3 most important issues Illegal Immagrants: In my opinion, we should make more of an effort to stop people from illegally coming to the United States from Mexico. We should make the fence at the border harder for them to climb over and up the troops at the borders gates and search more suspicious cars. These people are stealing jobs from good American people and we have enough issues with the economy as it is. More and more people lose their jobs to them everyday. The work for longer hours and less pay than any sense-able person would and many businesses see them as the person for the job.We have to deport them and make our country better.

Air Pollution: Many harmful substances are always in the air, such as radon, carbon monoxide, and tobacco smoke. Coal burning should be reduced so that less pollution would be released into the air. The most common dangers in the air are carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, ozone, particular matter, VOCs, and lead. All of these things being in the air can cause lunger cancer and other very serious illness that may lead to death.

Organized Crime: Crime has been around since the very first days of American civilization. As people moved into cities and factories during the Industrial Revolution, crime increased because it could be done with out as much attention. Organized Crime became a huge issue and it still is even to this day. We still have bank robberies, drug dealers, and murderers that are part of a large group of people telling them what to do. We can up enforcement in areas where most crimes tend to happen. Gangs tend to be in more run down, poverty stricken places, and we can help them by giving them a chance to have more jobs available so that people do not choose to follow a life of crime that will eventually lead to being even more poor. We can stop crime and protect citizens loyal to the law if we work together.
