Rahami born in Afghanistan and came to the United States in 1995 and became a citizen in 2011 is charged with five counts of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer after the shootout with police in Linden, New Jersey, and his multiple bombings in both New York and New Jersey . He is also charged with second-degree unlawful possession of a weapon and second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. Rahami is going to be charged in federal court with counts of, use of weapons of mass destruction, bombing a public place, destruction of property and use of a destructive device. Investigators also believe that Rahami didn't do it all by himself and are searching for any accomplices. This relates to AP Gov because one of the responsibilities of the federal government is to protect us from invasion even though this situation isn't an invasion imagine what could happen if one were to happen.
The biggest impact this event would have on America is that it would effect the citizens of the united states. Citizens would feel as if there not safe anymore and with the war on terror going on their not wrong to feel that way at all. For example the attack in Paris showed people all over the world the ability of ISIS and it made them realize that it could happen anywhere. As a result to this incident the U.S government would need to find a way tighten security. The only problem with that is that if they were to do so would the people of the united states of America have to give up certain liberties. Would the government then go and invade our privacy to monitor any suspicious activity. Personal I think in this type of situation to ensure the protection of the people without taking away to many liberties is necessary in this matter.

So should the government keep a careful eye on all the immigrants that entered the country in the past? If they do that then that would make it look like the U.S. does not trust anyone. So if the U.S. doesn't trust you would you feel safe?

ReplyDeleteI agree with you. The government has to make a big decision on how to handle this issue. I personally think that in order for the citizens to truly have the best safety there are some liberties that are going to be taken away and I rather have a little less liberties than be at risk for terror attacks. The question at this point is what/how much are the American people willing to give up in terms of liberties.
ReplyDeleteWhile I do agree with the fact that the government should be taking more precautions to keep the people safe, I also feel as though this would be a very difficult thing to do. America is supposed to be the land of the free and preventing immigrant entry to America would destroy the sense of the American dream that many people in other countries have. Do you feel like Donald Trump is right in saying that there should be some kind of wall or not?
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statements but one thing i am stumped about is tightening the security. I feel like that wouldn't work because the security is already difficult as it is and people are still able to come over and do their terrorist acts.
