Answer:

1. Ongoing Wars

2.Immigration and Deportation

3. Big surveillance

Explanation:

1. Less than a month after 9/11, U.S. troops invaded Afghanistan in an attempt to dismantle  al-Qaeda — the terrorist group that claimed responsibility for the attacks — and remove the Taliban government harboring it. Our military involvement in Afghanistan, which continues today, has turned into the longest-running war in U.S. history. And although formal U.S. combat operations ended in late 2014,  more than 8,000 U.S. troops are still there to stem the ongoing Taliban insurgency. The LA Times reports that as of August 25, 2014, 749 California service members from every corner of the state had been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

2.  The Immigration and Naturalization Service and the U.S. Customs Service -- both formerly part of the Department of Justice -- were consolidated into the newly formed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The agency has overseen a massive increase in deportations; they have nearly doubled since 9/11. According to the Department of Homeland Security’s Yearbook of Immigration Statistics, there were roughly 200,000 annual deportations a year between 1999 and 2001. While that number dropped slightly in 2002, it began to steadily climb the following year. In the first two years of the Obama Administration (2009 - 2010), deportations hit a record high: nearly 400,000 annually.  About half of those deported during that period were convicted of a criminal offense, although mostly low-level, non-violent crimes.

3. The U.S. intelligence state boomed in the wake of 9/11. The growth resulted in a marked increase in government oversight, primarily through a vast, clandestine network of phone and web surveillance.  The exponential growth of this apparatus -- armed with a $52.6 billion budget in 2013 -- was brought to light when the Washington Post obtained a "black budget" report from Snowden, detailing the bureaucratic and operational landscape of the 16 spy agencies and more than 107,000 employees that now make up the U.S. intelligence community.

Hope this helps!

ASAP<br><br> Why is change and continuity important when studying history
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

This theme is important for showing how the past can affect the present. Although individuals only live a relatively short time, institutions, ideas, and problems can endure for long periods of time, even thousands of years. This is known as continuity. Although continuity is important in the study of history, historians also recognize that society is constantly undergoing change.

Why did the United States want texas ? explain
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The US keeps Texas in the same manner that it wants to retain all of its territories after the Civil War, which essentially fixed the dilemma with states leaving the union once they're in, so Texas is part of the sovereign land of the United States, and we don't throw states out simply because their policies can or may not agree with what's happening at the federal level.
