Margret Chen’s book Sewing Women is an in-depth analysis of the modern garment industry in New York. In the first chapter she gives an overview of the history of the industry, from the end of the 19th century to the present, but she spends the bulk of the book discussing the ethnic garment industry of today, characterized by Chinese and Korean factories. Six of the seven chapters we read focused on the differences between these two producers, which I will briefly summarize. Chinese shops are…

The American dream has a wide range of implications to various people. While U.S. conceived nationals have seen the American dream as a simple to achieve objective, workers have stayed positive and thankful about the objectives they have accomplished or going to accomplish. For quite a long time, outsiders around the globe touched base on the shores of the United States with more than their possessions in their grasp. They went to the place that is known for the free scanning for a superior life…

Alyson Hollis Professor Amanda Lloyd English 084 12, August 2016 Let Them Be Free Why can’t citizens just let people from other countries experience the land of the free and home of the brave, like their forefathers?

2016 for Avocados From Mexico titled “Avos in Space.” The premise of the ad is that aliens have taken some of Earth’s most notable objects, and used them in a museum of sorts. Most of these things are misidentified or have undue value placed on them. Finally, at the end of the tour, the aliens participating in the tour reach an avocado tree, a bowl of guacamole, and a bag of tortilla chips, with the tour guide alien proclaiming that the avocados are the “most amazing of all.” This ad serves to…

As for these "space cats", one might wonder how they would keep everything organized with collecting the minslime and transporting it every hour. The aliens keep everything in order by having a prominent and prosperous leader, named Starblazer, who keeps track of everything. She is very different from most of the other aliens because she is puny in size, and she lacks the spiny spikes and solid shell that most of these creatures have. Also, instead of being gray in color with a rock-like…

The book had definitely made me realize what influences Asian American identity and experiences. The idea that one’s experiences and circumstances shapes one’s identity is not typically acknowledged on a regular basis but it is rather unacknowledged or taken for granted. As a Pilipino American, I personally have not taken the time to realize what affects my identity as being a Pilipino and American. The book made me realize how there are certain influences – whether from the past or present –…

in the state. Paying illegal workers below minimum wage is very common and results in higher profits for the illegal employer, and therefore higher taxes paid by the employer. Final result: worker gets much lower pay (essentially payroll withholding) which results more taxes being paid into the U.S. and State treasuries (due to higher profits for the illegal employers). Many illegal employers know their Mexican laborers are illegal, but nonetheless withhold payroll taxes from their paychecks,…

Up to one-quarter of recent deportations have been of a mother or father a mother of a U.S citizen."(Gomez) America dissembles families apart. Immigration…

to attend public schools. Rasmussen’s solution was to stop the protesting at schools and find a different way to bring up the issue. Instead, people should send a message. For example, writing a letter to public officials who advocate enforcing laws that reward immigrants who are in the U.S. without proper documents. However these officials have little force in making sure the borders are tightly secured and enforcing the laws that would have sent illegal immigrants, back home. As border…

"Immigrants and Taxes" which was wrote by Gerald Prante. The article states, "...many undocumented immigrants pay payroll taxes (I.e. FICA and Medicare) … some of these same individuals also pay income taxes." It is a fact that these undocumented aliens do indeed, pay taxes. Although, since the immigration system of the United States is…
