Answer: Students had a choice between two writing prompts for this contest on immigration policies at the border and in the “Constitution-free zone,” a 100-mile perimeter from land and sea borders where U.S. Border Patrol can search any vehicle, bus, or vessel without a warrant.

Washington has a entwined history with the sport of baseball. From President William Taft to President Barack Obama, every president since William Taft - exept Jimmy Carter - has thrown at least one ceremonial pitch while in office. A lot of presidents have had a history in the sport of baseball. And some of them could have made a career out of it.
President Warren Harding, for example, owned a baseball team in Ohio. Dwight Eisenhower used to play on a junior baseball team at West Point. Even so, Washington did not have a baseball team for almost 3 decades, from 1971, till when the Nationals came in 2005. George W.

It's safe to say that a mirror can be a symbol of physical and spiritual reflection. Hope this helps.
