The True “Builders” of America -- The Workers
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page
report discusses the ways in which the United States was “built”
in terms of the industrial age and the advancement of virtually
all aspects of American society. By the time the United States
entered the 20th century, the republic had existed for more than
a century, been torn apart by the Civil War, and had entered the
Industrial Age. The glory of the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, and
Duponts (and their ilk), was due to the workers of America that
were truly responsible for having “built” the nation.

The U.S. Agricultural Crisis and Illegal
Immigration
[ send me this paper ]
The current crisis in United States politics concerning agriculture and the illegal alien question is just that, a crisis. To some, the crisis foreshadows the demise of the U.S. through the third-worlding of its workforce. To others, the opposite appears to be true. Without an immigration workforce, they say, the world’s largest agricultural community shuts down because Americans won’t work agricultural jobs. There are still others, once illegal immigrants themselves, who say the borders should be closed because there are already too many migrant workers for the available agricultural positions. Still others believe migrants are responsible for their unemployment (Huspek, 2001, 51). The final contingent states that the immigration laws are not being enforced and that America’s open borders are the major problem in terms of infrastructure.
All arguments may carry some validity, but the final argument creates the crisis. jvIlAlie.rtf
