Immigration in the past and future


This article was about how immigration has changed throughout the years and about a new law that was passed in Alabama. Before the economy was bad immigrants were accepted to take the lower paying jobs and were considered an important part of the economy. Know that there are less jobs they are seen as competition. From 1990 to 2000 the U.S. gained 11.3 million immigrants, this is the largest increase this country has ever experienced, a growth rate of 57%. Alabama has just passed a law that is making illegal immigrants take their kids out of school and disappear from Alabama farms. Many people wonder what else will happen around the topic of immigration as election time comes closer and the economy progresses.

amazing book

I just finished reading this book and oh my gosh it is amazing!! I know a lot of people said to me that they didn't like the ending but I really loved it. It sort of made me mad in a way but I still liked it a lot at the same time. it defiantly was a cliff hanger and now I'm very eager to read the next 2 books. do you guys feel the same way? do you think the next few books will be as good as the this one?
I would do anything to get some food and when I do I would be so happy

Berries of Rebellion

Hey guys Im the lead blogger this week and I want to know what you guys thought of the books ending...
I have read the whole series but the twist at the end of book 1 is my favorite. When I first read it I was shocked and mad. Would you guys have done what Katniss did? Did you think it was as big a deal as the Capitol made it?

Why do you think Katniss's stunt could potentially cause rebellion?

I think that the reason her berry stunt was such a big deal was because it showed the Capitol and all the districts that the Capitol does not have full control over them. The whole point of the Hunger Games is to show all the Districts that they can do whatever they want to them and their kids. Katniss is defying the Capitol and shows the District people that they do have a choice and a say in what happens to them. It can ignite hope for change, and therefor cause rebellion.

End...

The ending was really intense..... I haven't read the second one yet, but Peeta is being kinda mean. I knew both Katniss and Peeta would win so..... yea...
