Think about the people at your school, at your job, or even the person right next to you. We all come from different places, different background and different cultures. We all call the United States our home. We all migrated here somehow, either from our parents bringing us here or from our ancestor. The United States is a melting pot, there's no doubt about it. Without immigrants the United States wouldn't be the United States it is today. Immigrants do make up a big deal in the United State’s…

1 There are approximately 326 million people living in the U.S. About half of that number, represents the amount of people in the FBI’s Next Generation Identification Database. Wait - what is that? 2 Let’s take a step back. Living in the 21st century, we’ve all heard about fingerprint sensors - in fact, around 75% of the general population uses fingerprint recognition to unlock a device.

Northern Germany was known as Germania Inferior, and Southern Germany was known as Germania Superior.…

history have been targeted by nativism. Nativism is excluding the immigrants who come into the country whether it’s legally or illegally. However, throughout the United States’ history they have excluded so many people groups from the Chinese, to Europeans, and people from the Middle East. It seems like they try to do this in order to get the immigrants to leave, which never seems to work. The United States seems to have excluded more people groups then most other countries. They have come up…

work remain in high unemployment rates due to a lack of knowledge by Americans. Naturalized citizens can immensely help lower the rate of unemployment in these particular areas. This not only justifies the fact that temporary workers would not weaken wages or job positions of native- born laborers, but that it can benefit both the high and low skilled spectrum of occupation. With more flexibility in our Immigration Policy, American can greatly benefit in service…

In the year 2014, 1.36 million “foreign-born individuals moved to the United States” (Zong / Batalova). All with the hope of achieving the “American dream”: a better life, better job opportunities, a brighter education. Between these 1.36 million was my family and I, with the hopes of achieving the same goal as many others. Regrettably, as of November 8th of 2016, when a new government came upon, the dream of millions for a better life, a brighter education, has become the nightmare of many.…

Although I have never experienced the culture of Italy, I expect it to have many differences from the United States. For example, from what I have seen in photographs, architectural styles differ. The people of ancient Rome built enormous structures such as the Colosseum. Other buildings in Italy come from the Renaissance age, such as the leaning tower of Pisa. Besides the different styles in buildings, I have heard that the food in Italy is quite different compared to the food America offers.…
