My School

I go to Anderson High School, or L.C. Anderson High School. I always wondered what the L.C. stood for, I used to think it stood for something like Lieutenant Colonel, but apparently that's not it. Anyways, Anderson is a pretty cool place, it goes from 9th grade to 12th grade. If you go to it for the first time, everything looks the same, and it's really hard to get around. After you've been there for a week or two, things start getting easier to find. Anderson has lots of great clubs, sports,teams, classes and other events. I'm not any any clubs yet, but I probably will join one soon. So if you happen to be looking for a school in the Austin Independent School District,Austin,Travis County,Texas, United States, North America, Western Hemisphere, Earth, Solar System, Milky Way Galaxy, Universe area, then go to L.C. Anderson High School!

Immigration

I live in the United States, Texas, Austin. Yes, there are many illegal immigrants in the U.S. and they come from all over, but mainly Mexico (At least in Texas.) I think immigrants come to the U.S. for different personal reasons, but usually mainly to find better opportunities. The U.S. is known for it's freedom, and the immigrants probably want their share of it. Our country deals with illegal immigrants in different ways. In Texas, there's the natural border (the Rio Grande), which is enforced by man made borders such as the fence. There is also the border patrol, to better control the borders. But it's not all dealt with by force. There is a system so that legal immigrants don't get mistaken for illegal ones. There are papers, documents, and other legal verification.

But papers can be forged and fences breached....................



(Okay, I admit that last sentence was kind of creepy, but hey, I got into it.)
