These people struggle even harder when they are not accepted but discriminated against and humiliated. Open immigration might scare some citizens because they think that immigrant people just come to this country to take and not to give. Agriculture, health care and technology are areas where immigrants have been beneficial.

Every country in the world experiences immigration, but The United States of America experiences the highest rates of immigrants. Even though this country was built on the backs of slaves and immigrants, citizens “ fears “ that immigrants would come and take resources from them. Illegal immigrants help to contribute to the economy of this country taking jobs that citizens find degrading. Obama’s immigration speech clarifies how the new immigration reform would help the Border Patrol, how it would help those immigrants that contribute to this country, and how this new reform does not apply to people who might come to this country in the future.
Veronica EPublished 4 years ago in The SwampToo Wee, Too Poor, Too Stupid
The main arguments articulated against the case for Scottish independence tend to follow three broad themes: that Scotland is too wee; that Scotland is too poor and that Scotland is too stupid. Although unionists (usually) take care not to be so offensive and brutal when making the case against independence as to say such things outright, if you analyse the substance of their arguments, the essence of them are quite clear.

Jake HaldanePublished 4 years ago in The SwampLife Without a Two-Party System
Since the invention of the United States, we have had a two party system. This article is practice, or a dry run rough draft for a piece I'm writing for Salon about how to get rid of the two party system altogether. The Republicans are the obvious bad guys, at least the ones who aren't members of Republicans for the Rule of Law. There are bad Democrats out there too, who serve corporate interests, not the people. Vote by mails is something Republicans for the Rule of Law can get behind. I'm not necessarily that conservative though as I believe in a woman's right to choose, and equal work for equal pay, something we have precious little of in the United States at large right now.
