The article I read today is about Federal law enforcement agencies have increased criminal prosecutions of immigration violators to record levels, in part by filing minor charges against virtually every person caught illegally crossing some stretches of the U.S.-Mexico border, according to new U.S. data. Officials say there going to threaten prison, and a criminal record Skeptics say that the government lacks the resources to sustain the strategy on the border and that the effort is diverting resources from more serious crimes such as drug and human smuggling. last month's raid on a kosher meatpacking plant in Iowa, where federal authorities detained 389 workers; 297 were convicted of immigration-related felonies, mainly using false documents to obtain jobs.

“Iraqis unhappy with pact proposal”
►Today I read on the world wide SECTION newspaper that efforts to negotiate a long-term security pact that would set out how long U.S. forces stay in Iraq suffered a setback yesterday when the SIMILAR Iraqi government criticized proposals from U.S. negotiators and vowed to reject any deal that violated Iraqi sovereignty. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has been under political pressure to resist some U.S. demands. Street protesters loyal to the radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr burned American flags Friday to oppose the deal, and al-Sadr promised that his followers would stage regular protests through the summer. The pact, called a status of forces agreement, would address the future of U.S. bases in Iraq, immunity for U.S. soldiers and security contractors, the power of U.S. troops to detain Iraqis and conduct military operations, and control of Iraqi airspace. A U.N. resolution that authorizes the presence of U.S. troops in Iraq expires in December, and the United Nations is not expected to take the issue up again, leaving it to the United States and Iraq to work it out for themselves. Along with al-Sadr, the main Shiite political parties in al-Maliki's government have come out against key elements of the proposed agreement sought by the Americans. Kurds support a strong U.S. military presence, and some Sunni Arab politicians support the pact because they see the U.S. military as a bulwark against the rising power of the Shiite majority in Iraq.
►I don’t agree because it is their country.
►I also don’t agree because they don’t want to do nothing about it.
►In THEORY I think we should help them.
►I think the most interesting fact is that they are trying to do something about it.

ONE DAY I DONT LIKE IS A MONDAY.

Today in the CNN news I read about research results came out that childhood cancer is commonly found in the northeast SECTION. The large government study is the first to find notable regional differences in pediatric cancer. Experts say it also provides important information to bolster smaller studies, confirming that cancer is rare in children, but not SIMILAR to older kids, especially white kids. The study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is based on data representing 90 percent of the U.S. population. It found that cancer affects about 166 out of every million children, a number that shows just how rare childhood cancers are. The highest rate was in the Northeast with 179 cases per million children, while the lowest was among children in the South with 159 cases per million. That is an interesting fact that I learned today. I think this is really sad because with cancer your die slow and painfully.

A train crashed into a SECTION of a school bus carrying children at an railroad crossing in the French Alps, killing six children and injuring 30 people. I feel this tragic is SIMILAR to the 9-11 attack but not worse. The bus was carrying 50 middle school-age children, five adults on a field trip to Lake Geneva. The six children dead was all that had been riding on the bus and three of the 30 injured people are in serious conditions. That is such a tragedy, I think. Anytime innocent people die its just tragic, because the kids that died never really got to explore and live life. My THEORY for life is ,I live and make sure that I’m living to my fullest potential. Its like one day you here and the next day you gone. I really feel bad for the kids parents due to suffering and it really made it clear to me that life is not a game and we all should take life serious, because things like that would never stop occurring.

Today in this SECTION of CNN I read that, Three teenagers accused of forcing girls as young as 12 into prostitution have reached plea agreements and been sentenced to a juvenile detention center. The boys, two are 17 and one is 16, will be released no later than their 19th birthdays, according to the plea agreement. They each pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of compelling prostitution. In a SIMILAR exchange, prosecutors dropped other charges, including human trafficking. Police said they discovered the ring in August after a woman was caught offering men sex with a 14-year-old girl for $50. The teenagers were arrested in January after they had taken the girl to a convenience store to have sex with the owner, a regular customer of the ring, police said. The teens, suspected members of the Varrio Central gang, had a THEORY of befriending runaways and other girls with unstable homes and taking them to regular customers or finding new ones by trolling apartment complexes. If the girls refused to have sex for money, the gang members beat and sexually assaulted them and threatened their families, police said.

Today I read in the CNN news about a marine solider that Despite his caution, Lance Cpl. Robert Crutchfield, 21, was shot point-blank in the neck during a robbery at a bus stop. Feeding and breathing tubes kept him alive 4½ months, until he died of an infection on May 18.Two men have been charged in the attack, and Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason said Friday the case was under review to decide whether to seek the death penalty." It is an awful story," said Alberta Holt, the young Marine's aunt and his legal guardian when he was a teenager determined to flee a troubled Cleveland school for safer surroundings in the suburbs. Crutchfield was attacked on January 5 while he and his girlfriend were waiting for a bus. He had heeded the warnings of commanders that a Marine on leave might be seen as a prime robbery target with a pocketful of money, so he only carried $8, his military ID card and a bank card.

Today in the union tribune I read an article about a 7 week old baby left in a car for 45 minutes with all the windows rolled up in a grocery parking lot. Mandy Nichols 25, left the baby in the car long enough to shop for an entire cart of groceries purchase them and have them bagged up. The mother is going to be charged. The mother didn’t seemed worried at all she didn’t even cry. When rescuers first arrived the baby Serenity Soto was unresponsive. The temperature in the parking lot was 106 degrees, temperatures inside vehicles can soar to between 131 to 172 degrees, according to a Centers For Disease Control and Prevention study.
