Immigration issues

 On the 24th, the US Department of Homeland Security announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had arrested a total of 11 illegal immigrants from Iran across the US over the past few days. US media outlets reported that this was related to heightened concerns that Iranians hiding in the US could carry out terrorist attacks amid escalating tensions following the Trump administration's attack on Iranian nuclear facilities.



 

 McClure, the deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, stated, “We have been working diligently to identify illegal immigrants suspected of terrorism or extremism,” and indicated that enforcement efforts would continue.  

 After reading this article, I felt concerned that there might be prejudice based on race and country of origin, even if it is for the sake of ensuring the safety of the United States.

    Another classmate blogged about an article that touches on a similar issue in Germany. The rise of global xenophobia is really alarming.

The Soaring Price of Rice

イメージ
 　 Recently, we have been seeing a lot of news about the rising price of rice. 　From April to May 2025, the price of rice has continued to soar, with the price per 5 kg of rice exceeding 4,000 yen, having a significant impact on household food costs. 　This is due to a combination of factors, including a decrease in harvest volume caused by abnormal weather conditions, soaring costs of production materials such as fertilizers and pesticides, and an increase in import costs due to the weak yen. 　In addition, the government's release of rice stockpiles and the status of the 20-year harvest are expected to affect prices, but unless structural issues are resolved, it will be difficult to see a significant drop in prices. 　I found this news article to be a reminder that consumers need to be creative in saving money by comparing prices and buying in bulk. https://hikidashi.jp/article/747?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Ceasefire between India and Pakistan

イメージ
  India and Pakistan, which had been exchanging attacks, agreed to a cease-fire on April 10.  However, it was fragile, as the two sides claimed each other's violations immediately afterwards.  No clue has been found to resolve the territorial dispute over Kashmir, the cause of the confrontation, and the spark between India and Pakistan, which are de facto nuclear weapon states, has not disappeared.  This article made me think that if a war were to break out between these two nuclear powers, it would likely start World War III.
