HB96 LGross Representative New Jersey-[] Republican Rodney Frelinghuysen-[]

//"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."//

--Theodore Roosevelt, 1907

**Issue Number 1: Criminal Justice/Over Crowding Jails**

The problem is the US has the highest crime rate. Our goverenment should first look at the crime, the prisoner has commited and if it is not as severe or a threat to society they could put them under house arrest or have a tracking device to know where the crimal is at all times. This could help because the jails will not get as crowded and only people who have done something that they can not be allowed outside should be in jail. Others just on watch.


 * Issue Number 2: The Cost of Education**

The problem is having middle class people be able to afford college. The cost keeps rising. The government is trying to fix this by giving $10,000 tax credit. Also if you work in the field of law or teachers the loan is forgivin after working n that field for 10 years. Or the schools shoud have funraiseres to be able to buy supplies for kids or help familes out by working something out for buying lunchs. The little things people could do can help kids education.


 * Immigration/Green Card**

Green cards have been a big issue. First people try to sneak over the border line without a green card. Or some people try to get a green card just to come into the US and be able to do whatever they need or want. To have a green card you must give a good reason. Then there are some people who try to use marriage fraud to get a green card and stay in the country. Immigrants just use Americans to be able to get a green card and do not marry for the right reasons. The US government should increase border line sercuity or make couples get a marriage license inorder to get a green card.
