 The Concerns of Mass Deportation

With the re-election of the current president we are facing a dangerous reality. The Trump administration has declared for a mass deportation that will continue to target many immigrants that have already been integrated into our society. This will not only harm innocent families, but also highly affect our economic status due to labor shortages, loss of tax revenue and not to mention other contributing factors such as less small businesses, and a major decrease in consumer spending.  Since the inauguration, we’ve seen an increase of ICE raids in neighborhoods, work places, hospitals and even schools. It is important to understand what the damages of these actions will create. These deportations will make crucial impacts to an individual's life. This will separate families, and create trauma for families and loved ones. Most of these undocumented immigrants at risk, are people who have already been living in the United States for years, that have been working, paying taxes, and have been accustomed to our country and are living the lifestyle like every other American Citizen. 

In light of this current situation, here is how the Portland, Oregon School System is prepping for this nightmare:  The Portland school districts have made a clear statement detailing that all student information will be held private, and that there will be no assistance to ICE. The ‘Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act’ protects the right of any private information of students such as names, address, parents name and class schedule without previous parent consent. This FERPA act also applies to everyday law enforcement officers as well. Furthermore,  ICE will not be welcomed into the school building further than the front office, unless they are present with a court order seeing there are rules and regulations the school does have to follow if it is a judicial order. 

The Trump administration is a threat to our communities that we have built over time. It is crucial to remember, we are all human. Everyone is born to love. If we continue to let the president promote hate speech across our country, what kind of country will the United States be after these next four years?

Understanding Homelessness

-

  Source (American Addiction Centers)      Homelessness has a myriad of different reasons it can happen. The similarity between all scenarios in which a person is experiencing homelessness is that each person is human. A popular belief is that homelessness is a choice. People believe there is a set amount of circumstances that cause homelessness and that it is a choice not to fight to get out of those problems. The problems can range from mental health issues to drug addiction. There is no one size fits all, and it is not a choice.  Over the last few weeks, I have learned that there are many factors that can lead to homelessness. One big one that focuses on our class is how affordable housing, or the lack thereof, is a significant contributor to people not getting back on their feet. If you want to learn more about that subject and if affordable housing can help, click here.   This lack of affordable housing is a big roadblock for those trying to ove...

Air pollution caused by wildfires may increase risk of dementia

  There are already more than 57 million dementia sufferers in the world, and by 2050, that figure is predicted to rise to 153 million. It is estimated that risk factors like exposure to air pollution account for up to 40% of these instances. Even when annual exposure was lower than the current EPA annual threshold of 12 micrograms per cubic meter of air (g/m3), the researchers discovered continuous evidence of a relationship between PM2.5 and dementia. The researchers discovered a 17% increase in risk for dementia for every 2 g/m3 increase in average yearly exposure to PM2.5, specifically among the studies using active case ascertainment. Despite the fact that the data was more sparse, they also discovered evidence supporting links between dementia and nitrogen oxide (5% increase in risk for every 10 g/m3 increase in yearly exposure) and nitrogen dioxide (2% increase in risk for every 10 g/m3 increase in annual exposure). According to a recent University of Michigan study, wildfi...
