The past weekend consisted of a very politically controversial topic. The NFL had almost all of their teams either sit, kneel, or stay in the locker rooms for the national anthem playing. Whether or not you agree with the message they are giving is irrelevant on the sheer and utter disrespect all these teams showed. These players get to live in America and be free and safe to have their freedom of speech in which they should use. As public figures they should provide a platform in which they spread the word of the injustices happening in America.

This means that more than likely all of us have been affected by this and will have a risk of our identities being used to apply for credit cards and loans, ultimately wrecking our credit.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/05/us/politics/trump-daca-dreamers-immigration.html?mcubz=1 President Trump has made pushes for the ending of DACA and has a lot of controversy going on around it. While I believe that illegal immigration is wrong and should be handled I believe this is in a different category. The children of these illegal immigrants are born in the United States and have been a part of the country since birth. While the fact of their parents coming to the country was illegal I believe they should not be punished and deported. This country is all they have known their entire life and many may not have family left in their parents originating country. This is an immoral move the president is making. This is of course just my opinion however.
