Week 7 EOC: What Legal Issues Concern You Most

‘What legal issues concern me?” Quite an interesting question. I have quite a number of legal concerns about certain issues. One of the first on the least is Immigration Law. Being naturalized citizen of the United States, I am very bitter about this whole situation with the new immigration law being proposed in my neighboring state of Arizona. I personally think it’s ridiculous to chase hardworking residents from a country they’ve been residing for numerous years, due to old age American citizen that don’t even work and are just feeding off social security, complaining about them and fighting for their tax dollars and election fundraising monies to be used to eradicate these immigrants. I can understand the fact that someone could be an illegal, but here should be a better solution to getting this person legalized and giving them the same opportunity to exercise their right as a human being and not treated like an intruding wild animal. Many of these working illegal’s are punctual tax payers because of not wanting to be interfered with my uncle sum and the government who spend their money and resources hunting them. This country was built on a raw deal given to the original inhabitant the Indians and therefore should be welcoming to foreigners because I believe it was illegally stolen. I am also concerned with the law on legalizing marijuana. I personally believe this I just going to create confusion with the dos and don’ts once the law is passed. The discussion has been the drug being state legal and federal illegal. Federal always rules over state law. The drug dealers and traffickers are going to infiltrate with the system and corrupt the government officials with drug money to keep drugs illegal and particular jurisdictions or turf that they control with drug distribution. Those are just a few of my concerns for now till next time.

Week 6: Illicit? What Do You Think?

I think we are living in a huge world of counterfeit, illegalities, fakes, corruption and disgustingly no regard for human life. The video I just watched from National Geographic Movie production titled “Illicit: The Dark Trade” is astonishingly surprising with full videotaped evidence these illegalities. In countries like China, where most of the goods sold around the world are produced, there is mass production and resale of these counterfeit goods on a large scale out in the fashion districts in the slums. These illegal productions and sales are fueled by millions of dollars from tourist all over the world from countries like United State, Europe, and continents like Africa. The tourist even has a choice of picking their dream item from a catalogue that was published by the counterfeiters. The pharmaceutical traffickers are taking advantage of the medical business due to the high demand of drugs like Viagra and are mass producing for online companies that don’t even require prescriptions to sale these products to their online customers. There a millions of these multimillion dollar companies on the web that utilize the border of many countries across the world to traffic drugs. These fake drugs, of which some are poisonous, may end up being mixed in with the real effective drugs at international boarders and could be consumed at your neighborhood pharmacy. With the rise of criminal networks across the globe and large dollars amounts of illegal money floating across continents, guns are and raw materials for terrorist acts are on the rise as well. To my surprise, slavery still exists internationally. Human traffickers are being hired being mafia organizations to shipped workers across borders for cheap labor and the solicitation of their counterfeits. Many of these slaves have no choice but to hustle for a plate of food on the table and wiring monies to their families abroad. In conclusion, we are consumers should be ashamed and should play our part to stop these acts. I personally would be afraid of consuming Tylenol from my neighborhood pharmacy.
