5. Shanie Tomassini:'Slippery Clump' at Umlauf because I enjoy looking at fascinating art styles and the tools they use to make it. HEB Free First Sunday at the bullock Museum also because it is free and involves art and music.
6. They are not being allowed to get their passports renewed because they seem to be questioned whether or not they are factual citizens. Only for the reason that there were several cases of fraud citizenship around the border of Mexico and Texas.
7. Juan was unpleased and frustrated with how things turned out with his passport situation. He had to pay several thousand fees with his low income as a prison guard.
8. Even though they deny their passports it won't always mean that they will deport them back to where they think they're from. Although, their position is very subjective as far as picking valid citizens and claiming that they're immigrants or invalid for a renewed passport.
9. I feel that if you were born here, you should be legal and if the passport is sketchy, then investigate it instead of holding it back months in advance. Also if you're parents were immigrants and brought you here when you were a baby, they shouldn't be able to immigrate you because you most likely don't know the native language or know anybody from there.
