Deportation Article

I believe that if an immigrant comes to the U.S. illegally, they should get kicked out.  If they were a baby when they came they should be allowed to stay if they want.  I don't think it should matter if they have lived in the U.S for a long time. If they don't have the right paper work and have never been allowed to be a U.S citezen then they should go back.  I think that it's their own fault for coming here illegally and they should have to pay the consequences. 
If the families have the right paperwork and their green card, they should have nothing to worry about.  For the daughter in the article,(Article), I think that she should be able to stay but the mom should be deported.  I don't know why she is being deported but it must be that she's here illegally. 
I've wondered why it has taken this long for the feds to get them and why didn't she get her papers done during this time.  This is why I think she should go.  They had all this time to do the paper work and it has yet to be done.  I'm very much for stricter border control.  I believe that illegal immigration is a crime and they should be sent back. 
I'm all for immigrants coming to America to enjoy the freedom and lifestyle but they should do it legally.  I do believe that what they are doing to the daughter is wrong and she should be able to stay because she was only a baby when she came.  She wasn't able to choose then and I believe that she should have that choice now.

SC-What's mine is NOT yours

Article 1
The reason that I named the article this is because I feel this way about many things.  Everyone's always trying to mooch off of me.  They think that what's mine is their's, but it's not.  I'm all into sharing things with others but sometimes I don't think I should give everything I have to them. Why should someone else succeed off my hard work? 
Article 2
Sometimes I don’t understand high school especially Kahuku High.  It seems like people always want to be my friends when I have something they want.  One thing that really irritates me is when others want to cheat off my work.  When I say no they get upset making it seem like I was suppose to give him my homework.  One experience I had was a few years ago a guy in my class asked if he could copy my homework.  I told him no and he acted like I was the bad guy.  I didn’t even know him that well and he still expected me to give him my homework.  I don’t get that around here.  Everyone here was brought up thinking what’s mine is yours so they can have anything they want.  That is really irritating because they were too lazy to do it themselves. 
            This could also relate to other things too like people borrowing things.  I hate when others ask to borrow my things but they never return it.  My neighbor asked to borrow our lawn mower and didn’t return it for a month.  When they did it was dirty and out of gas.  That kills me sometimes when people don’t take care of your things when you let them borrow it.  That’s one thing with me.  If I borrow something from someone else I always take good care of it and let no one touch it.  Some people just don’t understand that it’s not respectful to use other’s things and break or mess them up.
            I also hate it when others ask to borrow things which you don’t really want them to borrow.  My family used to have a kayak and my neighbors would always want to borrow it.  The kayak was expensive and we didn’t want them to break it.  When we got it back one time it had a huge scratch on the side of it.  Ever since then we didn’t let anyone use it unless they were family.  Most of these people are just free loaders and want to take your stuff.  Living here in Hawaii I’m just going to have to deal with it because it’s all over the island.
Article 3 
I first came across Hunger Games when my sister interrupted me cooking dinner during the summer.  She told me that it was a great book and that I should read it.  I'm not that much into reading but I decided "What do I have to lose?".  The cover of it interested me.  It had a symbol of a bird in a ring on the front and it was jet black.  From then I knew that this book would interest me.
The book is set in the future of a post-apocoliptic world which used to be North America. It is spit into twelve districts which vary in wealth.  The main character, Katniss Everdeen, is in District 12, the lowest district.  Every year the Council or goverment holds "Hunger Games" to keep the districts in line. The names are chosen randomly from each District and Katniss' name is called.  
District 12 is not the favorite going into the games.  She is forced to go to the "Hunger Games" and fight for her life.  The contestants must fight in an arena of the Council's choosing. The last one to survive is the winner and is awarded great treasures.  
I personally thought the book was great.  It had a lot of action and adventure along with excitement.  It kept me guessing on what was going to happen next.  I couldn't put the book down.  This was probably one of the best books I have read. I think that if you're into adventure and action, this book would be good for you.  It gets a little corny at some parts but the excitement gets you through it.  I liked the book and I would give it a try if I were you.
