I. I think a policy that needs to be changed here on campus are the meal plans. We as students buy these meal plans so that we can use it, yet the school puts a limit on how many we can use at each meal. I think if a student has 14 meals they should be able to use those 14 meals whenever they want to. I would assume the reason why the school limits the meal plan to one swipe a meal would be so that people don't use it all up in just a few meals. The problem with this is that if someone eats lunch really early before a class they can not get another meal later in the day until it was considered dinner time.

II. The four perspectives of my exploratory issue were:

1. Illegal immigrants need to be sent back to their countries and our borders need to be sealed.
2. There need to be harsher laws outlawing these illegal immigrants from being hired which will deter them from wanting to come into our country
3. There is not a problem and the illegal aliens are just trying to better themselves like the pilgrims wanted when they started our country.
4. People don't care and will trust the government to do whatever the best thing is for our country

I would say number 3 is the perspective that is based on the current state of things because we believe that we are giving these people an opportunity that they would not necessarily have if they were back in their home country. based on our economic condition of our country i believe number 2 or number 1 should be our country's perspective. because of the economic state we need the jobs that they have for our own people who can not find jobs. Also we can not afford to pay for them through our taxes. These can be enforced as policy by simply passing laws that would hurt companies hiring these illegal immigrants. For example a law that would increase the companies taxes may deter the company from wanting to hire this cheap labor.
