Mr. President, the results from the November 2010 midterm elections have exposed a divide between coastal cities and less-dense areas of the Midwest. The Republican Party’s big gain in the house came largely from cities that were older, less educated and highly blue-collar areas. Nineteen of the twenty-three seats that were picked up by the Republican Party were in the Midwest states. With the increase in blight from the loss of jobs, and the loss of population, many of the vacant homes are beyond repair; therefore, even if the land banks were to purchase them they could not restore them. We recommend that you publicly show support to the green idea of urban farmland.
Immigrants come from many areas, but most immigrants came from Europe. They came because they were fleeing things such as famine. Most Irish immigrants came to America during the potato famine. Immigrants of other nationalities came to America because they were fleeing things such as religious persecution, freedom, genocide, economic crisis, and basically a life that is much better than the one that they already have. The immigrants of today come to seek a better life, start or expand businesses, start their families, and quite often, some immigrants come to America just to have their children be born American citizens.

It was the first World’s Fair to be done with 27.5 million visits in a time where the population was 60 million (5). Many things we use today came out in the World’s Fair; the world’s first all-electric kitchen, the Ferris wheel, cracker jacks, juicy fruit, the zipper the list goes on and on. I gave people that would have been otherwise out of work a job, employing thousands of people who would later become unemployed when the fair came to an end.
In Lithuania, its custom that guests at a wedding-feast leave money to cover the cost, but since they were in America, many of the guest leave the feast without leaving any money since money was being budgeted amongst each person due to the lack of jobs available. Jurgis, who has great faith in the American Dream, vowed that he will simply work harder to make more money so that they may pay off the debt and continue living in America without struggling. Jobs in Packingtown involve back-breaking labor, however, conducted in unsafe conditions with little regard for individual workers. Therefore, Jurgis quickly finds work since he is young and eager to work. The family signed an agreement to buy a house, but the house was poorly maintained so it was full of repairs which evidently would cost money that they didn’t have.
German Americans and Discrimination In the 1680's, the first Germans immigrated to British Colonies primarily in New York and Pennsylvania. However, it was not until 1951 thru 1960 when the highest number of German immigrants came to the United States. Many Germans came to the U.S. because of the economic status, religious freedom, and the ability to own land.
