exceptionalism '” by Anthony Zurcher, he stated "No nation has liberated more people or done more to raise living standards around the world through trade and charity than the United States." This shows the ideology of America that motivated them to contribute not only to their own people, but also the ones outside the United States. If a nation is willing to raise the living standards of the people from the outside world, they will certainly do what’s necessary for its own people to have better…

immigration laws and policies. Currently, our immigration structure, in the United States is not working well. I believe this necessitates pressing attention to this topic.
