The Fender-Bender I like the article “The Fender-Bender,” written by Ramon “Tainguiz” Perez; however, it is in most ways suspense. Entertained by the details of the article. I could almost envision myself portraying the character of Ramon. So vividly detailed, my heart was beating heavily and aggressively. As I was nervously following the story word per word, I could practically read the thoughts that was running through Ramon’s head. Ramon’s article may perhaps be gearing towards illegal…

supervisors. According to a report by the U.S. Department of Labor, "The Latino community represents 16% of the country's workforce." The Latino community is definitely of great importance in the country as it provides a great contribution to the economy of the country. Therefore, to assert their rights this February 16 name as the "Immigrants Day" there was a protest by the Latino community in New Brunswick, New Jersey. There were many restaurants and shops that were closed in protest of a day…

there is no need for more unnatural growth. Immigrants can come through the legal system and become naturalized citizens the legal way, but some choose not to. The immigration system is set up so people who are willing to work and pay taxes join our economy and contribute.

Even legal immigrants cause issues for the government,…

A border is a line that divides places such as towns, counties, states, and countries. It is different from the word frontier because the meaning for the Spanish word “la frontera” is the area that the border cuts off. A border can be an outline to keep things separated where as a frontier or boundary is the actual area being outlined. Borders help keep the world organized and defined. Every community has their own personal boundary separated by a border. Borders help determine where people are…

For many years, General Manuel Noriega was a key pillar in the history of Panama even though he was never the president of Panama as he served as a de-facto leader. His arrest was attributed to the offences he committed while in power thus ended up serving 20 years in prison both in the United States and France. General Noriega’s extradition is therefore, one that is supported because he has to be able to answer for his crimes of embezzlement, murder and corruption, which he was largely involved…

A very powerful and influential man to the country of Venezuela is a name named Hugo Chavez. He may be dead but he will never be forgotten. Chavez did a lot of good and bad things for his country. Although Chavez was a labled as many things, the one word that describes him best is leader. He was a leader during his childhood, military career, family life, and his presidency. Chavez was born in July 28, 1954. He grew up in the small southwestern town in the plains of Venezuela called, Sabaneta.…

This helped improve the economy because the more money people have the more money they spend, which in turn stimulates the economy. undocumented immigrants contribute to the economy and if they are legalized, they would be able to contribute…

still have guidelines that would make sure that we only accept people that will contribute positively to our country. Madam secretary it is my recommendation that you support and help improve immigration reform. Immigration is beneficial to our economy. They take jobs that other Americans won’t do and they pay taxes. We must revise immigration laws. Not only will this benefit us economically, but we will also diversify America, which is what we are known for. We must also allow Syrian refugees…

In recent discussions of the peace talks between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the Colombian government, a controversial issue has been whether negotiating with the guerilla would bring political stability to the nation. On one hand, some argue that the inclusion of the FARC in political affairs would ultimately…
