    The United States of America is a country that was built within the principles of Christianity. John Winthrop, author of a “Model of Christian Charity,” relates society with the body of Christ, and he states that “the ligaments of this body which knit together are love.” Although this country started off with good intentions, America does not follow John Winthrop’s principles of a charitable society anymore because the ligament, love, that is supposed to hold society together has deteriorated because of discrimination toward foreigners and other minorities. This country is considered a “melting pot” for the diversity of races and culture that it holds; however, foreigners have had a really hard time becoming part of the United States. Events like the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Immigration Act of 1924, and even what is happening nowadays with President Trump are some of the difficulties that foreigners have lived these past years.…
