Hello![edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, Shampa R, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Andrew and I am an Online Ambassador for your Women and American Politics class! Our records have you listed as a student in this class.

I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with you on your project this term! Before you get started, you may want to aquaint yourself with Wikipedia.

I'd like to encourage you to read the Wikipedia:United States Education Program's instructions for students. Your class is supported by either Online Ambassadors, or both Online and On-Campus Ambassadors. Our job is to help you become familiar with Wikipedia, and help you as you work on your article this term. If you ever need help, do not hesitate to ask.

To help you get acquainted with Wikipedia, you should have a look at:

A few other things you need to know:

When ever you post on a user's talk page, please remember sign your messages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date, so the other user knows who posted the message, and when.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and should be treated accordingly.

If you ever need my help, you can get in touch with me...

through my Talk Page here on Wikipedia.
by emailing me using this page.
by visiting me in the Live Chat Classroom Channel or Public Help Channel.

When asking for help, please remember...

Tell me that you are a student in Women and American Politics. (I will prioritize responding to students/instructors in classes I'm working with).
Provide me a link to the article you are working on (if you are having trouble with a specific issue).
Provide a detailed question, so that I can provide the best support I can.
If you are posting on my talk page, Always sign your post with ~~~~. (This is important so that I know who to reply to!)
Sometimes I am busy and unable to reply quickly, but I will reply as soon as possible (usually same day, but check my User page to make sure).

I hope you and your class enjoy editing here and will be Wikipedians long after this term! Remember, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me! AndrewN ^talk 07:33, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your Topic[edit]

Hey! It's great to hear from you, and I'm sorry for my delayed response. I've been rather busy the past week with getting ready for my Fall semester. Anyway, I've had a look over your topic request, and it looks great in my opinion, but I have a couple of concerns/questions/clarifications:

Are you intending to focus on immigration in the US as a whole, or specifically the views/policy suggestions of Governor Bachmann?
What is your personal goal for your project?
Would you prefer working with an existing article, or creating a new one from scratch (depending on your topic, one or the other may not be possible, but let's see).

It looks like your topic selection is due this Friday, so if I don't get back to you quickly, feel free to email me here. AndrewN ^talk 06:26, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Continued from my talk page

It looks like you have a very narrow topic selected. You might want to consider how much content you can develop for that section. Also, remember that you need to stay neutral in your writing. AndrewN ^talk 08:30, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Michele Bachmann's immigration views[edit]

Hi Shampa R. I'm an online ambassador and noticed that you have been working on Rep. Bachmann's immigration views. I saw that you made a small change on her article (Michele Bachmann) and saw your message on the talk page. It looked as if you might have also been trying to create an article at Michele Bachman Immigration View, but I did not see any content there. Was your intention to just add to the immigration section on her article or to create a separate article about her immigration views? Thanks, Gobōnobo ⁺ ^c 05:17, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete DYK nomination[edit]

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Michele Bachmann Immigration View at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; see step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 14:56, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I revised the DYK nomination yesterday. Thanks for letting me know that DYK nomination was incomplete. Shampa R (talk) 03:32, 3 July 2012 (UTC)Shampa[reply]

Immigration: Michele Bachmann does not agree that eleven million undocumented workers, who are currently living in the United States, need to be made legal because that would mean giving them amnesty. She was against the DREAM ACT, which is a conditional permanent residency for illegal immigrants. But she was willing to provide immigrant status to highly-skilled people like chemists and engineers, so that big corporations do not move out of the country. Michele Bachmann said the above in response to Steve Jobs’s reason to move labor out of the country, which was the “price of labor” and “American workers are inflexible.” In response to whether she would support each state enforcing its own immigration law like Arizona since the federal government did not provide proper guidance on the matter, Michele Bachmann said that the federal government not only failed the American people but also failed each state. She found it to be abhorrent that President Obama sued the state of Arizona for its enforcement of strict immigration laws in order to protect the undocumented Arizonian people. She said that was wrong. She said she would “uphold the sovereignty of the United States of America” and to do that she would “build a fence on America’s southern border to every mile, on every yard, on every foot, on every inch of the southern border.” She signed a pledge to push for the construction of the fence along side of the border with Mexico. Other than the fence she would have ample border security to enforce the laws that already exist. She also added that she would not allow any taxpayers’ money to go towards any benefit to the illegal immigrants or their children. Michele Bachmann also suggested that an alleged Iranian plot to launch terrorist attacks in the United States could have involved people crossing the border illegally so "this is not just an economic issue; this is also a national security issue. It's an issue dealing with terrorism." The Governor of Texas, Rick Perry, allows the children of the illegal immigrants to pay “in-state” tuition to educate themselves. Michele Bachmann was very opposed to that since she thought it is similar to President Obama’s DREAM ACT. Bachmann mentioned that these undocumented people are costing the Texas tax payers $25.9 million yearly. She feels the people who have broken laws in this country should not be eligible to get any subsidies of any kind. She said on that point “the immigration system worked very well up until the mid-1960s when liberal members of Congress changed the immigration laws.” She said the people who come to this country with a little bit of money in their pocket should have sponsors, so they don’t become the burden to the government if anything happens to them. She also suggested that people who come to this country should learn to speak English, study American history, and know the Constitution. She said all these undocumented immigrants are costing the US more than $100 billion a year. She rejected the notion that treating illegal Hispanic immigrants this way can be construed as anti-Hispanic. Bachmann said what she heard from the voters of Iowa is that they were not willing to pay for other people. Shampa R (talk) 02:29, 4 July 2012 (UTC)Shampa[reply]

Peer Review[edit]

Hi Shampa:

Thank you so much for peer reviewing my final draft. I will keep you notations in mind on my final paper. I know it was a bit fuzzy in terms of flow and order, but am hoping to add more contents to it when the paper is progressing.

If you need assistance on peer reviewing your paper, let me know. I know you have partnered with another classmate on the peer review, but I am here if you need help.

Thanks again!

Hi Shampa:

I peer reviewed your article and my recommendations are as follow:

Immigration policy - Add a hyperlink on "Dream Act" Commbine sentences " She voted..." and "She has..."

Same sex-marriage....- both a federal and a state or you may use both federal or state

Pro-life position - Can you expand on "The bill die in committee"? I am not sure what it means.

Federal home loans - Watch for the tenses on the 1st sentence...as it should be all past tense since it happenened in 2008. Last sentence - use periods before parenthesis

Your article and structure are coherent, but perhaps they could be more interesting if you expand them or provide more details. Overall, I find your article good. Hope this helps. Careymur (talk) 13:03, 6 July 2012 (UTC) [reply]

Revised Michele Bachmann’s Immigration Views: Michele Bachmann does not agree that eleven million undocumented workers, who are currently living in the United States, need to be made legal because that would mean giving them amnesty. She was against the DREAM Act [1], which is a conditional permanent residency for illegal immigrants. But she was willing to provide immigrant status to highly-skilled people like chemists and engineers, so that big corporations do not move out of the country. Michele Bachmann said the above in response to Steve Jobs’s reason for moving labor out of the country, which were that “price of labor was too high” and “American workers are inflexible.” In response to whether she would support each state enforcing its own immigration law, like Arizona, Michele Bachmann said that the “federal government not only failed the American people but also failed each state.” She found it to be abhorrent that President Obama sued the state of Arizona for its enforcement of strict immigration laws in order to protect the undocumented Arizonian people.

Other than the fence she would have ample border security to enforce the laws that already exist. She also added that she would not allow any taxpayers’ money to go towards any benefit to illegal immigrants or their children. Michele Bachmann also suggested that an alleged Iranian plot to launch terrorist attacks in the United States could have involved people crossing the border illegally so "this is not just an economic issue; this is also a national security issue.
