Mass famine, caused by factors as extensive and diverse as severe climate abnormalities to colossal, all-out wars, led to the suffering and death of many. With farmers no longer financially independent, poverty reared its ugly head. The utter lack of any kind of political or religious freedom was widely conspicuous.

As shown on a resource map of Greater Appalachia, the topography of the region excluded the inhabitants, who were known as Borderlanders, from acquiring necessary resources, such as forests or fish. The Borderlands did not have many resources at hand; items such as timber or oil were more commonly found in the Deep South (Glencoe). Additionally, as mentioned by Colin Woodward in American Nations, “With no roads, trade was almost entirely by barter” (Woodward 104). Because of limited resources and roads, the geography of Greater Appalachia prevented the

Now the INS (U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service) does not only ask a few general questions about your citizenship and the purpose of your visit.

  • Summary Of Migra ! A History Of The US Border Patrol

    1267 Words  | 6 Pages

    In the book “Migra! A History of the U.S Border Patrol, author Kelly Lytle Hernandez describes the history of the U.S border patrol from the 1920s to the end of the twentieth century.

  • The Pros And Cons Of United States Border Patrol

    2970 Words  | 12 Pages

    The United States Border Patrol, USBP, has acted as the country's first line of defense against unauthorized migration throughout history. Border Patrol's primary focus and mission is to prevent as well as detect the entry of any and all weapons of mass destruction, terrorists and illegal aliens into the country while also working to interdict drug smugglers and all other criminals along the border (Haddal, 2010). The Homeland Security Act of 2002 did away with the Immigration and Naturalization Service and instead placed the United States Border Patrol in the Department of Homeland Security. USBP, in the last couple of decades, has begun to receive a drastic increase in funding in response to incidents, which could have been prevented if the terrorists had been stopped at the border (Haddal, 2010). The United States has some of the world’s longest land and sea borders and securing them is both a national security priority and logistical challenge.

In 2000, approximately 2 million of the 30 million Hispanic Americans were diagnosed with diabetes. “(Cohen et al.2005) Even though Hispanic Americans, especially Mexican Americans, have a higher tendency to have diabetes due to genetic factors, the main cause of this chronic disease is the socioeconomic inequities that affect this population in the United States. The U.S.-Mexico border has caught the attention of researchers through the years not only because the prevalent population, Mexican American, has high rates of poverty and unemployment, but also because the prevalence of diabetes in the Arizona-Sonora border is twice that of the rest of the country.
