Abstract
This paper discusses the rights of residents of the United States who are citizens of other countries (aliens). 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."

NAFTA, 2007.
This paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Abstract
The paper discusses how the financially poor Mexico and Canada have been able to increase their prosperity and growth due to The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The paper shows how manufacturers in all three countries benefit from the increased market potential of three countries instead of just one. The paper relates that the three countries are unified not only in terms of the envisioned economic sphere, but also in terms of environmentalism and political matters. The paper also points out, however, that despite all these benefits, there are those who are less optimistic regarding the current results and future prospects of the Trade Agreement. The paper briefly discusses the reasons for this lack of optimism.
From the Paper
"The concept of unification can be seen from a variety of diverse viewpoints. In terms of the economy, for example, countries, states, or businesses may seek unification in order to not only simplify, but also consolidate the financial terms, issues and debts. Politically, unification can mean the simplification and standardization of rules, regulations and laws. Unification in terms of politics is often necessitated by factors such as economic pressure, as well as a need for standardization and control in terms of governance (Hulsmann, G.J.)."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"For many years in history mankind used the earth's natural resources without any thought to what may happen in the future. Recently however, that changed as scientists began to provide warnings to the world that the earth's natural resources are not an unlimited supply and that the insults mankind visits upon them are creating a crisis in today's world as well as setting up serious problems for future generations. The region of Mexico has been dealing with serious natural resource threats for some time. Deforestation and water pollution are two areas of concern that have moved to the forefront of focus."

Demographics in the Chicano Population, 2007.
This paper examines statistics regarding the Chicano population in the United States.
788 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 28.95

Abstract
This paper considers several aspects of the growing Chicano population in America. The author presents numerous statistics about the growth of this population and the various causes for this growth. Additionally, the paper includes information regarding education and employment. The paper also considers policy-making regarding the welfare of the Mexican-American population. The author sees this as a primary concern in policy-making for the 21st century.
From the Paper
" Public education and welfare are the other major issues for policy-making in the 21st century (Baker). Realistic allocations can be made only when based on true population composition. This is illustrated by a recent decision not to adjust the 1990 US Census Bureau statistics, which disproportionately omit US Latino-residents and, as a result, understate the population bases on which congressional representation and decisions on program funding are made. This kind of resistance has repeatedly resulted in an incomplete policy agenda and the formation of the appropriate and responsive management of demographic change. The fast-aging character of the American population places the burden of caring for the elderly on minorities and immigrants. Current and projected demographic patterns indicate that the economic success of the nation depends more and more on the fate of the growing Chicano population. Their education and welfare can, therefore, not be ignored by policymakers (Baker)."

"Given the Chilean government's new desire to address historical inequities in the nation, and its relatively strong economy and currency which would mitigate some of the risks in embarking upon these new ventures, Chile offers itself as a nation not simply of scenic beauty, but of attractive investment opportunities. The nation and the region are changing, and so is the hospitality industry. Because of its varied nature, offering a site for local business as well as a potential place for adventure travel or 'off the beaten path' personal enrichment, Chile offers a wealth of unusual investment opportunities for the Hilton Corporation."

Abstract
This paper highlights some of the recent leaders of Argentina. First, the election between Nestor Kirchner and Carlos Saul Menem is described, including the contenders' platforms and the outcome. Next, several paragraphs are devoted to Juan Peron's rule of Argentina, and the influence of his wife Evita. The paper concludes optimistically, predicting that the economy will continue to recover and that Argentines will achieve a level of financial freedom heretofore unheard of.
From the Paper
"Since taking office Kirchner has had to implement a policy that would assist the country in recovering from a very real recession during 2001-2002. "Poverty and unemployment rates soared during Argentina's 2001-2002 economic crisis but have eased as the economy recovered to grow nine percent on average over the last three years" (Reuters 2006). Kirchner's policies have helped the country to recover from a severe economic crisis since he has taken office, but the unemployment rate is still very high. At the height of the crisis the unemployment rate was as high as 21.5% and the number of impoverished Argentines was 57.5%. "Argentina's unemployment rate fell to 10.4 percent in the second quarter from 12.1 percent in the same period last year" (Reuters 2006)."

Abstract
The paper relates that the Federal Republic of Brazil is the largest country in Latin America and has experienced great political and economic change like many of its neighbors. The paper discusses how despite the fact that Brazil continues to struggle with fully implementing democracy, securing human rights and bolstering the economy, it has made significant steps in its thirty years of democratic rule. The paper explains that Brazil's participation in international and regional political and economic groups secures its position as a nation poised to grow and prosper throughout the 21st century.
From the Paper
"The government of Brazil has followed a similar path to many other nations. The European nation of Portugal claimed Brazil in 1500 and ruled it until Brazil's independence in 1822. Despite its independence, Brazil was still ruled by Portuguese emperors until 1889 when a federal republic was established. A constitutional republic ruled from 1889-1930 until a military coup established Getulio Vargas as dictator until 1945. A string of presidents ensued until the early 1960s when it was apparent that major change was necessary. The country struggled with "high inflation, economic stagnation, and the increasing influence of radical political elements" (Pearson 3)."

Immigration and Aid, 2007.
This paper argues against providing government aid to undocumented workers in the United States.
1,993 words (approx. 8.0 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 63.95
»

Abstract
The paper reveals that the cost of supporting illegal immigrants in government programs is estimated to be over a billion dollars a year. The paper asserts that this money could be used to improve medical care for legal residents, help offset the current social security issues, or help pay for programs for residents to better their lives. The paper maintains that the ability to collect benefits without documentation has been a contributing factor to the influx of illegal immigration.

Introduction
The Facts
Argument Against Aid
The Argument For Aid
Refutation
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The topic of illegal immigrants is becoming more heated with each passing month. As politicians line up on either side of the immigration camp, voters' voices are becoming louder regarding the immigrant presence and their desire to become documented without going through the normal methods. Many people point to government programs and believe that illegal immigrants will drain those programs if they are allowed to obtain benefits, while supporters of giving benefits to those immigrants say it will provide them with the ability to survive while getting on their feet which in the end is a winning situation for America. Currently there are over 12 million undocumented workers in the United States according to recent surveys. The majority of those immigrants are in America from Mexico but they also come from across the sea, and to the north out of Canada."

Outline:
Review and Discussion
Background and Overview
Positive Economic Contributions of Illegal Immigrants
Exorbitant Costs Associated with Identifying and Deporting Illegal Immigrants
Migration is a Natural Survival Technique
Adverse Impact on Nation's Consciousness
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In reality, though, the vast majority of these jobs are either low-paying and menial jobs that many Americans would be reluctant to accept and even fewer would be willing to keep over the long-term, or the illegals involved have managed to survive in the U.S. sufficiently long to secure decent employment. In either case, these workers are contributing to the local tax base, and all of them are consumers. "Guest worker" programs and other half-measures fail to recognize these economic realities and will inevitably compel policymakers at the state and federal level to come to grips with these issues. In this regard, a recent cover story in Business Week (July 18, 2005) emphasized that, in spite of the growing discontent over illegal immigration, American businesses have continued to hire undocumented workers with little concern for federal regulations designed to stop them. Moreover, while the politicians, business owners and pundits argue about how best to handle the illegal immigrant problem, the same folks are hiring these workers as domestic employees and otherwise ("Embracing Illegals" 3).
More importantly, these same interests are also making money from the illegal immigrants in this country. One authority points out that, "In the past several years, big U.S. consumer companies -- banks, insurers, mortgage lenders, credit-card outfits, phone carriers, and others -- have decided that a market of 11 million or so potential customers is simply too big to ignore. It may be against the law for the [illegals] to be in the U.S. or for an employer to hire them, but there's nothing illegal about selling to them ("Embracing Illegals" 3)."

The Borderlands and Chicano Culture, 2007.

Abstract
Mexican-Americans are an integral part of American society at large. Chicanos continue to be engulfed in an age-old struggle to retain their cultural heritage and identity, while at the same time fit into mainstream American culture. The borderlands and the city of Los Angeles are significant places in the study of the development of Chicano culture. Historical events in the borderlands have played a significant role in shaping Chicano culture into its present form. This paper explores the effects of the Cotton Strike of 1933 on the current tensions regarding Mexican-American migrant workers today. The writer concludes that many of the issues that were relevant in the cotton strike are still without a permanent resolution.
From the Paper
"Cotton production is labor intensive and difficult without a sufficient supply of unskilled labor. Cotton production requires a long growing season and warm temperatures. Production has the potential for small profit margins. Therefore a producer must seek to cut costs anywhere possible. The loss of slave labor in the Southeastern United States meant the downfall of the cotton industry in that region. However, the availability of low-wage Mexican labor in the borderlands meant the ability to fill the gap left by the old Southern Cotton empire. Mexican migrant workers allowed for the development of the cotton industry in the southwestern United States."

American Imperialism, 2007.
A discussion on American imperialism, focusing on Theodore Roosevelt.

Abstract
The paper first examines the components of Roosevelt's foreign policy, as build upon the Monroe Doctrine. The paper then looks at this policy in action, as seen in repeated interventions into sovereign countries, as well as during the Spanish-American and Philippine-American Wars. The writer argues that these interventions led to considerable resentment in Latin American countries. The paper analyzes how there is a second side to Roosevelt's foreign policy, that of being a "good neighbor." By the 1920s, Roosevelt had moved away from colonizing as a superior power to one emphasizing commercial relations and the need for nations to act like good neighbors. The paper concludes that Roosevelt's "big stick" and "good neighbor" policies have had lasting effects on diplomacy in the Western Hemisphere, through World War II until the Cold War.
Outline:
Abstract
Content
References
From the Paper
"This "big stick" policy is a significant departure from previous foreign policies, which were based on coastal defense. The new century, however, brought on a changing global vision of United States security. Previously, the thought of an army and militia coming to the rescue was enough to make the American government feel secure. However, by the 1890s, the age of "big navies" meant that imperialist countries such as the United States could be threatened by conflicts that are occurring far from its shores. Navalists such as the young Theodore Roosevelt therefore began to think of American security in terms of the greater global framework. Since America is an imperialist country, it also needed to conceive of a global security framework to safeguard its colonial possessions (Tompkins)."

Abstract
This paper reviews the House Resolution 4437, also known as the Sensenbrenner Bill. The paper discusses how this piece of legislation goes beyond simple inconvenience and instead reeks of social injustice. According to the paper, it appears to be a method of tightening up the currently lax security along the United States borders, but upon further investigation, includes measures that would make millions of illegal aliens currently in the country felons, impede the human rights of asylum seekers, throw away due process protections, and limit the access to essential services that millions require.

Introduction
H.R. 4437 Overview
Arguments in Favor of the Bill

Conclusion
From the Paper
"American businesses will lose valuable workers by the droves. Entire industries will feel a labor shortage that will have a snowball effect, especially in areas such as the South West where illegal aliens make up a large percentage of certain employment fields. With the significant demand for employees for these positions, wages are certain to rise, raising costs for companies, which will in turn have to raise their prices. This increase will be felt by all as other organizations then have to compensate for increased costs of doing business."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"However, there is a group that considers these arguments myth and propaganda based on irrelevant issues. Those who oppose harsh laws against the illegal immigrants comprise a number of Democrats who argue that Republicans are trying to create a police state by being unfair and harsh towards the people who are trying to prove themselves as good US citizens. Senator Hillary Clinton also spoke against such laws. "The senator also sent a four-page public letter to constituents and said she does support allowing at least some of the estimated 11 million undocumented workers to earn citizenship. Such changes should include 'a path to earned citizenship for those who are here, working hard, paying taxes, respecting the law, and willing to meet a high bar for becoming a citizen,' Clinton wrote" ('Sen. Clinton Blasts', pars. 6,7)."
