I think a major problem with the control of firearms in the USA is that there is no happy medium within politics. Some people push to abolish the second amendment altogether. I believe this is overkill. Others want to have no gun control at all. I think this could prove dangerous. I think we can decrease the gun related crime by only selling firearms to qualified personnel. guns in the hands of a frequent criminal can cause injuries or even death. However, if we sell to responsible members of the United States, they can use them for the American past time of hunting and give them a sense of security in their homes.

I believe that immigration is a huge issue our country faces today. I believe that if we make it cheaper and less time consuming to become a legal immigrent there will be less illegal immigration. This, along with hiring more border patrol officers, can help our economy thrive. There will be more jobs open to Americans that "illegals" had taken before.
 * Issue #2: Illegal Immigration**

I believe the PATRIOT ACT is a great bill. It helps keep our country safe from terrorism and makes it impossible for terrorists to communicate electronically. Many people argue that the act is an invasion of privacy. But let me ask you this: Do you really think United States countertenor specialists care about your neighborhood gossip?
