The case I am talking about today is Judulang v. Holder. In this case the United Stats wants to remove a lawful permanent resident who has lived here since 1974, because he was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in 1989. The main thing they reference is the former section 212© of the Immigration and Nationality Act 8, which allows a noncitizen to come into the country even with a criminal conviction. But ever since a case called Francis v. INS made section 212© able to be used for lawful permanent residents and non citizens trying to get into the country. But when congress felt that they needed change, in 1996 they repealed section 212© but made it so that anyone who would've been able to get it at the time can still use section 212© to their advantage. Since Judulang was convicted in 1989 and he met the requirement for section 212©.  For some reason the immigration denied the wavier and told Judulang he had to leave the country. The board of Immigration and the ninth circuit(which also handles immigration) agreed with the board of immigration. This could mean anybody in Judulangs' situation would not be eligible from removal when convicted.

The constitutional question that comes into play here is one that it seems like a lot of people in the court and outside of the court are confused about and that is the tenth amendment. The tenth amendment is the amendment that so closely deals with immigration but when I researched more the constitution never discusses immigration it brings in the concept of immigration. Also to clarify the tenth says that this would be a state problem to deal with so I don't entirely know why this case is being challenged on the grounds of the constitution.

The main argument that Judulang had was that before the ruling by the BIA in 2005 in Matter of Blake and Matter of Brieva-Perez, he or any lawful permanent resident could apply for relief for any conviction even one such as voluntary manslaughter. He tried to get the law rationally reviewed under the Equal Protection clause but could not. He also says that when they ruled and change their practices it was contradictory and represents a retroactive change in the law.

The only real arguments that the U.S. made in this case were that section 212© relief is only available when there is a similarity between the reason they are being deported and the reason they are being removed. They also tried to invalidate his case against the board showing a change in law and that it should be reviewed.

I am almost sure that this case will go in favor Judulang because the U.S. has minimal success in convincing the supreme court justices of anything and also the supreme justices seem to ask questions that seem look in favor of Judulang.

“Creon’s ideas may go against the ethics of the society. It may even go against some of the bases in our religion. The simple fact it that Creon is king and has the right idea about how kingdom should be run.” – Rich Man

 

“Creon has taken it upon himself to go against the gods those who’s power and authority surpass his own. Showing such an act of dishonor to the gods will bring about their wrath on the city.” – Peasant

​The words Tú and Ud mean the same thing; "and you". The difference between them is one is for a formal situation and the other for an informal situation. 
Tú= informal (eee-to)
Ud= formal (oo-sted)
These terms are used for the fowling phrases and more;
¿Cómo estás tú?
¿Cómo está ud?
¿Cómo te llamas tú?
¿Cómo se llama ud?
¿De dónde eres tú?
¿De dónde es ud?

In order to ask and tell the weather you have to know the basics. 
The way you ask the wether is:  ¿Qué tiempo hace hoy?
(kay- tee-im-po-acce-hoy)

These could be the fowling responses
Before you say any of the responses you say hace

(Mucho) Frio 0°

(Mucho) Calor 100°

Fresco 50°

(Muy) Buen tiempo :)

(Muy) Mal tiempo :(

(Mucho) Sol ☼

(Mucho) Viento ☄

Está Nublado ☁

Half-Past Learning In Spanish!

 

Telling time is an important part of life, if you go to Peru, or any other Spanish speaking country and say “What time is it” they will look at you like you have 3 heads. You need to say;

 

·      ¿Qué hora es? à ((Ke - Orra – ssss)) this means What time is it.

·      The appropriate response would be Son Las à It is followed my the time.

 

Son las dos Son las tres Son las cuatro Son las cinco Son las sies Son las siete Son las ocho Son las nueve Son las diez Son las once

It is 2 o’clock It it 3 o’clock It is 4 o’clock It is 5 o’clock It is 6 o’clock It is 7 o’clock It is 8 o’clock It is 9 o’clock It is 10 o’clock It is 11 o’clock

 

When it is 12 o’clock we don’t say Son las doce, even thought that IS an option. A lot of Spanish speaking people just use medianoché or medîodia. Medianoché for 12AM and medîodia for 12AM.

 

Media Cuarto menos

Half an hour A quarter minus

 

When you see any of the previous ^^^ in a time telling sentence like the following:
Son las media ocho. It means à It is 8 thirty

Son las nueve menos cuarto à It is minus 15 of nine. Meaning is 8:45.

If you see cuarto in a time telling sentence WITHOUT menos in front of it that just means its 15 minutes after ___Blank___

Ex: Son las cuatro y cuarto à It is 4:15

NOTE: how 4 is CUATRO and a quarter is CUARTO ..do not confuse to two!

Asking and telling time

Tired of always saying the months in english, only to get corrected by Señorita Manuel or your Spanish speaking friends?  Well I was too until i created a chart to better understand the names of the months. So create a chart, sing a little song, or make some flash cards on quizlet.  Whatever floats your boat will help you get better.

REMEMBER THEIR ARE NO CAPITALS IN SAYING THE SPANISH MONTH NAME. THAT IS ONLY FOR ENGLISH SILLY GOOSE!

watch our little video for our special song to memorize because we were studying!

I write because I am told to
I write because I like to pass my classes
I write because I am graded on it
I don't write to express my feelings or to feel better
I write to ensure my high school success
I write to ensure my diploma
I write to be sure that never or ever will I have to say I received an F
Or a D
Or even a B
I write because I am told to
Not for freedom or expression
I write because I am told to

In order to make plans, you must know the days of the week! 

You might have noticed that Monday is listed first in the list. This is because in Español, lunes, or Monday, is the first day of the week. Another surprising fact you might have noticed is that the letters are not capitalized. In Español, you do not capitalize the days of the week. 

In order to know how to get someone’s phone number - or give yours - you need to know the numbers first!

Now that you know the numbers, it’s time to lean the question. 

There are a few ways to ask for someone’s phone number.

One is: ¿Cuál es tu número de teléfono? 

This should be used amongst friends and peers. 

To ask someone with higher authority than yourself their phone number, you should change the “tu”, to “su”. So it is now “¿Cuál es tu número de teléfono?”

If someone asks you your number, you should respond with “Mi teléfono es...” or “Es el...”

​We write to soothe our souls
To express the deep feelings we withhold from the world, letting our feelings come alive
Writing is like a canvas, a work of art
Our piece jumps through the paper, it flows like a tidal wave
There is no judgement here
Self expression non- the less is one of the few ways to persevere
To know you can find a way to escape from the world
Letting all the hate, remorse, and happiness portray your feelings as if it were coming to the surface of a shore

We write to feel what we are scared to feel

Whether it is flunking a test, loosing a loved one or having a broken heart

We write to show what we have deep feelings about

It can simply be falling in love, to winning that race, or accomplishing something that your proud of

We write to get away... Get away from the world we know and have a moment of peace

To have that moment where the world can be hectic, but define things as you personally see them
