Mass Hysteria or Factual?

Throughout American history, Presidents, officeholders, and even the media have used extensive amounts of hyperbole to influence civilian opinions and actions. In one instance, written by Michael Brown on a conservative skewed blog shows that he understands the dangers of climate change, but is it actually as bad as Beto O'Rourke claims it is? The Texas Senate nominee clearly states in the editorial "We have no more than 12 years to take incredibly bold action on this crisis..." Brown is not convinced by this due to the fact that Trump and many other officials in high position tend to use this rhetoric scare tactic in order to boost their campaign. Michael claims that the apocalyptic sense that the world will end in upcoming years is false, he does acknowledge the matter as a rapidly growing phenomenon, but it is not at the magnitude at which Beto or Trump are portraying it as. Studies show that icebergs are beginning to break and a process called "calving", which is when large amounts of solid water become liquid and are poured into the ocean, creating massive amounts of water overflow. Potential dangers will soon seek us and we will have to provide solutions, but the overreacting of politicians and their preposterous opinions do have an effect on the nation. 

Border Crisis or Overacting?

In an editorial "The crisis at the border" written by Republican incumbent Roger Williams stands to show that he will and will do anything in support of President Trump and his extreme actions regarding border security. Make no mistake, Williams stated in his opinion forum that "I will always support Trump using any and all means necessary to secure the border." To me, I believe it is not that serious of a situation. Trump has embedded the idea into his fellow colleagues and millions of Americans that support his MAGA movement, that because of these criminals and delinquents who cross the border bring with them "chaos and destruction" they should not be allowed in. In my opinion, building a wall is unnecessary. Trump declaring a national emergency earlier in the year was unconstitutional in my point of view. Abusing his position of power, to nevertheless leave families that depend on every paycheck to survive and making government workers work with no pay. He is a clown, nothing more than a person that is feeding false information to the media about the severity of this situation. In Texas, I know for a fact that the majority does not face these types of problems, where minority groups and immigrants do not come to America to create problems, on the contrary, they run from their problems back home. Coming from a person, that was born and resided in Texas throughout my whole life, crime happens everywhere. Take school shootings as an extreme example, looking at the data, it shows that one of the worse crimes that can happen in America is done not by immigrants but citizens of our nation. Even though that was an extreme dilemma, it still proves the point that crime can happen no matter the race, ethnicity, or even gender. Anybody who supports this movement of building a wall is ignorant, it doesn't solve problems that are already residing in our country. Flint has no clean water, millions are still homeless, the lack of education is still present and we are worried about a wall. There are many more I haven't listed, take the time and actually contemplate if this is the right decision to make as a nation.
