City, UNT lock horns over power BY TIM MONZINGO Senior Staff Writer

“Notice to defendant: You have been sued.” Those are the words at the top of a civil citation delivered to UNT in February 2008. Since then, UNT and Denton Municipal Electric have been squabbling over whether the university owes more than $1 million in unpaid electric bills. The latest set of oral arguments in the case was heard by the 2nd Court of Appeals in Fort Worth on Oct. 6, and both parties await a decision. A date has yet to be set for further litigation. UNT says Denton Municipal Electric is required to give the university a 20 percent discount approved by the Texas Legislature in 1995. “It is our position that this lawsuit is simply a matter of statutory interpretation,” said Nancy Footer, UNT’s vice chancellor and general counsel. Footer said the university appealed an earlier judgment that awarded the utility company $111,988, with an additional $1,071,245 held by the court pending the suit’s outcome. Kelley Reese, the university’s relations and communication director, said UNT’s representation would not discuss the case further because it is an ongoing case. UNT’s argument is that the 1999 bill, known as the Texas Utility Restructuring Act, allowed utility companies to change the rates of their services but maintained the mandated discount, according to documents filed with the court.

Not so, said Michael Whitten, who represents the city’s interests in the suit. The city argues that the 1999 legislation gave it the option to discount electrical services, but no longer required the company to do so. The case comes down to the interpretation of an already confusingly worded piece of legislation, Whitten said. If the university prevails after the appeal, the $1,071,245.49 currently in escrow, meaning the court holds it until a decision is reached, will be returned, according to the court documents. If Denton Municipal Electric prevails, the money will be awarded to the company, along with a 9.25 percent interest charge “on each installment withheld beginning on the 31st day following the date the installment was originally due, until paid,” according to files received from the court. Sara Penn, a fashion design sophomore, said if the university loses, students would end up paying for it. “We pay for it one way or another, whether it’s through our state taxes or our tuition,” she said. That, she said, is unfair. “It’s not our fault it didn’t get taken care of,” she said. “We pay enough, I think.” The university and the city agreed that legal fees will be paid by the losing party, a sum of $35,000 if the case is not taken to the Texas Supreme Court. An additional $10,500 is incurred if the case is appealed to the Supreme Court, according to the case documents.

Soccer team wins sixth straight BY SEAN GORMAN Winning its fifth and sixth straight games, the UNT soccer team continued to play well at home, defeating Florida International 2-1 and dominating Florida Atlantic 5-0 this weekend. The sweep guarantees the Mean Green (11-5-1, 6-2-0) its 16th straight winning season and placed UNT in a three-way tie for second place in the Sun Belt Conference. “Friday’s game was huge because they were ranked eighth in the region and we knew they’d come after us with their best effort,” head coach John Hedlund said. Friday

Honoring goalkeeper Mandy Hall and forward Dani Watson on senior night, the Mean Green picked up a critical win over then second-ranked FIU (8-7-1, 5-3-0). Mistakes hurt UNT early, as FIU’s Mayara Bordin scored on a penalty kick in the 17th minute to give her team the lead. Freshman midfielder Kelsey Hodges responded less than four minutes later, scoring her team-leading eighth goal of the season off an assist from sophomore forward Michelle Young. “Practice and making the extra effort to improve my game has helped me a lot,” Young said. “Whenever I put more

time into my game during the week I play my best.” The scored remained tied at one until Young made another play in the 76th minute, taking a long pass from sophomore midfielder Ellen Scarfone to score the game-winning goal. UNT kept the pressure on the Golden Panthers all night, outshooting them 16-8. Sunday The Mean Green notched its most one-sided Sun Belt victory in three years in a win over the Owls (3-5-0, 4-11-0). Hodges added her second goal of the weekend to give UNT the lead in the 10th minute after she intercepted a bad pass from the goalkeeper. A minute later, freshman

midf ielder Loreli Ra msey notched her first career goal. Young then stopped an attempted clearing by the Owls goalkeeper, gained possession and scored on an empty net. “I’m more comfortable with the physical part of the game,” Young said. “That alone has gotten me a couple goals.” Watson got in on the action in the 29th minute, drilling a blast from outside the box into the left corner of the goal. Hall didn’t allow any goals outside t he pena lt y shot, lowering her goals against average to 0.69. The Mean Green travels to face t he Universit y of Arkansas-Little Rock at 7 p.m. Thursday.

UNT was invited to Dallas to take part in the segment by WFAA co-anchor Cynthia Izaguirre, an alumna of the university. Izaguirre contacted Mona Hicks, the dean of students, to set up the interview. Hicks then sent out a notification of the event to all students through EagleConnect to get them involved. In the end, about

60 members of the UNT community were taken to Dallas on a charter bus paid for by the division of student affairs, Hicks said. This is not the first time WFAA has given UNT time on the air. The station has covered UNT Homecoming before, and, Hicks said, Izaguirre came to Denton earlier this year to report on the

energy-saving exercise machines installed in the Pohl Recreation Center. Hicks said the morning trip to Dallas gave students the chance to show their support for UNT and take part in a distinctive experience. During the segment, SGA President Kevin Sanders was interviewed. Sanders was asked

what are the things that make UNT what it is. “It’s the students,” he said. Sanders said it was an honor to be able to represent the university to the Dallas-Fort Worth community. “We love our university and we’re not ashamed to tell people we love our university,” Sanders said.

Students display spirit on regional morning news show BY ISAAC WRIGHT Staff Writer

A s a prelude to t he Homecoming festivities, UNT students appeared on WFAA Channel 8 Daybreak on Friday to show off their school pride for the Dallas area to see. At 5:45 a.m., UNT students took part in one hour of WFAA’s morning newscast. Cheerleaders,

dancers, the executive branch of the Student Government Association and the school mascot, Scrappy, participated. “I don’t want to wake up that early again for a while, but it was a lot of fun,” said Kellie Hill, SGA director of campus involvement. “It was still dark outside, but there was definitely a sense of unity and students getting really excited.”

vice presidents of different departments and myself as student body president just to see exactly how students are feeling,” said Student G over n ment A ssociat ion President Kevin Sanders. Issues t hat have been discussed in past forums include smoking policies, parking and the progression as UNT moves toward being a Tier One university, according to the UNT website. Discussion topics range from small things, like dorm food, to big issues, like how enrollment is being handled by the administration, Sanders said. “We need to know those kinds of things,” Sanders said. “In the end, what the students can take from it is that their leadership actually does care and that they do have a voice within the university because we’re not going to take anything lightly.”

Four-game win streak keeps volleyball on top BY L AURA ZAMORA Sports Editor

Another sweep of the Su n Belt Con ference’s Louisiana teams marked the UNT volleyball team’s fourth-straight win over the weekend, extending its West-division lead to three games. The Mean Green (15-9, 7-2) found its second pair of w ins over LouisianaLafayette (12-10, 3-4) and Louisiana-Monroe (0-16, 0-7) this season, defeating ULL in f ive sets before sweeping ULM in three in Lafayette and Monroe, La. “We played our best game against Lafayette,” head coach Ken Murczek said. “I couldn’t believe how crisp we were. Our serving was great, we were really clean and the challenge now is to do it all over again.” The victories lifted the team’s “W” column to 15 for just the fifth time in the last 22 years.

Mean Green shut down early by Golden Panthers BY BEN BABY

Senior Staff Writer During halftime of Saturday’s game against the Florida International Golden Panthers, fireworks boomed over Fouts Field, entertaining the fans who were scattered throughout the bleachers. However, the only dazzling on-field display was provided by the Golden Panthers, who dismantled the Mean Green 34-10 on Homecoming night. “We felt they were a very sound and solid defensive football team,” head coach Todd Dodge said. “They were very athletic in their front seven, and we just couldn’t keep them blocked, couldn’t get anything going.” Saturday’s match-up pitted the two best defenses in the Sun Belt Conference against each other, but only the Golden Panthers (2-4, 2-0) shut down the opposing offense. UNT (1-6, 1-2) picked up a miserable two yards in the entire first quarter. FIU shredded the Mean Green defense, scoring on its first three possessions. UNT’s defense came in allowing 357.7 yards per game, but the Golden Panthers were able to rack up 479 total yards. “FIU came out with a good scheme, and they spread us out,” senior linebacker Craig Robertson said. “We were able to work the kinks out. It just took a little too long.” Ever y facet of the Mean

Green offense struggled against the best defense in the conference. Junior quarterback Chase Baine couldn’t find any rhythm in his second collegiate start, completing 13 of 28 passes for 142 yards. Baine didn’t get much time to survey the field as he was sacked four times by an aggressive defensive line. “They just came out and loaded the box on us,” Baine sa id. “We didn’t respond. That’s pretty much all there is to it.” Junior running back Lance Dunbar struggled significantly against FIU, mustering 30 yards on 11 carries, his lowest total since taking over as starter in 2009. His previous low was against Army, when he ran for 42 yards in a 24-0 loss to the Black Knights. For the second time this season, Dunbar was not the leading rusher. That honor went to Robertson, who led the Mean Green in rushing yards and tackles. Robertson had 12 tackles to go along with his 64-yard rush. His days as running back at Stafford High School paid off late in the fourth quarter, when Robertson took a fake punt all the way to the FIU 9-yard line. “I knew it was going to open up because they had been running the same punt the whole game,” Robertson said. “We figured, since we knew what they were doing, we might as well run it.” The Mean Green lost another player to the Green Plague in the loss. Sophomore punter Will

Atterberry suffered a fractured left arm after a late hit by FIU’s Jonathan Faucher. Atterberry left the field on a stretcher, extending an eagle claw into the air as he was carried off. The loss guarantees the Mean Green will not have a winning record for the sixth-straight season. Junior defensive end Brandon Akpunku, who had six tackles and two sacks in the loss, felt like UNT had a fair shot to win conference this season, but injuries have hindered the Mean Green. “We’ve been through it all,” Akpunku said. “Adversity has really worn us thin this year, and we still come out here and we still fight. I had the highest of hopes for this team, and I’m pretty sure everybody else on this team did as well.” UNT will rest during its off week before it hits the road to face the first of its final five opponents, Western Kentucky on Oct. 30. The final four opponents for the Mean Green are Troy, Middle Tennessee, Louisiana-Monroe and Kansas State. Following the game, Dodge answered questions about his tenure as head coach of the team, something that there has been speculation about since the end of his first season in 2006. “It’s not my decision,” Dodge said. “I know when the season started they handed all of us a 12-game schedule, and that’s what we all plan on doing, is fighting through all 12 of them.”

Shoe art revenue helps student answer calling BY ALEXA CHAN

Contributing Writer A pair of shoes usually means clean feet for a day, but a pair of shoes can mean the chance for UNT’s Baptist Student Ministry to build relationships and share the gospel all over the world. Carli Torti, a drawing and painting sophomore, decorates shoes for BSM’s GO NOW Missions. She charges $25 when she provides the shoes and $15 when the student provides their own. All money raised goes to GO NOW missions, helping to send UNT students all over the world to share their faith and help those in need. “We want to get involved, but we don’t,” Torti said. “This is a great opportunity to share the gospel. It’s something so small in a way, but could be so huge.” GO NOW Missions is a 64-year-old student missions program that financially helps Texas university students serve as missionaries all over the world. There are about 350 students from Texas each year who participate in multiple mission projects through GO NOW missions. All of the money raised allows for students to go where they are called and pay half the cost, said Stephanie Gates, director of the BSM. “It’s very important for students to experience other cultures,”

Gates said. “You can’t live in another culture without falling in love with it. We have a desire to share Jesus with students around the world.” This is the second year Torti has been decorating shoes. Last year, she raised about $60, and this year she hopes to raise even more. “I’ve always liked drawing on shoes,” she said. “Everyone wants cool shoes.” Language education sophomore Alyssa Meegan requested a drawing of a Bible verse on her shoes last semester. “It’s all about sending people to help share who God is,” Meegan said. “It’s not about the shoes. Everything is about God.” The Baptist Student Ministry challenges students to come up with ways to spread the gospel, said Chris Newby, a BSM intern . “We all have gifts, things we’re good at,” Newby said. “We want them to use those in ways that glorify God. It’s a way to relate to people.” Students who are interested can sign up at the Baptist Student Ministry building at Union Circle. “Ultimately it’s about what God is calling you to do,” Gates said. “This is her calling and other UNT students can help.”

UNT observes Kroo Bay Initiative helps students alcohol awareness make a ‘difference in the lives of others’ BY STEPHANIE ROSS Intern

For an average of $900 per year, students who drink are purchasing themselves a 70 percent chance of having unprotected sex, are 22 percent more likely to fail an exam or essay due to alcohol and may possibly be one of the 159,000 students to drop out next year because of alcohol addiction, according to factsontap.org. UNT, along with other college campuses around the country, is using this week to observe National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week. “We will be providing a lot of opportunities this week for students to learn about alcohol use,” said David Arnold, a health resources coordinator. “The Substance Abuse Resource Center will provide a harm-reduction based curriculum in each of the residence halls, CSRR is staffing tables outside the Union to encourage students to sign a pledge to not drink and drive, and there will be a victim impact panel of drinking and driving titled ‘Just a Few Drinks.’” Every year, every university nationwide participates in some kind of campaign to bring awareness to alcohol and binge drinking, said Katy Comer, the student services coordinator. Arnold said he believes this week is important because alcohol can represent a substantial amount of problems for college students. “More than 1,700 college students die of alcohol poisoning annually, which can be easily prevented by educating everyone on the signs and when to call for help,” Arnold said. “The team putting this program together wants to minimize that risk.” In fact, one person’s drinking habits can affect an average of five other people, Comer said. “Drinking just doesn’t appeal to me,” fashion design freshman Iva Edgerson said. “I don’t know if it’s just a rebellious thing since the majority of my family drinks heavily, but I just don’t have the desire to drink something that has that kind of impact on my life and others.” Edgerson said she believes the alcohol awareness presentations will be good for students. “We are at a time of experimentation,” Edgerson said. “Everyone is now hit with so much freedom to do whatever, that they are going

to get curious and they are going to experiment with different substances. Most students just don’t realize the kind of effect alcohol can have on your life.” Comer said she gets the most satisfaction knowing she’s getting the message across to students. “I want to help deter mistakes that alcohol will lead them to make,” Comer said. “I want students to also know that the Student Center for Rights and Responsibilities aren’t here just for those who committed a violation against the student code of conduct, but we’re here for students as a resource.” If students think they or a friend have a drinking problem, students can have a free, anonymous screening by scheduling an appointment in the Mean Green Screen. “In addition to that screening service, students can schedule an appointment to meet with a professional staff member to have an assessment, receive education or an intervention, or receive a referral to further services,” Arnold said. “Education on alcohol poisoning might not matter to you, but you might be the only student who can save a friend’s life.” For more information, contact the UNT Substance Abuse Resource Center at 940-5652787.

B Y A LEXA CHAN

Contributing Writer UNT students have the opportunity to be a part of history. The Kroo Bay Initiative has partnered w it h UNT, providing the first campusowned nonprofit organization entirely operated by UNT students. Dim in ished forest la nd, slash-and-burn agriculture, and the lingering effects of an 11-year civ il war have claimed the poorest and least humanly developed country in the world, Sierra Leone, said Doug Henry of the anthropology faculty. Amidst the chaos is Kroo Bay, an impoverished community of about 11,000 people, overcome by rebel groups, limited resources, poor nutrition and an overwhelming fight for survival. The purpose of the Kroo Bay Initiative is to use Kroo Bay as a platform through which students can learn about development, gain practical experience, and make a difference in the lives of others. “There are the ‘Yales,’ the ‘Stanfords’ and the ‘Harvards’ and we’re putting UNT on their level,” said Ryan Engen of the international studies program. “My hope is that this

becomes something huge.” The Initiative has been to Kroo Bay four times previously, but this will be the first time with UNT students at the forefront. “It will be one of those experiences that marks them for whatever else they do,” Engen said. “It puts things into perspective. It’s not enough to just have good grades.” T he In it iat ive recent ly elected its president and is looking for UNT students interested in being officers or volunteers. The Initiative plans to send its first class to distribute money in June 2011 and return in December 2011 as a UNT study abroad program. “I think it is so important that this is student run,” said political science and journalism junior Candice Bernd. “Students should have the power to make decisions. We need to learn how to do this on our own.” Created in 2008, the Kroo Bay Initiative wanted to form a solid foundation in the Kroo Bay community that it could build on for future generations. In the same year, the Initiative was awarded a $1,000 grant by the Clinton Global Initiative, providing school supplies to

the local primary school and raw material for the women’s vocational facility, said Erum Shaikh, chairwoman of the Initiative. The Initiative aims to help keep children in schools and prov ide opportunities for women to become entrepreneu r s t h roug h voc ational training. The training includes 150 income-generating activities, such as hair dressing, sewing and experience with the Internet. Women are more likely to generate a better return and can then become a power and voice within the community, said Ryan Schuette, an original co-founder of the Initiative. “The real bottom line is not our resumes, but whether or not we have made a difference in the lives of others,” Engen said. “Even if you make a slight difference, it’s still a difference.” The Initiative seeks to financially sustain what is already on the ground. The microcredit program will give small loans to the people of Kroo Bay so they can start small businesses, cover family sicknesses and fund schools. The education system is free, but the schools don’t receive enough money and end up unloading

the debt back onto the families, Schuette said. Their goal is to eradicate taxpayer-supported education. Through education, the Initiative hopes to eliminate preventable diseases t hat are widespread throughout the area. Water stagnates in dug-up holes left over from miners, and becomes a Petri dish for disease. There a re a va r iet y of misconceptions about Africa; violent images of fear and devastation versus the exotic images of wildlife and deserts are common misunderstandings of what Africa is, Schuette said. “The reality is that Africa is so much more real,” Henry said. “Africa is occupied by real people with real stories.” The Initiative aims to be a standing organization in the world, leaving a written legacy for the generations to come. “Having lived there for a year, it is a beautiful place w it h be aut i f u l pe ople,” Schuette said. “I’m hoping we can continue the trend we began in the beginning and increase UNT visibility.” For more i n for mat ion, contact Ryan Engen at ryan. engen@unt.edu or visit www. kbinitiative.org.

Denton offers a ‘friendly sport’ in bicycle polo BY A LEXA CHAN

Contributing Writer A slab of concrete decorated with a maze of freshly formed skid marks is home turf to a new sport. Where wheel meets wheel and flesh meets earth, students are coming together to play bicycle polo. Instead of riding on a standard 5-foot polo pony, these players are weaving in and out of corners, avoiding collisions and shuff ling a street hockey ball around all while on a bike. Created more than a century ago in Ireland, bicycle polo has evolved into the urban, ha rd-cou r t, tota l contact sport it is today in 16 countries around the world. The sport was brought to Denton in February. “It’s a sport for a nyone a nd ever yone,” sa id Nate Lightfoot, a Denton resident and co-founder of the team. “People of a ll shapes a nd sizes can come and there is no discrimination. We hope everyone feels welcome.” Mallets are made of recycled ski poles, golf clubs and construction piping that can be found alongside the road, said Eric Uphoff, a Denton resident and co-founder. Any kind of bike will work, but some choose to custom design their own to fit their riding style.

Anyone can play for free and equipment and bikes are available for loan. “With bike polo, you can pull something out of the trash and use it,” Lightfoot said. “We have a do-it-yourself attitude.” The goal is simple: get the ball into the net. There are two teams of three players. Each team begins on opposite sides of the court and must race to the ball in the middle at the sound of “Three, two, one, polo!” The game is played first to three; winners stay while the losing team rotates in new players. The t wo round ends of the mallet are used to score while the curved part is used to shuff le.

Bears are known for being big, scar y and hair y, and some might call them beasts.

However, Ha mid Rasul, a communication design junior, relates himself to a bear and has his ow n clothing line named Beast Mode.

“The name has changed a few times, but on my birthday last year, I decided to go with Beast Mode. It’s an art company I made and I make T-shirts,

The Beast Mode team is made up of 10 skaters who are some of Rasul’s close friends and support his line. “I’m really into the skateboarding community because that’s something we have a

passion for,” he said. Keith Annett, a member of the Beast Mode team, has been skating for 10 years and thinks Rasul will go far with his line. “He does his own stuff all on his own, he designs boards, makes different kinds of stencils, design shirts, anything you want he’ll pretty much make it,” Annett said. Everyone on the team is close friends, Rasul said. “T he y ’v e a l w a y s b e en helping me out, so when they go to events or are filming for a video, they wear the Beast Mode shirts,” he said.

line, Rasul is also an aspiring artist. He likes to be creative and designing clothes gives him the opportunity to express his creativity, he said. “I started drawing when I was 9. Even my teachers thought I was talented and I used to think my drawings were so cool when they were just flowers and ladybugs that looked wretched,” Rasul said. Rasul likes to create portraits and proudly displays a huge family portrait in his living room where he spends most of his time. “I decided to put it there because this is where I’m always at doing my thing. They’re a huge inspiration in my life and I know no matter what I do they’ll always support me,” he said. Jennifer Bush, a criminal justice freshman, said she expects him to blow up in the art industry because of his persistence and hard work. “I like the stuff he does with the spray paint. I’ve never seen anyone do that kind of art with just spray paint. It’s something different and futuristic and retro all at the same time,” she said. He wants his company to continue growing in the future, Rasul said. “I just want to do my own stuff in my own terms. I handmake everything, I don’t print or press anything, so I’m just a one-man band,” Rasul said.

Don’t judge a movie by its review

Get out and vote Editorial Run on out to the polls — yesterday marked the beginning of early voting. Got an opinion? Want a change? Well then, participate in the government’s founding principle. Go vote, or become one of the countless people mindlessly ignoring their constitutional right others died for, and not taking any part in the process of government. Every vote counts. These “get out and vote” campaigns may be repetitive, over-used and just flat out irritating. Even MTV launched a campaign to get watchers to vote. Yet, the Editorial Board believes people need to vote so they can have a meaningful voice in their political life. Voting turnout has steadily risen since 1960 in the years of presidential campaigns, yet it has steadily decreased during the off-years. In 2006, only 37 percent showed up to cast their vote, compared to a turnout of 57 percent in 2008. More than likely this is because the off-year elections are campaigns of less glamour and sensationalism, but they are every bit as important. Senators are always up for election and by taking part in voting for the governor, citizens are taking part in politics much closer to home. One exception, the Rick Perry: Bill White gubernatorial battle, has had the press of the 2008 presidential election. This race is a vital election that will affect Texans’ everyday life. Or, have an opinion on the multitude of vital issues in the media like marijuana usage, health care, budget deficit, gay marriage or oil drilling regulations? The only way for an average citizen to have a voice in the government is to go out and vote. Not to mention, voting is the most important medium of the democratic political structure. If citizens don’t vote, the democratic system is weakened. And registering to vote allows citizens to use the constitutional right of free speech. The off-year elections directly influence results, too. There are no electoral colleges in statewide and Senate elections. Each vote is counted and goes toward the final result. One vote could be the difference between a Democratic candidate beating out the Republican and changing the government’s policies completely. Just because these off-year elections aren’t filled with news headlines and drama like the presidential election in 2008, doesn’t mean they aren’t important. There are a ton of reasons to go out and vote, but everyone needs to have his or her own reason to support democracy and show up at the polls. There’s no better time than today.

After a long night of instant streaming off my Netflix queue and escaping the tantalizing readings of my physical anthropology textbook, I ran into a dilemma — I was too tired to start a new movie and stay interested in it before I drifted to sleep. I am glad my life right now revolves around watching movies on the computer. Instead of starting a new movie, I came across the critic and member review section at the bottom of the page. This area serves as a gateway to solving the age-old question of whether a movie is worth two hours of my time or whether it deserves the insulting one star because of the “he said,

she said” that goes on after a release. Yet, poor reviews are a dead giveaway and if I am uninterested in reading a full-length review, a star rating system is provided. I can guarantee you “From Justin to Kelly” or “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” won’t be added to my queue anytime soon. What a shame. While skimming through some reviews of my favorite movies, I found out people in this world actually share the same taste in “great” movies as I do. These people enjoy the same lines, jokes and scenes I quote on a daily basis. However, once I read some

of the popular movie critic reviews, it gave me a completely different story. An Entertainment Weekly critic once said “Little Miss Sunshine” is three stars at best, and Roger Ebert thinks “Tommy Boy” is a riot — in a bad way. But then it hit me. Who cares what high-priced critics say? I enjoy it, and isn’t that all that matters? “Kingpin” helped me understand that bowling may actually be the greatest sport ever. Or if not, having a hook for a hand is not so bad after all. (Eh, maybe a stretch there.) “Heavyweights” caused my

spleen to rupture and provided me with a better understanding of why Tony Perkis is not an ideal father figure, and, also, “Terminator 2” is better than “Terminator 1.” But that’s pretty self-explanatory. Here is a life lesson for everyone: There are too many movie critics, too many worthless opinions and too many meaningless reviews. A movie should be based on whether you like it or not and not by anyone else’s standards.

One of the biggest issues in the news today is immigration. If you pay attention to the headlines, you can’t miss it — it could be either a discussion for or against the current foreign policy, or the latest on the crisis in northern Mexico. The topic is so common that it can’t be ignored no matter how much you try. When people think about the issue, though, they may get the impression that immigration refers to immigrants of Hispanic origin.

Of course, a majority of them are, but people from all over the world come to the United States to live and work. People from Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe emigrate. They come with varied levels of education and income. Because businesses can be so abundant in this country’s capitalistic system, many of them come with entrepreneurial ideas. So, they come to start new businesses, and thus create jobs for Americans of all demographics. Of course, there’s no denying

that one of the biggest concerns for immigration is the crime that it may bring. However, there is no substantial evidence to show that immigration and crime are related. In fact, in places where there has been research done, such as in the cities of Arizona, American citizens contribute more to the crime rate than immigrants do. Honestly, I believe the crime factor is just a fear tactic for politicians to achieve their political goals. I was born and raised in Texas, but my parents came to this country legally to work

for a better life. Being a Latino American, I can’t help but feel strongly for the millions of immigrants who have come to this country for work and a new life. This is just my opinion, but the state and federal governments should do more to accommodate the millions of immigrants coming not just from Latin America, but from all over the world.
