The Border is not the problem

Issue Overview: Barack Obama gave a speech in which he was compassionate towards illegal immigrants but also focused on tightening security at the borders. He said that he wanted them to come forward without fear of punishment as long as they were willing to apply for legal status, pass a criminal background check and become contributing members of society. The speech was not well received as many view the illegal immigrants as criminals because they are breaking the law by living in the U.S. illegally. The article compares the immigration problems in the United States to those in Europe - where in most countries the laws are stricter and less welcoming to people from other nations.

Course Connections: We studied push and pull factors from rural to urban migration. America’s new policy seems to be more welcoming and compassionate to the struggles of the immigrants instead of focusing on the fact they are breaking the law. America can provide better employment opportunities for immigrants. Obama stated that he wanted to give these people a better chance for education and medical care. He seems to understand the benefits that these things can increase the quality of life. He also wants them to be welcomed and become part of the community instead of outcasts and second class citizens.

Key Stakeholders: Immigrants - both those currently living in America and those considering taking refuge in America, US politicians, US citizens. The immigrants living in America are a part of this because it affects their current status. People wanting to move to the US may consider a more lawful approach. Due to Obama’s mostly independent view on this topic, the politicians will be forced to change their long-standing ideas and possibly choose sides. The general population is being encouraged to accept the immigrants as neighbors, friends and co-workers - to live side by side with them as they do with others.

Contributing factors and Implications: This is both a social and a political issue. It is political because Obama made the decision to change policy even though the Republicans voted against it. Also, it is an innovative approach to a long-standing problem which often causes conflict within government which in turn affects the people in a country. People are comfortable with what they know and do not handle change very well. By reversing policies and in making huge changes, Obama is making some of the population uncomfortable which can lead to difficult situations - unrest, increase in prejudicial actions, segregation, etc.  

Bias: The bias in this article is evident as the author states in the title: The Border is not the problem. This shows that they obviously believe that there are flaws in the immigration system, rather than the border itself, which is not entirely based off facts, but beliefs.

Why did the United Kingdom launch some energy transition projects?

The energy transition is a shift to sustainable development coming with renewable energies and energy efficiency, where the main goal is to reduce the dependence to coal, petrol fuels and other non-renewable energy sources.

The energy mix of the United Kingdom refers to the distribution of the consumption of the different energy resources. The 2013 distribution between the main energies is:  20% for solid fuels, 33% for petroleum, 35% for gas, 3.8% for bio energies and wastes and 8.2% for electricity. Currently 8% of the energy consumption is of renewable energies. In 2012, more than 27% of the energy consumed was imported, mainly from the USA. In 2007, the United Kingdom Government agreed to a European Union plan aiming for every member to generate 20% of their energy from renewable sources by 2020. In order to do that, the UK government is putting a solid program in motion, along with a renewable energy policy. In order to be successful, they must get the trust of investors, consumers and organizations hosting renewable energy developments, with realistic projections.

According to National Grid, the future of the country holds three possible scenarios named slow progression scenario, gone green and accelerated growth.

The first one, here Slow progression, only takes in consideration gas and electricity demand projections, but it also includes the economic dimension. Demand rests on fuel prices, economic growth and the number of houses. Forecasting for electricity demand are not only for domestic usage but also for commercial and industrial usage. The goal that was set to be reached in 2020, regarding a decreasing consumption of gas and electricity, will in fact be attained in 2026.

The next scenario, which is a bit more optimistic and is the most reasonable of all, is called Gone Green. The fuel demand was calculated by assumption and all sectors' demands were gathered. Nowadays, all sectors put together use a total amount of 2250 TWh, National Grid hopes that around 2030, less than 2000 TWh will be needed. Besides, the renewable energy goal will be reached.

The last scenario, the Accelerated Growth, uses the same demand projections as Gone Green. Offshore productions are expected to increase quicker than in the Gone Green scenario, and there won't be any new nuclear plant built.

  The Government is committed to achieve its climate change and reach its renewable energies target. That is to say a 34% reduction of its greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 (compared to 1990), and at least an 80 % reduction by 2050; both reductions were settled in the 2008 “Climate Change Act”. In order to do so, carbon quotas have been set down by law, to define a maximum greenhouse gas emission. The government must also ensure that by 2020, 20% of the energy consumed in the United Kingdom comes from renewable sources, to follow European standards. Thus the efficiency of the renewable energy production is likely to increase and along with it the availability of this kind of energy.

On the other hand, nuclear plants are still the targets of a lot of protestors in the UK, for example there was a blockade at the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station in October 2011. But the government is encouraging nuclear programs; indeed there was in February 2013 the establishment of the Nuclear Industry Council and the government's attempts to replace the power plants, which will become obsolete in 2025.Thereby, the UK will certainly be using nuclear energy in the future.

Furthermore, we should consider the needs of energy in 2050. Indeed, demand for electricity is likely to rise. There will be improvements in households and non-domestic energy efficiency that will be generated through the introduction of the Green Deal. It is a system that enables private firms to offer consumers energy efficiency improvements, and the unfolding of Smart Meters across the country. Smart Meters are devices that come with in-home displays, which give people real-time feedback on their energy usage and what it is costing them; these devices are expected to be in every home in the UK by 2020. However demand for electricity may double by 2050 due to the expected expansion in the use of electricity, with the electrification of transports, heating systems and other carbon intensive sectors.

RESPONSE: Details of Teachers’ Strike Action Emerge

    The next article I have chosen to read, titled “Details of Teachers’ Strike Actions Emerge” outlines just as the title describes. The actions teachers will take under this strike, with a focus on elementary teachers in particular, are provided with a lack of detail. Such actions include a removal of extra curricular activities, field trips, etc as well as a fine of $500 if teachers choose not to ignore the restrictions set in place by the union. To me, it appears as if the union is taking actions too far. Applying a fine if teachers choose to use their personal time to aid students is just plain unfair, and I highly disagree with this action. Teachers are not paid for in the first place for the extra curricular activities and instead choose to do them out of their own will, and therefore I find that abolishing the teachers’ ability to do so in an act of protest is ridiculous, and fining teachers for running them even more so.  This leads me to wonder just how the teachers in question feel about the seemingly threatening statements made by the union. I feel as if in the future, the union may face a risk of dissolving completely because of the unfair actions taking place.

It May Be Torn, But It's Still Good

Here's the rub: according to the Guarantee Clause of Article IV (4) of the Constitution (super important government letter), every state in the Union (country) is guaranteed a "Republican Form of Government" (group of folks that represents THE MAJORITY of the people). But a certain judge named Roger B. Taney (ass hole) ruled that courts can't step in if a government (group of folks) is no longer accurately representing the people (99%) and kowtowing to an elite (1%). Mr. Taney ALSO ruled that a certain slave (Dred Scott) could not sue the government for freedom as blacks were not citizens (see *ass hole*). So, according to the Constitution (super important) our government (group of folks) has been hijacked (corrupted) and we MUST Occupy (demand our country back).
