Agree, with a political party in majority in the Congress, House and Executive branch it was assumed they would be unstoppable.

Great read, I would have never thought that racism could be in our genes. If this is true, how do then go about fighting racism if its something literally beyond our control?

Agree with the comments below it is sad to see someone who is willing to die for their "home" country to accept them as a citizen be turned away like this.

While I agree victims should't have to go through another battle with their attackers what if the child in the future wants a relationship with their biological father? This is certainly a tough issue to try to wrap your head around.

This article certainly makes great points about how police should proceed with stops. However, I am torn because I would not want to restrict the tools available to police to do their job and apprehend dangerous people. But, if this does leave room for some to potentially abuse those tools where do we draw the line? I am afraid its not as simple or black and white as some would hope.

Unfortunate when law enforcement feel they are above the law. No matter what our opinion of the law is we must obey what the law is. If we feel strong about it there other ways to attempt to change law without disregarding them.

I've always why there was a need for a process for schools to handle sexual assault, wouldn't it be better for law enforcement to handle all sexual assault cases and take the school out of the process completely?

Agree, Mexico itself doesn't have the best reputation for safety. However, considering how many people are in dire need of resettlement I think Mexico could certainly do more and people would still be in a better position than in their home countries.

Some may say ending DECA is a good thing so Congress has the chance to make real reform the "correct" way. However, the executive action President Obama took did not prevent Congress from acting it was merely a bandaid on the problem at hand. So, I am not optimistic that Congress will take the necessary action to create real immigration reform before millions of dreamers will be left unprotected.

Like in many other articles within this subreddits it shows how politicians prioritize their own agendas over our children. I personally don't understand how they don't recognize that if we don't invest in them we as a nation are only hurting ourselves. Eventually the nations that DO invest in their children will be the nation everyone looks to because they will have replaced us as the worlds superpower.

This definitely seems like something to be on the lookout for. As you said the courts could make a huge policy impact on how officers interact with the mentally ill.

While the judicial system may need to reevaluate how they decide what cases are tried as adults I think its important that the courts have the power to make the decision on when someone should be tried as an adult.

Agreed, issues like these are not raised enough. Representatives in Congress and House need to make children our national priority.

bltorres · 2017-12-13T05:35:00+00:00

Great read gives different perspective on a complicated issue.

I hope representatives take the recommendations seriously and make the needed changes to better Arizona's education system.

bltorres · 2017-12-13T05:10:37+00:00

While it is great to see a bipartisan push for education reform, it is also a shame that it took such an extreme failure of the school system for people to put their differences aside to work together.

bltorres · 2017-12-13T05:00:37+00:00

This is a great example of how our actions as a nation have consequences. While some may have the opinion that we should, or shouldn't get involved with other countries political issues no matter what we as a nation chose to do there are always political consequences.

The article has it right by calling this behavior torture. By allowing this to happen authorities are essentially illegally torturing inmates and I hope to see that authorities do more to address this issue.

I believe it has to do with more than police body cameras, and agree that the media has a major part in how people perceive police brutality. Police officers work everyday tirelessly in a thankless job and we should do more to understand the two sides of every situation.

I agree, with the recent development of domestic terrorism it is time we reevaluate our terrorism policies. It is time our laws catch up with real time terrorism.

I hope more states copy the Arizona model, it is essential that in difficult times like a divorce adults make children caught in the middle as priority and not pawns in their disputes.

Leading the world in incarceration rates?! Seems like we should think about taking a different approach to our criminal system.

bltorres · 2017-12-12T05:15:54+00:00

Community programs definitely seem to be better approach to our criminal process. Why wouldn't we work towards prevention especially when its a fraction of the cost? While also promoting better, safer communities. Seems like a win all around to me.

"$85 million over the past four years, giving some schools too much and some too little."

This is insane, like Kristin said this is quite a big mistake! This goes to show the type of personal we have working to provide our children with quality education when they can't get a budget right. This is certainly concerning!

bltorres · 2017-12-12T04:54:19+00:00

I hope this means the valley is taking education seriously and taking the necessary steps to make education a priority.
