As the weather gets colder and colder, the roads get icier. In Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York, temperatures are freezing, and ice covers many roads, making it hard to drive anywhere. Forecasters warn drivers to be cautious of the sleet on the roads so they don’t slip. According to The New York Times, “The snow was expected to transition to freezing rain overnight, creating hazardous, icy conditions, particularly on untreated roads and in higher elevations. The morning commute on Monday could be especially dangerous, with icy roads posing significant challenges for drivers.” The New York Times said that the higher elevated spaces, like Pennsylvania, will get more snow than the lower ones. For example, Pennsylvania is expected to get about 4 inches of snow and sleet. Mike Kistner, a New York forecaster, said the forecast for freezing rain and ice caused the Lower Hudson Valley and parts of New Jersey to be under a winter weather advisory, though the amount of snow shouldn’t be too bad. On Monday morning, the freezing temperatures will probably keep the ice on the road, but once the warmth of the afternoon comes, the roads should be clear of the slush. However, the forecaster did add that bridges might still remain icy even if the main roads are free of ice. Still, people should be careful while driving in case there’s a patch of ice left on the roads. Ms Givner, another forecaster, advises, “Give yourself some extra time in the morning,” Ms. Givner said. “And just slow down. I think that’s always the best way to travel in this weather.” All in all, just be cautious of where you’re driving, no matter if there’s ice on the road or not.

Acts that exclude people from traveling, emigrating, or seeking refuge in the USA have been seen as controversial throughout the history of the republic. This is as most of these act's have been against certain groups of people and end up making it so that the ones who have fled to the USA to secure freedom have to deal with discrimination and strife. This is especially controversial considering the fact that one of the main slogans of the nation was this "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free," written on the statue of liberty, a symbol of american freedom and rights.
