Writing

I was watching a video of a guy explaining what it takes to become a good writer and his top three suggestions were:
1) Know what you are writing about (your topic)
2:) Spend as long as it takes to write a good sentence.
3) Refer to numbers 1 and 2.

While I agree that 1 is important, I am not so sure about number 2. I have read books and articles written with such precision and nuance as to be intellectually mind numbing or narcolepsy inducing.
The more "intelligent" among us seem to believe that in order to get their point across they must use words learned in college or dug up in some obscure text, when the reality of the situation is the only ones impressed are themselves and others of their same ilk.

I guess I should ask what is a good sentence?

My theory on good writing is:
Just write from the heart and it will strike a chord with the right folks.
If your grammar and spelling are not up to par get someone to help you but don't let them "erase" your voice, which is the way you speak.

Combining American and Mexican Social Security Systems: Totalization
The United States-Mexico Social Security Totalization Agreement was signed in June 2004 and could allow millions of illegal Mexican workers to draw billions of dollars from the U.S. Social Security Trust Fund.http://www.thedustininmansociety.org/issues/totalization.html

  To tell you the truth I never thought about the issue of illegal immigration and the drain to the American financial system. I was under the false impression that most came across the border to do menial labor that most Americans would not do. Then I see where thousands are drawing food stamps and standing in line at the Social Security office to get a S.S. card so they can draw benefits and that opened my eyes. Then I hear about babies being born here that are granted automatic citizenship and realize that those babies are being born to mothers who are or will be on welfare, food stamps, wic, snap and other government programs while the country is over 17 trillion dollars in debt. Not to mention the cost of housing illegal prisoners in jails, prisons, and detention center around the country. The scourge of drugs and related violence caused by illegals who come to this country to deal narcotics and participate in Gang activities is growing every day as more and more young men file across our Southern Borders unabated. This puts more of our citizens at risk than ever before as these gangs move into the suburbs to peddle their poison.

If we would really stop and think about what is going on right under our noses it is a scary proposition and outcome for our kids or in my cases nieces and nephews and their kids.

I heard Senator Rubio say in an interview a few days ago that he sees the problem of "Anchor Babies" first hand in Florida where wealthy foreigners fly in, have a baby who under our current laws is a citizen of the United States, then they fly back to wherever they came from therefore hedging their bets that if something ever happens they can always come to America because their baby is a citizen. How screwed up is a system like this where a kid who has never set a foot in this country or contributed one cent into the system can at their will come back when they are older and reap the rewards of being an American citizen?

If this practice is ever going to stop it needs to be now while we have a man who is willing to take on the tough issues. I am afraid that if Donald Trump is elected and tried to implement some of what he is suggesting he will be killed by some Drug Cartel or a Democrat who will see a large voting block disappearing before their eyes.
