yale 2I feel too involved in constitutional law in general but I haven't seen a TV or a newspaper for a week. I have no clue what's going on in the world and it makes me really anxious. My parents said it's no good.
I have to write a bill for that stupid Leadership and Public service class. I chose to do it on immigration reform, but I don't know how I could effectively repeal the consequences of the 1954 and 1965 Immigration Acts, which basically made immigration increase by some extremely ridiculous factor. My bill aims to suppress the effects of chain migration by putting limits on the amount of visas given for family members of immigrants. The problem with chain migration is it's like foreign governments, through their emigrants, can in a way dictate American immigration standards and law. That's absurd and needs to be eradicated, along with the little obscure provision in the 1954 Act that gave Presidents the right to allow unlimited immigration. Psh. I'm ok with a little immigration, but now it's ridiculous. American culture and values get pushed away and other cultures take us over. It's kind of a happy Mexican invasion. They're coming to take Texas. No, honestly, 60% of Mexicans believe they should own parts of Southwestern America. That scares the hell out of me.
See, the old immigration was good because they assimilated. Yeah, you have Little Italy and Chinatown, but these people are still Americans, and accept American culture and values. The (mainly) Latin American immigrants nowadays come to our country uneducated, without our values, and get on the welfare roll to stay. And they sure as hell don't assimilate. You know what? English should be made our national language - not in the name of ethnocentrism, because that's not my point. Too many separate cultures causes Balkanization - think about what happened with the Ottoman Empire! I dunno. We just have to be united, or we aren't a country. But I guess everyone's going to jump on me and call me an ethnocentric racist or whatever because I want my culture preserved.
Rant. Blah.
Oh, cool, it stopped raining. I was on the swing outside and that was fun. I don't have any time to exercise, but we do walk a lot.
I think I'm the only one in my dorm who makes her bed in the morning. Just for giggles. You know.
Victoria wrote down her email for me but I didn't bring it with me, and I'd ask her now but I bet she's not on dA. Or even read farther than "I don't know if I could effectively repeal..."
Really pressed for sleep. I'm used to going to bed at 9, not 12:30. And yeah, that sort of seems early to my newfound lateness standards. Everyone was still awake last night at quarter to one and I was listening to my mp3 player (didn't bring the sweet ipod...I miss it dearly). And they were really loud. I bet whatever they were doing was awesomely fun or something, but I was sleeeeeeeepppppyyyy. Apparently they went to bed at 2:30, finally, but I was already asleep. Dude, I get less than 7 hours every night!
Going to lunch, will update later.

Con law isn't punishment lol. I like it. And they don't have rope swings hanging from trees at juvie. Or secret emergency doorways that make an alarm go off when you open them. (It's LOUD) Me and my "friends" were just exploring Silliman and it's pretty cool. Our keys work almost everywhere.
