This will affect the natural born citizens of the United States and the people who become naturalized citizens. It will affect the natural…

Take a moment and think about your deepest wishes and dreams. Then ask yourself, “What have I done to pursue those dreams?” The American dream is the belief that all people have the opportunity to become anyone or anything they want. This dream is attainable to anyone who is willing to set goals, work hard to accomplish them, and never give up. We all know the story of the mighty Hercules; his strength and heroics make him an admired Disney character. But what we don’t always focus on is how…
