Within the last couple of months he have found that there are 545 children under the U.S. Government's custody. Some news sites like NBC News state that this is an act of "government sanctioned child abuse", children being kept in cages for the last three years unable to find their parents, because of Trump's action. Trump's actions were that three years ago he started a zero tolerance policy that separated children from the people crossing the border with them until tried by a jury, but some of the children still have not reunited with their parents. However, some sites like Politico say that it is hard to find these parents because the children did not come with them and some parents don't even want them back. While unclear on the morality of the separation it is also unclear to how well these children are living, some live in with sponsors or relatives, in hotels paid for by government or in onsite cages. Trump however at the second presidential debate pointed the finger of the cages on to the Obama administration. At the debate both parties (Biden's and Trumps's) were able to address the situation. After watching the video of the debate and seeing the vast different stories on both sides do you think that Trumps actions were just. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/lawyers-say-they-can-t-find-parents-545-migrant-children-n1244066

With the resources and easy accessibility of a post secondary education that we have today, it is common to see many high school graduates expand their knowledge and choose a career path through college. Unfortunately, the student debt crisis that we face right now is causing an exceedingly growing number of young generation students to turn their heads at furthering their education past high school. On average, Americans will spend over $26,000 per year on university level schooling. By the end of a four year general degree program, students of above average income families will need to pay off more then $40,000 in student loans. As of 2011, the student loan debt in America surpassed the nation’s credit card debit and continues to grow annually, leaving many young adults in life altering financial situations. In a day and age where education is so important, is it fair to expect students to make an investment that may help them succeed career wise, but leave them struggling to pay off debt for the rest of their life?

All of them believe their vote will decide which candidate will win, and to a degree it does, but in reality it is the Electoral College votes that decide who will lead our country. Since the Electoral College delegates vote is based on their states majority decision, in an all or nothing vote (excluding Maine and Nebraska) a sizable amount of the population in each state is left with their vote being meaningless each year. In Idaho this may seem insignificant, for example if one party had 1000 more votes and received all four Electoral College votes, but in California, the difference of one vote can grant one party all 55 electoral college votes in that state. Although this system was implemented in order to balance out the votes across the country to prevent states with bigger populations from drowning out all other small ones, it is questionable whether or not it is truly benefiting our country. With all this is mind, should the United States continue the use of or abolish the Electoral College?Recently our United States Supreme court has lost one of it's members, Ruth Bator. The current U.S. president Donald Trump and the Republican party was quick to make a new nomination because of the election closing in soon. The Democratic party wants to wait until the election is over to select a new nomination so that the people have a say in whether it's from the Democratic or Republican party. Donald Trump as a nomination in place, Amy Coney Barrett. Barrett's confirmation process will take up to about two months. If Barrett makes it through the confirmation stage and takes the place of Ruth Bator, would this have been a good decision for the United States?
