safely say that immigration issue in the U.S is complicated, in least words.This is not only the problem of the immigrants, but everyone else who involved in it. Crimes that divulge in immigrant communities throughout the U.S have waken up some people, and they channel their voices with demand from politicians to pass tough law on immigration. Some programs, agencies in the U.S really help both citizens and immigrants who are under attack of the crime syndicates from outside the U.S. However, some laws, legislatures only siphoning the immigration problem from one place into another, yet two places are next to each other, so sooner or later the exchange will bring out the worst in both of them. Thus, not really solving the real problem of immigration and its notorious crime rates, violence and gang affiliations. I am happy to say that those who are in the U.S have their rights to protect themselves, their children from crime that comes with the immigration, but the immigrants also have rights to live freely, happily, as long as they do not disturb the communities that they live. In the end, it seems, the violence, crime only give worst for both sides, thus i offer both sides to keep on fighting against violence and crime by exchanging knowledge, information with one another to fight off this common enemy.
Lastly, the SB 1070 of Arizona state law is still under review and discussion with reason. First, this law supercedes the federal authority to rule over immigration policies, laws, legislatures, and most importantly enforce them. Second, this law has many loopholes, crack that it can go wrong so quick that it could deteriorate the communities that it intends to protect. And, for the frontliners who fight in these battles of immigration, crime, gang issues the SB 1070 is making them more busy than ever by diverting their attention into immigrant workers and not letting them work for the most violent, most cruel crimes that still gets carried out in the streets. After reading all that i have read, i feel more confident that there are people who really wants to make difference in this immigration issue, and all we need to do is open our ears, open our eyes so we can hear what others have to say, and we all can understand each other to solve this one problem of ours.

My take on SB1070 and overall (illegal) immigration in the U.S
Hello? Happy Friday? I know i am behind my laptop versus out partying, ooh well this is student life after all, somedays you just have to stay home.
Anyways, i would like to discuss thing or two on immigration in the U.S, specifically on SB 1070 which is a Senate Bill passed in Arizona, however, it hasn't been taken its full effect yet because judge Susan Bolton and the lower division court ruled that some sections of this bill was infringing on the Federal Constitution.
So, lets start off with my feeling on this SB 1070. I feel that SB 1070 is just a political instrument for politician, professionals to have good image on their portfolio for their election and promotional advantage. Because of the SB 1070 is used as Arizona state legislature to suspect people, arrest and detain them based on their "illegal vs legal look." In other words, anyone in the state of Arizona can be investigated by attourney generals, police, immigration agents for being looked suspicious based on their how much American they look like, or how much different they appear, act, talk in the state of Arizona holding can be placed under official order. And, there is federal program that put these "arrested" people's information in the system, so they can be determined whether they can stay in the U.S or not based on their verification of U.S citizen, or legal alien statuses. Just in 2010, U.S have deported 400,000 immigrants out of the country. However, the influx is so big in recent years, specially in the Arizona state, that it would be hard to say whether those 400,000 immigrants have come back to the U.S.
According to the U-Haul, moving truck renting company, more people use U-Haul to move into Arizona cities that moving out of the cities in Arizona state.
Most importantly, i feel the SB 1070 is making immigrant communities all over the U.S nervous, and immigrants in the Arizona state confused, shaken, scared and miserable because it deports people, families, normal working class immigrants, yet those people have simply have no choice but to look back with longing glance on the U.S, and most would come back someway because part of their family is in the U.S or their only home is in the U.S.
Also, i feel strongly about the SB 1070's resolve on crime that it should be dealing mainly, however, in this bill only 1 out of 16 pages is dedicated to sections on crime that is relevant to the immigrants. I have found out that the tendency to commit crime in the U.S by illegal immigrants is no significantly detectable versus legal citizen of the U.S committing crime. Thus, blaming the violence, crime solely on illegal immigrants is wrong.
Lastly, i feel strongly about the fact that illegal immigrants take the jobs of the legal citizens. In some degree it might be true; for example, in farming industry most workers are immigrants, and legal citizens would like to have those job, but the low wage that has been paid to the illegal immigrants preventing the farming companies from increasing the wage to hire legal citizens. However, when it comes to job, i think, if the person has the will to do it, no matter the condition either illegal or legal both would like to work, thus illegal immigrants blocking the way of legal citizens from having job is not that sound theory. On the other hand, if there were no illegal immigrants the jobs might increase the pay and start hiring legal citizens, however, there is possibility that those jobs simply could shipped overseas to make the production cost lower for the company. Thus, it is hard to argue whether having illegal immigrants in the u.S is really blocking the way for legal citizens to have normal jobs.
Lastly, since we are in the recession, in 2011, the high unemployment rate, economic unstability, lack of fiscal confidence and the confidence in the U.S financial system is affecting the minds of the people to have fear and anxiety that demand someone or something to blame all these faults on, and the voiceless, unprotected, weak illegal immigrants are the primary target of that. When the savings accounts are flourishing with money, everybody with jobs, protected from violence people tend to overlook the real life facts and feel secure thinking that what they have is what everybody is having, but in reality even in the "high times" the illegal immigration is still there, it is just less out in the open, if you will. And, people think less of it, it plays minority role on their lives, however, when things gets hard and people are desperate they want and need someone and something to blame it on, and the handy subject of immigration spring into action. Thus, i feel bad talking about immigration, blaming it, and ultimately glossing over the real issue of immigration which is the movement of people from less desired place to more pleasent location, and use immigration as surface political, economic play to subdue the real issue in our lives which are economical, political, systematical not immigrational.

Immigration in the U.S - Senata Bill 1070 - Arizona's new act
Alright, today, let's get into the immigration issue in the U.S. On April 23, 2010 the governor of the Arizona Jan Brewer signed the Senate Bill 1070 (1) into a law, and have become effective in 90 days from the signing. SB1070 is sponsored by Arizona senator Russell Pearce, and House Bill (HB) 2162 (2) in 2010 made changes to the SB1070.
From the fact sheet of the SB1070 i found that this bill is to require authorities of the state and political subdivisions to cooperate and assist the enforcement of federal immigration laws and gives county attorneys subpoena power(information extraction) in certain investigations of employers, and clamp down on crimes involving trespassing by illegal aliens, stopping to hire or soliciting work under specified conditions, and transporting, harboring or concealing unlawful aliens, and their respective penalties (3). In other words, this bill sanctions that federal immigration agencies and county attorneys the full power to investigate, if necessary "force" the information out of anyone who is suspected of being illegal in the state of Arizona.
