__**5 interesting facts:**__ __**5 issue related facts: Crime, Drugs, Illegal Immigrants**__ __**3 Important Issues**__ __**Bill Page Link**__ How Our bill Will Work: Purpose- Our bill is to eliminate the amount of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. From drug smugglers, to regular immigrants looking for a better life, we're here to stop it. The illegal immigrants are costing our American taxpayer's their money. As of now, we have spent over 113 billion dollars per year on illegal immigrants. In the average American home, the one household pays $1147. Our bill cuts these costs and focuses them on a better area of spending for our country. The money we are spending on illegal immigrants is unnessesary. Our governments money should be going towards something else worthy of spending. We have no problem with allowing future citizens into our country, but doing it illegally is not the proper way to do so. Our bill will work because it has updated technology to catch and send illegal immigrants back to there native country. It will enforce our border by adding men to patrol the road and border. We will get our money from taxpayers in America. __**10 Resources:**__ "Security Cameras - Bosch Group NEI809V0421W." //Welcome to Pillar Security - Your Source for Security, Audio/video, Auto-id and Point of Sale Products!// Pillar Security, 26 Apr. 2011.

 * Tennessee- [|Joe E. Armstrong], [|Eddie Bass] These are my two representatives. We all are democrats which means we believe we should spend money because you have to spend money to make money. We also all believe that students should have identification at a state university to show that they are actually students. This prevents unknown people from entering the premises and harming kids which falls along the lines of crime. Also, we all believe that children should get a free education, and that alcohol should be illegal to peole who look under the legal age. These are very bad problems that can lead to crime.**
 * Liberal View**
 * 1. Tennessee was named The Volunteer State during the War of 1812 when volunteer soldiers from Tennessee fought in the Battle of New Orleans**
 * 2. Elvis Presley's home, Graceland, is located in Memphis**
 * 3. Murfreesboro sits in the exact geographical center of the state of Tennessee**
 * 4. Rock and Roll was established in Tennessee**
 * 5. The Great Smokey Mountains National Park is the most visited park in the United States**
 * 1. There have been 299,839 crimes(murders, rapes, assaults, robberies, and hijackings) in Tennessee in the year 2010**
 * 2. Memphis is one of the most drug polluted cities in Tennessee**
 * 3. The Illegal Immigrant rates have shot up in the Texas, Mew Mexico, Arizona, and California areas.**
 * 4. If 100 is the safest, Memphis is a 2 on the most dangerous cities in U.S. They are safer then 2% of the cities in the U.S.**
 * 5. In episodes of, The First 48, Tennessee is featured because of its murder cases.**
 * 1.Crime is a growing problem in the United States. Over 431 people were murdered from homicide in the year 2009. Our crimes committed are usually murders, rapes, robberies, grand theft auto, or assaults. Our crime rate has been growing rapidly for fairly foolish reasons. Murdering and robbing for money, raping for self pleasure, and hijacking for selfish greed. Our crime has gone over board and needs to come to a hault as soon as possible. In my article, trouble with gangs have caused crime rate to go up. They got out and find teens and even adults t join their gangs to do their "dirty" work. They steal, kill, and do harm to people.**
 * 2.Over 12.8 million people use drugs on a current basis. Drugs are bad for the mind and the body. They alter the brain and mess with people's daily functions. Drugs are killing many people from overdose and from long periods of using it. We need to take a stronger intiative to stop the creating, buying, and distributing of drugs. Drugs are killing more and more people every year and it is harming our poplulation. If we don't put a stop to this addictive substance, our population could take a turn for the worse. In my article, I read that gangs also have a big part in this because they do alot of selling and buying from people. They are a major part of the drug production and distribution going on in Tennessee.**
 * 3. We are currently spending 113 billion dollars on illegal immigrants.Illegal Immigrants are a big problem in the U.S because there are so many of them now a days. They all want freedom. We cannot house and feed all of these immigrants, so they come over illegally. They find low paying jobs to make for a better life for there families. I can understand why they want to come over, but illegally isn't the way to do it. They take americans jobs, and don't pay taxes so it is unfair to americans who don't pay taxes. In my article I read, people are trying to get immigration legallized and stop people from entering the U.S illegaly. Americans don't like that in our tight economy, immigrants are getting possible jobs. Americans find this unconstitutional according to my article.**
