African immigration to the United States

The United States of America is known for almost about everything. From military power to having the democracy that other countries still strive for, it’s a country where people could do what they are passionate for, and be what they want to be in their lives. Different races come to the United States with the belief that there’s a good future ahead of their own families rather than staying in their country, wherein they probably don’t receive much aid from the government, or there’s no job…

of this article is to investigate the “salmon-bias effect” for older immigrants, which suggests that Mexicans in the U.S. return to Mexico due to poor health, as an explanation for the “Hispanic health paradox,” that is, Latinos/Latinas in the United States are healthier than their socioeconomic status suggest they would be, and non-Hispanic Whites. Three proposed explanations have arisen for the Hispanic health paradox; data artifacts which reduce the validity of mortality rates, cussed from…

During the chaos of their perilous journey to America, compounded by the discrimination and dehumanization faced upon arriving at Angel Island, the wives of Chinese immigrants more often than not became a memory of the world these men were leaving behind. American policymakers dictated, “In 1884, a California court interpreted the 1882 Exclusion Act to mean that Chinese immigrants could not send for their wives. As a result, families were separated for years, or even decades.” (AAIJ). This law…

citizens in the United States. It is incredible how Donald Trump was able to win the election, after everyone thought he was just fooling around. He has caught so much attention to the media, which has helped him increase more supporters. Nonetheless, half of the United States remains unsatisfied with the results for not many people went to vote and acted wisely.

November 9th 2016 was a mournful day for the majority of the people that I know, including myself. I believe that Michelle Agins analysis may have been accurate only in alignment with the sample that she has chosen. When first listening to this article I was astonished at the fact that those who “persevere” as opposed to the “coddled” were less affected. Her article may have said one thing but the looks of my Facebook account, and the depressing look I watched in my morning commute to work said…

They often complain that the government is spending the taxpayer’s money by catering to the needs of illegal…

doing about it? What happened after the 1830’s? Did the economy get better or worse? How were the African Americans treated in the late 19th century in Baltimore? Was domestic service still a common aspect of women’s jobs? These questions are left unanswered in “Scraping…

some kind of safety equipment/training on how to properly handle them without needing to fear they might get fired just for asking. Along with the fact that Pellow and Park point out that some of the companies’ practices allowed went against the United States basic safety regulations that were put in place. Though I do agree with the article, I did find a possible flaw in their argument. One example that was brought up multiple times was the solder. Yes, a lot of solder that is used is lead…
