I have received some comments stating the want for more opinion type blog assignments, so here we go!!

Recently, we have discussed citizenship and immigration issues. For this assignment you are to state what you think the government should do about immigration (Not just illegal immigration, but legal immigrants too). Remember, the U.S. is a country made up of immigrants. Then the second and third parts of this assignment is to look at two of your classmates blogs and comment/reply on their opinion.

Welcome back for another exciting year! I hope your summer went well and you had time to do whatever it is you do. For this first blog assignment, you are to tell a little bit about your summer.
