This issue has only irritated Republicans, Democrats mindset is the more the minority, the better for us. People want to come to the United States for a better life, any way possible. The issue stems from illegal immigrant or illegal aliens instead of legal aliens. There was a CBS News poll on illegal immigration and the 14th Amendment, which seems the population is divided in half.

The Better Business Climate model undermines unions and makes this worse for workers. When unions are strong, they can bargain and win better wages, working conditions, and benefits. Also, according to the Jobs, Wealth, Income, and Our Future Handout, as unions decline, the middle class disappears. With no middle class, there is just the upper class and the lower class, which means great income and opportunity gaps. Therefore, according to the same handout, the top 1% has accumulated nearly 40% of America’s wealth.

If your answer for Q-1 does not feature some ideas about the role of social movements, you probably need to review the material. Despite the desired trend towards less racism with the election of the first African American president, the opposite has occurred. Instead of bringing Americans together, America has become increasingly more polarized. As McAdam and Kloos write, “the country is now more starkly divided in political terms than at any time since the end of Reconstruction and more unequal in material terms than roughly a century ago and greater, even, than on the eve of the Great Depression” (McAdam and Kloos 4). An increase in inequality has only given rise to protest groups such as Occupy Wall St that protested the rising inequality between the 1%

All plans, proposals, &c. prior to the nineteenth of April, I. E. to the commencement of hostilities, are like the almanacks of the last year;... the one proposing force, the other friendship; but it hath so far happened that the first hath failed, and the second”. He speaks on the fact that we would have had better relationships with more countries if we didn't have to be looped in with Britain. We would be able to make more money from trade, and becoming a more powerful nation with more allies. Paine believes that Britain treats their colonies horribly and that if they were a “parent” they wouldn't treat their children like slaves and brutes and that they wouldn't throw their child into war for something that's not their

Supporters claim that the Founding Fathers introduced the Electoral College to balance out the interests of high and low populated areas in the country. For example, if the result of the election was decided by popular vote, the results would reflect the more populated areas since that area casted more votes. The purpose of the Electoral College is to make every state count, as well as every voting citizen in that state. John Samples, a political author, defends this notion by stating, “We should keep in mind the regional conflicts that have plagued large and diverse nations like India, China, and Russia. The Electoral College is a good antidote to the poison of regionalism because it forces presidential candidates to seek support throughout the nation” (Samples, 2000).

Williams suggests that the founders thought that the Electoral College was a sensible plan, but things don’t always work out how they should (28). It is a relic of America’s predemocratic past when leaders were scared of having too much power over the people (Klinker, McClellan 1). Congressional Digest suggests that we are stuck in a time warp (31). We still rely on a horse-and-buggy election system in the age of the internet (Congressional Digest 31). Congressional Digest points out the fact that voters today know more about the candidates than they did 200 years ago (19).

A survey found that 51 percent of Americans think that their jobs have been taken by unworthy undocumented immigrants who have cheated their way into this country.. “Rasmussen Reports survey found that 51 percent of Americans believe they are competing for their jobs against illegal immigrants living in the country.” Wrote International Business Times.

Nativism is described as “the political idea that people who were born in a country are more important than immigrants”( "Nativism Definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary"). Nativism was most seen during the 1870’s through the 1920’s. Nativism was a major cause in middle-class disputes since middle-class workers feared that the immigrant workers would drop wage prices and that they “...threatened social stability”(The Many Faces of Immigration). Many Catholic immigrants were blamed for the overflow of immigrants in the poverty sections of cities. This was not the only case of discrimination against religious affiliations in immigrants.

In the Obama vs. Trump era, the parties have a hard time with this concept as they are so determined to prove the opposing party wrong. As shown in the study by Pew Research Center, 55% of Democrats have a high distaste for the Republican party while a whopping 58% of Republicans have highly unfavorable opinions of the Democratic party. When far-right businessman Donald Trump who held no prior public office got elected as president in 2016, liberal was not only shocked, they were disgusted. Polarization has created such a gap between the parties that the conservatives decided to side with a choice they knew the liberals would despise the most out of all the candidates. After Trump was inaugurated, the tension started rising to new heights as the media has attacked Donald Trump more than they did President Obama or Bush (according to Pew Research Center), but that is only because the president has been unwilling to agree with any liberal ideologies in the slightest, trying to reverse all work done by Obama.

January 4th, 2016; former president Barack Obama proposed a new system to reduce gun death rates and to keep firearms out of “the wrong hands”. For some citizens (and to congress), this was an act of triumph and courage. To others, this system as a whole is tampering with and stealing their rights as an American citizen, and from a survey taken by ‘pollingreport.com’ that’s exactly how 52% of U.S citizens feel. Evidently, these proposals have done anything but their purpose. It has fueled riots, and unrest in the nation.
