It discusses whether or not the amount of rights that aliens in the United States benefit from is in accordance with the International Law of Human Rights and religious and moral principles. The paper explores whether aliens should be awarded more rights or if they already have too many rights and discusses the implications of providing them with more rights.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"During the years, due to social pressure the illegal aliens have been granted a series of temporary benefits. They have been awarded amnesties at times. That is the granting of a legal statute into the country. They have had educational subsidies. In some states they have had drivers' licenses. One such benefit was the illegal alien identification card which was introduced in an effort to legitimize and control illegal migration. Especially the governments of the countries of origin of most of the aliens, like Mexico, were very important supporters of this card. This card is used if the alien is deported according to the laws. These cards have been strongly opposed by the American conservatives as they were thought to be aiding and abetting illegal migration."

Abstract
The paper argues that there have been sightings of aliens by reliable witnesses, and surveys indicate that more than half of Americans believe that the United States has been visited by aliens. The paper then discusses how despite the facts, many Americans would prefer to ignore the issue entirely and the U.S. government has made every effort to treat the problem as if it did not exist. The paper provides a recent photograph of aliens living in the United States today to illustrate the growing body of evidence and to argue that the time has come to recognize the truth and take proactive steps to address the situation.
From the Paper
"Since the mid-20th century, reports of strange-looking aliens living in the United States have been commonplace and scarcely a day goes by when a newspaper headline does not trumpet yet another sighting by reliable witnesses, including military officials, airline pilots and law enforcement officials across the country. In fact, recent surveys indicate that more than half of Americans believe that the United States has been visited by aliens (Minerd 2000:16). Skeptics continue to denounce these countless alien sightings, preferring instead to hide their heads in the sand in hopes that the whole thing is really just some bad practical joke gone astray and will blow over in the future. In this environment, it is little wonder that Americans want and need to know if they are alone in the universe, or if there are really others out there who represent a potential threat or potential salvation for mankind's woes today.
"A careful and thoughtful review of the popular literature suggests that there can be no denying that aliens are already here, though. In fact, an informal search on "Google" for "aliens" results in about 40,700,000 matches. Likewise, there are more than 321,000 videos posted on YouTube concerning aliens, many of them involving aliens already living in the United States today, and the numbers continue to increase on a daily basis. Given this enormous level of public interest and growing body of evidence, how can the skeptics continue to deny the presence of these outsiders?"

Abstract
This paper reports that the impact of illegal alien immigrants on the California health care system is astronomical especially because illegal immigrants bring infectious disease into California and the United States. Many of these diseases have never been known in the United States while others were long ago eradicated from the U.S. The author stresses that California physicians must develop an initiative to address preventative health care and disease detection and treatment for this population. The paper recommends a qualitative methodology using focus groups of California private practitioners to formulate a plan through which private practitioners may provide medical care for illegal immigrant aliens.

From the Paper
"FAIR further reports: "Immigrants are often uninsured and underinsured. Forty-three percent of noncitizens under 65 have no health insurance. That means there are 9.4 million uninsured immigrants, a majority of whom are in the country illegally, constituting 15 percent of the total uninsured in the nation in the mid-1990s. The cost of the medical care of these uninsured immigrants is passed onto the taxpayer, and strains the financial stability of the health care community. Another problem is immigrants' use of hospital and emergency services rather than preventative medical care."

Abstract
This paper examines the investigation, led by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which discovered that the janitorial contractors providing cleaning services to Wal-Mart had employed illegal aliens to fill their contract. The paper describes the beginnings of the investigation, who was involved in the investigation, the civil settlement that resulted from the investigation, and the legal implications of the settlement for immigration law enforcement.
From the Paper
"Wal-Mart has earned phenomenal success and accolades over the last 3 decades. They have grown from a local retailer to a global powerhouse. Yet, the sky is not always blue in the land of discount pricing. A variety of special interest groups often try to thwart the opening of the next SuperCenter, with concerns of taking away sales from local, small businesses and even complaints of discrimination in their hiring and promotion processes. Now these groups can add another item to their list of concerns when it comes to another Wal-Mart opening in their town, the employment of illegal aliens."

Abstract
This paper reviews the concept and history of Unidentified Flying Objects, or UFOs, and the influence UFOs have had on the world entertainment, and the influence the world of entertainment has had on our perception of UFOs and alien life.
From the Paper
"Unidentified Flying Objects, (UFOs) were once only saucers tied to a string and filmed by an 8mm camera in the 1950s. By the 1970s they became a bit more believable when 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' presented images of technologically advanced UFOs, with images fitting the preconceived idea of aliens driving them through the desert. Yet, by the time 'E.T.', (The Extraterrestrial) was presented in the 1980s society began to take a closer look at the phenomenon of the UFO, and many within it started to relate their personal experiences in sightings, abductions, meetings, and "close encounters". Today there is a vast array of television programming focused on UFOs, and the aliens who build them."

Abstract
People are as fascinated by aliens today as they were fifty years ago. Aliens starred in the monster films of the 1950s and today they feature in, literally, everything from toys to clothing to advertising. Nonetheless, when viewed today, the alien horror movies of the 1950s seem laughable to many audiences. This is because in the last twenty years, our relationship with aliens has shifted from fear and hate to what we might call alien love. By conducting a detailed reading of one such alien film from the 1950s, 'War of the Worlds', and an example of alien love today in the form of a promotional web site for lager, it compares how aliens are addressed in each text, and with the help of Tom Wolfe's "Radical Chic", considers how much attitudes have changed.
From the Paper
"Byron Haskin's 1953 film 'The War of the Worlds' is one of the earliest in the trend for alien horror films. Although the film evidences the fascination with aliens at the time, it is also very clear that we are not dealing with any kind of infatuation with the extra-terrestrial. In fact, they are presented as a very serious threat to humans. Almost immediately they are described in an authoritative narrative voice as 'intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic'2. This functions to establish early on the three key differences the film seeks to set up between humans and aliens: aliens are more intelligent, but have no emotions and no compassion. Therefore, before the audience even sees the aliens, they are assured that they are in no way similar to humans. Later, the obvious differences in appearance between human and alien produce even more distance between the two. Earth is used to contrast with the unfamiliar alien: although most of the action is confined to one place, the narrator points out that 'in every country government officials met... seeking ways to co-ordinate their defenses with those of other nations'3. The importance of 'home', in this case, of everyone on Earth joining together against a common enemy, is emphasized to contrast with what is unknown and 'alien'."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the arguments surrounding the issue of undocumented foreign nationals, or illegal aliens, in the United States are intense. The issues reflect a broad spectrum of topics such as medical services and health risks posed by illegal aliens; crime; education; jobs; unemployment; Social Security and disability benefits. Some of the issues are ones that are peripheral to that of illegal aliens, like globalization and open borders. However, at some point even the peripheral issues merge, and the focus rests with the problem of undocumented individuals, who have entered the United States illegally, and what rights, if any, they have; and what to do about the problem. This paper examines some of these issues, resolutions and potential outcomes.

From the Paper
"The existing problems posed by undocumented individuals crossing America's southern border into the United States illegally is a serious one. First, the geographical locations from which they traveling across to enter the United States, are third world countries in South America. Those countries have poor infrastructures - if they did not, most of their citizens would be content to remain in those countries. The poor infrastructure means that there is inadequate housing, nutrition, education, and public services, like sanitation, immunization, and medical care available to the citizens of those countries - most notably, Mexico. What this means to the United States is that illegals crossing into the country pose a potential threat to the citizens of the United States by way of infectious diseases."

Abstract
Health services are crucial for any American, illegal alien or not. The paper argues that to refuse health care to people because they are in the country illegally is not only cruel and heartless; it simply ignores the foundation of freedom upon which America's ancestors built the country. This paper further argues that illegal aliens in the United States should be entitled to receive basic health services and gives compelling reasons why this is true.
From the Paper
"However, as these immigrants enter the country illegally, work here illegally, and do not (or can not) retain citizenship, a growing number of the public and their legislators believe these people should not receive basic needs when they are in need, such as health care. California voters passed Proposition 187 in 1994, and part of the proposition banned public services to undocumented aliens working and living in the state. Eventually, the higher courts threw much of the Proposition out, but it gained national attention and several others states that have large immigrant populations, such as Florida, began writing similar legislation for their own states. However, most immigrants say they do not come to America for the social services they can receive they come for jobs, and legislating against them cannot change that."

Abstract
This paper is a research proposal that attempts to establish the American countrywide trend in illegal immigration from the 1950s to the present. It first enumerates the measures that have been taken to solve or address the problem. The paper then lists the arguments for and against subsidizing healthcare for illegal aliens. It determines the extent of illegal immigration in California and Maryland through a survey and assesses the effectiveness of current legislation and other measures to combat illegal immigration.

From the Paper
"Governor Wilson commented that the border, which separates Mexico and Southern California are contoured to let a steady supply of illegal immigrants into the US (Hanson 1994). That border is porous enough to make the passage easy and frequent, like every day. These illegal aliens come to the US mainland to work, to study or even to commit crimes. In reaction to Medi-Cal-connected frauds, Governor Wilson increased the number of investigators from 66 to 101. Many of those crossing the border had no birth certificate, no Social Security number or any other identification. This made the job of fraud investigators quite difficult. But what was really frustrating about the policy was that many of the services secured or given these undocumented aliens were not available to legal residents themselves. Yet these federal policies were sustained by taxpayers' money. There was indication of bipartisan support for the initiative in California."
