Random Thoughts Series 1/2008
On Immigration
On the debate "Should We Welcome Undocumented Immigrants," Heather McDonald states: "A significant portion of the children of illegal Mexicans and Central Americans are adopting an underclass culture, as anyone can verify for himself by looking at social statistics or spending time in heavily Hispanic schools. Until we figure out how to prevent this from happening, our unrestricted immigration flows guarantee social problems for years into the future." The assertion McDonald made rings through like a liberty bell. On the debate, the other side which is against the motion would seem to appeal to emotions. For instance, Enrique Morones discuss the treacherous trek of illegal immigrants across the border. He even gave a scenario when one of the illegal crossers died of possible starvation or from the heat. The bottom line, the side against the motion seems to appeal to emotion and seem to bring up the archaic treaty: Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Since the other side seem to appeal emotionally, it is reasonable to say that people should not welcome undocumented immigrants. Proponents to welcome undocumented immigrants would seem to miss the point. The U.S. has it laws. Welcoming undocumented immigrants is blatantly disregarding the law, which define every person who steps on US soil on legal channels. Aside from bringing an underclass culture, it is an insult to those who complied with rules and regulations.
On friendship
There are many ways for a friendship to fall apart. Perhaps it is the distance; perhaps it is the complacency to communicate in both sides. Should friendship fall apart, one should let it take its corresponding course. Let destiny disavow, repudiate, and disclaim what once has been a fusion of two connected souls.
On ER
The Emergency Room appears to be one of the busiest places, especially when one is a Registered Nurse. Hollywood and Television seem to make a great disservice to viewers by conveying ER to be one of the placers where potential lovers meet (or even become intimate with each other). In other words, to refute the misinformation that Hollywood and television caused, the Emergency Room is a place of astute nursing assessment, professionalism, and calculated humor.
