3- Current Events - by going to any of the major news sources on the Internet, find out the issues that are being discussed in Congress by searching under "politics." Find a subject that interests you, tell what it is and explain what the issue is about. Detail what the arguments are on each side of the question.
At this time of the year there is much debate in Congress about the new Immigration Law which Obama has been trying to pass. Under Obama’s administration there is a non-deportation policy.
“Congressional Democrats on Monday introduced a bill to grant taxpayer-funded lawyers to the illegal immigrant children surging across the border, with backers saying the children shouldn’t be forced to face the complex U.S. immigration system alone”(1).
This law would change the fact that under federal law, taxpayer’s money cannot be used to pay legal fees. Democrats feel that it is not fair for children to face immigration courts without a lawyer.
