Drug Legalization

     Many people believe that if certain drugs, let's say marijuana, were legalized then maybe not that much people would want to do it. It's foolish that people think just because it's a rule not to do it, that drives people to want to do it. But I think that's just a dumb excuse. That should not even be a reason to why it should be legalized. Just so maybe less people will feel the want to abuse drugs?
     I think that we should keep laws against drugs for the sake of the children. Yes, there are lots of teens who do take in illegal use of drugs, but when drugs become legal, there will be way more exposure. That will ruin and corrupt the younger kids even more. There probably will never be a way for drug regulation to be perfect, but at least keep trying to protect the innocent people who don't want drugs apart of their lives.
     We should not legalize drugs! Just like cigarettes, although they are legal and their are certain regulations, many people still break those rules. Like smoking away from public facilities, the law against that did reduce smoking in public areas a whole lot, but there still are a lot of places that people get away with smoking because the law is not enforced as it should be. So everyone who believes that legalizing drugs will make the usage actually go down, should be realistic. There is no potential solution to less drug usage if we legalize it, stop being silly.

Don't Deport

     I don't think that the Habibs should be deported because they are law abiding citizens, have known America as their own home, and have been here for so long. At the most because they are not citizens, they should be given a fine or something. But I see that Nadia Habib has good work ethics, and sadly better than some US Citizens. She is striving for a higher education, while there are people around me who have excuses as to why they don't attend college and don't seek for a good job though they have all the opportunities in the world.
     This family will be torn apart and this choice of whether to deport them or not will probably ruin them. If the officials plan to let some law-abiding citizens stay who have ties to the US, then this is the family to let slide. Nadia Habib is nothing more than an innocent girl, without the citizenship to live in a place she works hard in, and a place she calls her home but she lacks the right official paperwork.
     Nadia and her mother should be allowed to stay and gain their citizenship. This is for the sake of their family and so she can continue her study of psychology and dream of becoming a drug researcher. This is a case that I say mercy should be given.
