I have been living here since September and I get the impression that people keep to themselves more than necessary since we do not have any substantial community centers or local community events to bring people together. This atmosphere may affect a person’s personal health because of the potential for people to be isolated in their own homes, not feeling welcomed by their…

Controlling immigration, while enforcing legal migration, along with continuing to protect the border, is an incredibly difficult realm to not only control but to properly enforce as well. Throughout the United States’ history, as a country created by immigrants, the U.S. has made it a point to continue to allow legal migration, whether it be with work, school, or simply travel visas. Starting with the implementation of the Immigration Reform and Control Act, passed in 1986, the country had…
