What Aaron and I have in common: Some issues that Aaron and I both have in common is Immigration and the American Foreign Policy. We both feel that it is very important to keep in contact with foriegn countires. It is not only important to communicat with their governments but with the people as well. Our American Foreign Policy has had many tiumphs but yet many failures too. Winning the Cold War and the break-up of the Soviet Union. Aaron says "This succes demonatartes the invaluable long-term commitment to our policy and principles." I agree that our accopmlishments were because we were able to do what was needed and it shows in some of the policy failures that we need to communicate with peoples of other nations. Our leaders must be able to idnetify a crises of the future and establish a plan for it. That was another both Aaron and I agreed on. As for immigartion, we need to be able to deal with the issue in a certain way. There is an estimate of about 12 to 15 million Immirgants in the U.S. many of these Immigrants are illegal but we cannot abanodon the rights of freedom, education, medical care and housing for all imigrants.

Five Interesting Facts: 1. The current Capitol Building of Illinois is in the style of French Renaissance 2. The Black Hawk War ended Indian troubles in Illinois 3. The state was orginally nicknamed the Algonquin Indian which means war 4. British gained control of the area after the French and Indian war 5. The state had many Indian troubeles during the Revolution

Five Issue related facts: 1. One million new residents have settled in Illinois ver the past ten years 2. Illionis is the fifth most populated state in the country 3. There was a major increase of Immigrants in Illinois causing it to be the ninth largest Increase in the country 4. In the year 2000, 432,000 illegal immigrants started living in Illinois 5. Illinois has recieved nearly 25,250 refugees from 1996 to 2004

Three Key Issues:

1. Illegal Immigration has had a major increase over the last couple years. In the year 2005 the United States found that there were over 191 million immigrants which is over three percent of the Worlds Population. This represented a rise of 26 million since 1990. Sixty percent of these immigrants were now in developed countries, an increase on 1990. Those in less developed countries stagnated, mainly because of a fall in refugees. Contrast that to the average rate of globalization (the proportion of cross-border trade in all trade), which exceeds 20 percent. The numbers of people living outside their country of birth is expected to rise in the future.

2. Consumer debt, more than 3,8000 residental mortgage complaints have been made: is the outstanding debt of consumers as opposed to buisinesses or governments. It is basically debt that is fund consumpiton rather than investiment. In past years an alternative analysis might view consumer debt as a way to increase domestic produciton. If credit is avaliable than the increased demand for consumer goods should cause an increase of overall domestic production.The permanent income hypothesis suggests that consumers take debt in smooth consumtion throughour their lives. Borrowing the finance expenditures earlier in theirs lives and paying down debt during high earnig periods.

3. Identity theft is within the top five issues and many complanits have been filed over the past year: Identity theft is a form of fraud or cheating in an other persons identity in which someone pretends to be someobe else by assuming that persons identity. It is usually done to access reosurces or obtian credit and other benefits in that persons name. The victim of the Identity Theft can be held responsible for all actions done by the perpetrator(s) they can also suffer adverse consequences and losses. The term identity theft was created in the year 1964. The crime of identity theft is not to refer to the persons philosophical being but more their public persona.
