diverse populations

The United States of America has a pretty diverse population. For example, I, myself, am from India, but I was born here in Austin. Every day many immigrants enter the U.S. from many different countries. They settle in the country, and when more and more people come, the population becomes more diverse. The U.S. promotes the idea of immigration. First, when immigrants come to the U.S., they are accepted and all they have to do is take the citizenship test. Some people ,though,do not support the idea of immigration. However, it is up to the country to decide whet er or not immigrants can come in.

Favorite places in the U.S.

The one place I would like to live in is here in Austin, Texas. The city is fantastic, and it is my favorite place in the U.S. This is because it looks great where I live, and the weather is nice. Going to UT football and basketball games in Austin is very fun, because it is a very exhilarating atmosphere. There are also other nice cities like Boise, Idaho. I have relatives there and the city itself is really calm and nice where they live. Bogus Basin is a very populra ski area there and it is fun to ski in that area. Even though there are many more nice areas, Austin is my favorite.

terrorist attacks in the United States

In the United States, there have been a few terrorist attacks. The most recent major one occured on September 11, 2001. Four planes were hijacked and three crashed into heavily populated buildings. That day many people were affected. The motives of the terrorists are probably to set the world right as they view it. Todaay, we as a nation have come great lenghts to prevent these attacks. One way is heavy security at airports. Hopefully there will not be terrorist attacks in the future

Anderson

My school is Anderson high school. It is located in Austin Texas. It is not the biggest school I have seen, but it is pretty big. There are many people there. There are also many different clubs like math clubs and language clubs. The school has many unique things from its students, to the teachers. Anderson is the first public school I have ever been to. I would also have to say that I really like the school.

Illegal Immigrants

In the United States, illegal immigrants come into the country mainly by crossing the border between our country and Mexico. Here in Texas, there are many immigrants because Texas borders Mexico. The immigrants come to the U.S. because it is the "land of opportunity." Here they are able to have a much better job and life. Our country, however deals with this by having border patrol along the U.S.-Mexico border. They also check legal documents and export people who have already come to the United States. I do not mind immigrants coming in. This is because they take jobs and help out people who own businesses.
