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
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."

Aliens and the Quest for Identity, 2005.

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 defences with those of other nations'3. The importance of 'home', in this case, of everyone on Earth joining together against a common enemy, is emphasised to contrast with what is unknown and 'alien'."

Hiring of Illegal Aliens at Wal-Mart, 2006.

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."

Illegal Aliens, 2008.
This paper looks at arguments surrounding undocumented foreign nationals in the U.S.

Click here to show/hide summary
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.

Introduction
Existing Problems
References
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
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."

Health Services for Illegal Aliens, 2004.
Argues that illegal workers in the United States should receive public health benefits.
700 words (approx. 2.8 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 24.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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."

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."

Abstract
This paper is an argumentative exercise based on the thesis that the first processes that led to life on earth have taken place elsewhere thereby making it valid to believe that we are not alone in this universe.
From the Paper
"Today we know that Galileo was right. Throughout history, people have been ridiculed, harassed and severely punished for their views that didn?t seem to fit in with the currently accepted cultural beliefs. Is it arrogant to assume that we are the only life in the universe? Almost everyone has caught himself or herself looking up at the sky wondering what that flashing light in the sky is. Almost everyone has wondered if we are alone in the world. And almost everyone has wondered about the truth in all the television shows and movies portraying aliens. Extraterrestrials are alive and well in our universe. They might not reveal themselves to us, but they do exist."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the incarceration of the foreign criminals before they are returned to their home countries. It mentions the fact that many of their homelands refuse to take them back, and so these offenders cannot be released in the U.S. either. The paper looks at the issues faced by the INS in dealing in a timely fashion with the criminals, since the system has not been created to cope with such a load.
From the Paper
"The issue is not a new one and has plagued the system for some time. On the one hand, there is pressure for the INS to do more to deport criminal aliens; on the other hand, there is pressure to do so in a timely fashion and to avoid jailing too many criminal immigrants in this country. It was reported in 1993 that between 1988 and 1990, 489,000 aliens scheduled to be deported could have been locked up, but the INS at the time had only 6,600 beds, forcing it to release more and more suspects. The General Accounting Office reported that in 1982, 24 percent of those apprehended were detained, while by 1990, only nine percent were held. In the mid-1990s, there were some 62,000 people under deportation proceedings in the New York district, while only about 750 a year were deported. This would mean it would take 80 years just to clear out the existing backlog (Popkin and Friedman 32)."

Faith, Religion, and Aliens: Why Do We Believe the Things We Believe?, 2006.

Abstract
An analysis of Jung's work, "Flying Saucers" and the films "Signs" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" in relation to the issues they bring to light about religion and faith in general. The paper questions what makes people believe and uses the sources to answer this. The author concludes that belief is based on many factors, including personal experience, imagination, upbringing and education.
From the Paper
"The word "faith" is a term that often appears in conversations about both religion and the existence of life elsewhere in the universe. By definition, "faith" can be explained as the belief something that cannot be proven rationally by logic or evidence. Many people, however, who adhere to a religion might argue that religious texts, tenets, or a personal relationship with a deity gives sufficient evidence to factually prove their religion. This same trend applies to those who claim to have seen alien life forms; these people may have physical evidence or photographs that seem to have no other explanation except contact with alien beings. Why, then, is the existence of aliens not accepted as general fact? Why, along the same line of reasoning, is there not just one, true, fundamental religion? The answer lies in faith."

"Scope of Illegal Immigration
The United States has been unable to stem the tide of illegal aliens who are estimated to number more than 3.5 million (Yang, 1994, p. 34). California absorbs more than 50 percent of the nation's illegal immigrants (Wagar, 1994, p. 4). Because of the burden this places on the state economy, California has been leading the call for a close review of federal immigration laws. However, other states like Arizona, Florida and Texas are asking for more federal funding to reimburse them for services spent on illegal aliens, such as medical care, imprisonment and education.
History of Illegal Immigration
One of the reasons why the illegal aliens have become so difficult to stop is an ideological problem in the United States concerning immigration. The U.S. government cannot determine whether it wishes..."

Rousseau on Alienation
Marx' Alienation Applied to Project
Rousseau's Alienation Applied to Project
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Both Rousseau and Marx developed independent theories of alienation that were compounded into political thought that shaped history and allowed each to be active participants in political and social change. Each had a vision of the alienation of the individual by various means of either force (Marx) or choice (Rousseau) that demonstratively affected the manner in which political and social thought emerged in their various circles. Marx, at the heart of the socialist revolution became a leading figure in Russian Reform, while Rousseau's political ideologies helped grease the wheels of the French revolution, and later reform in Poland. In brief, Marx believed that the individual was alienated as product of being separated from the means of production, by the force of control of the owner. While Rousseau believed that alienation was a choice made by those who chose to live in and build a society based on his form of social contract theory. (Smith, 2006, p. 270)"

Alienation Literature, 2005.
This paper compares the theme of alienation from society by three novelists: Ernest Hemingway in "The Sun Also Rises", F. Scott Fitzgerald in "The Great Gatsby" and Willa Cather in "The Professor's House".

Abstract
This paper explains that in these novels the differences in their alienation and the effects, which this alienation has on their actions, relationships and lives overall, causes the reader to view them as isolated and often unhappy characters. The author points out that Jake Barnes in Ernest Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises" is alienated from people and from a society, which he regards as inauthentic; whereas, Nick Carroway in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" is alienated from the rich by how they live their lives and acquire their money. The paper relates that Godfrey St. Peter in Willa Cather's "The Professor's House" is alienated from his present life by an overwhelming and enveloping memory from his distant past.
From the Paper
"F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" tells of a much different, and ultimately more lethal for many of its characters, kind of alienation, springing, this time, from a combination of pursuit of wealth for its own sake, and a seedy, decadent and essentially meaningless lifestyle, as exemplified by that of the title character, jay Gatsby himself. We see, through the eyes of an increasingly alienated narrator, Nick Carroway, the ways and lifestyle of the mysterious, nouveau riche Jay Gatsby, who has earned his wealth dishonorably, through bootlegging and various other criminal activities."
