However, research shows that ending the bracero program did not result in higher wages and more work for Americans; instead, American workers were replaced by machines (Maligned Braceros, 2017). In a time when immigration is a contentious topic, "Maligned Braceros" provides readers with a thought-provoking example of past immigration policies and their implications, prompting consideration of the economic reasoning for immigration and contemplation of which immigration policies are most effective.…

Wretched Catullus, Leave off Playing the Fool The first poem we will be analyzing is, “Wretched Catullus, Leave of Playing the Fool”, which tells of Catullus doomed fate with Clodia as he tries to convince himself that Clodia has only damaging effects to him in the three stanza poem.…
