The Role Of Illegal Aliens In America
Beautiful were the days, so pleasant and nice,
No worries about illegal immigrants, he didn’t even think twice.
Communities and neighborhoods were always safe,
America was a magnificent place.

Over the years, much revision came about,
But Americans never stood up to object or shout.
Tragedies came and went which caused him to fear,
But still no one came forth to hold America dear.

He thought 9/11 would cause Americans to wake up,
And to demand a complete government shake-up.
Time had passed and so did the theme,
That America had lost in that wonderful dream.

Illegal aliens poured in by hundreds or thousands a day,
But Americans did not have anything to say.
Illegals were the cause and what had been done?
Our borders left wide open to everyone.

    In his meticulously crafted document “The American Crisis”, Thomas Paine, author of multiple important American papers and secretary to the Committee of Foreign Affairs, cleverly articulates and emotionally influences the soldiers and citizens of the American colonies to convince them to keep fighting even through the relentless winter and argues that everyone who wants freedom for themselves should have to join the fight for it. He establishes credibility through recalling personal experiences, as well as comparing ideas that are alike to emotionally persuade the audience, to craft an inescapably compelling piece of literature. Paine establishes his credibility throughout the document by reciting his own personal experiences in the war. Paine recalls the times at Fort Lee when he “marched with them to the edge of Pennsylvania”, the time that they “made their way through some marshy grounds up to the town of Hackensack”, and the time that they “stayed four days at Newark”.…

    In American history, the tension between patriotism and dissent has shown up countless times. While the nation is proud of its founding principles, such as free speech and the right to dissent, concerns about stability and national unity have often led to the suppression of dissenting voices. Taking this into account, Theodore Roosevelt stands out in history as a complex figure who embraced the idea of dissent. Throughout his life and career as a politician, Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, believed that the idea and execution of dissent should not just be permitted but were essential to a healthy democracy. His ideas and perspective on dissent were based on his understanding of both American ideals and his restless…

    He points out that many of the states had participated in the revolution, which freed them from the British monarchy with the prospect of becoming individually governed states as prescribed in the Articles of Confederation, and did not regard this agreement as simply a temporary vehicle to unite their efforts. This is what he attributes much of the high esteem we, citizens of the USA, to this day hold the founding fathers. He remarks that they are revered as demigods and the ratification of the Constitution is nothing less than heroic (Pg 128). He then reinforces again, that the Constitution was the result no one could have anticipated given the basis of the Revolutionary…

    The modern American public often views the Founding Fathers of the United States as level-headed, well-intentioned, diplomatic, successful statesmen. Upon further investigation and analysis, a clear discordance in the men’s visions of the American Spirit shows its face. Some founders strived for a strong centralized federal government while others desired a union of essentially independent states. This dichotomy reveals the schism of understanding amongst the “Founding Brothers” as illuminated in the historical analysis by Joseph Ellis.…

According to Perez (2001), “In 1986 Congress passed the Immigration Reform and Control Act that, among other things, granted amnesty to illegal immigrants who could demonstrate continual residence in the United States prior to 1982” (Perez, 2001).

    History is constantly changing over time, we learn things to either educate us about our past or to not let history repeat itself. One of the biggest thing that constantly changes is our country, the United States of America, Thomas Paine writes Rights of a Man (1791) arguing that America is a country where concord is least expected. Although Paine makes a compelling argument it’s hard to look at this country today as a land where “the rights of man” exist? Is it a land where the rich aren’t privileged? He characterizes America as this great country that our government created "on the principles of society and the rights of man," it is able to overcome the differences, however, his description of America in 1791, does not hold true today.…

    I think immigrants play an important role in America. They help build and strengthen America's economy. Immigrants help the economy by creating their own jobs. They work in all types of occupations. They are teachers, scientists, engineers, and construction workers. Every immigrant creates 1.2 local jobs for local workers, raises wages for native workers, and attracts native-born workers from elsewhere in the country.
