Hijab or no Hijab?

My first impression of this law is pretty bad. We, as humans should freely choose what to wear. Based on many people's belief system, it might be a hat, scarf, or clothing that represents their religion or morals. In the case of the head scarf, if the Muslim school girls needs or wants to wear it to school, to respect and honor their religion tradition, they should allow them to do whatever they please. It is none of the french government's business to interfere with what they wear. It does no harm to the public whatsoever. I am strongly against the law that they had made regarding the ban of hijab on school campuses.

Immigration

Immigration is when people from other countries come to a country and live there. Most of them come to the United States with "American dream." Some people oppose, while some people support it. It has been a controversial issue for many, many years. Not long ago, there were issues about giving jobs to the illegal residents. The government did not allow them to work, or even be in America illegally. However, amongst them are hard-working and determined people who came to America with hopes and dreams to start a new life. If they do not have jobs, they are going to starve to death. At least, they should be hired with a decent job. What I want to know is: What is government doing, at this moment, to ameliorate the issue of immigration? Are they doing anything, or are they trying to avoid the problem by making the problem worse?
