On February 23 The Los Angeles Times publiished a new article on Immigrants getting drivers license

The author’s intended audience was towards people who live in states that have a high a percentage of immigrants that come in to their state and are driving around illegally with out a drivers license. Sheriff Baca's argument in this article is that he believes immigrants should go and get a drivers license and apply for all the things they need to towards becoming a citizen and also pay for car insurance just like the rest of us do. His logic to this conclusion is that if immigrants got their drivers license then less people would leave after an accident. Sheriff Baca states that most often people leave after an accident has occured because they are afraid of the consequences since they are not from the united states and they don't have drivers license so allowing them to get their drivers license would greatly minimize this percentage of people who leave during accidents because, if they have a drivers license then therefore they will not leave. I agree with this logic since there is a lot of illegal immigrants that are out there driving and allowing them to recieve a drivers license would also make driving on the road much safer and could possible minimize car accidents as well. Its only fair if immigrants want to come into our country that they also do the things that all citizens in the United States have to do and have such as having to earn and get a drivers license to drive on the road. If immigrants got their drivers license "On Wednesday, Beck said he does not believe licenses for illegal immigrants should be identical to standard licenses, saying "it could be a provisional license, it could be a non-resident license." By giving immigrants a different type of license it can help us determine whether or not to also make them a citizen by taking how they drive in consideration such as if they are always caught drunk driving then that would be a penalty towards becoming a citizen but it would help with many accidents that occur on the road if they had drivers license to determin who they are in case of a fatal accident.

 No child left behind 

Things constantly change in our government everyday whether we may notice it or not. For example, in the article it talks about how Obama had made a program called the "No child behind". This program was made to be put into schools across the United States to ensure that schools would higher their testing scores especially in math and science since, those are generally the lower grade percentages in schools. About a decade after president Obama passed this law he gave 10 states a break on the crucial standards allowing them to adjust to the "No child left behind" program.  New Jersey, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Indiana, Colorado, Minnesota and Oklahoma were of the first states who received this special waiver on Thursday from President Obama. He allowed them to make up their own percentages of what they believed would be acceptable and good for their schools as long as they were higher than before and that they would continue on improving their students education until there was a bare minimal of students who weren’t being successful at school. Some people’s reactions to this was that they disliked it very much since they said their children’s education was not some sort of poker chip to be throwing around and be messing with. This would be a very good article for people of any age to read whether you have small children or not because, it affects many people. You may not have children but, you may have brothers and sisters who are still very young and all these laws that are being passed will be affecting them. Laws that get passed on education are very important and should be taken seriously since the youth of the United States are of course how they say the future. If we don't learn how to educate the future of the United States then we won’t be able to get very far in Government or in anything else around the world. This is definitely an article worth reading because, it keeps you informed about what is happening around the world up to this day concerning politics and laws on education which to many of us is very important and is why we’re all going to school rite now.
