With the Spanish American War happening because of the imperialism, this brought many people in America against the idea. With their loved ones going off to fight in a war that they should not be fighting in and that most believed America should never have got involved in, in the first place. Wars were just a start in the imperialism
Before Romero’s bitter feelings towards the government, it already had death squads and military targeting the reformers (“El Salvadoran”). What made it worse was when they refused to investigate the murder of Romero’s closest friend (“Oscar Romero”). The church was opposed to Romero and his ideas because it went against church teachings. Originally, the Vatican had sent Romero to El Salvador to restore conservative authority because they knew that liberation theology was on the rise, and they wanted to suppress it (Foley 78). The constant jump from political to religious issues created lack of unity, which is what aimed this campaign towards failure.
Madam, why did you waste your fair skin on a boy and leave the girl so dark? What is a boy doing with all this beauty’” (par. 8)? Even after her brother has committed many crimes and been arrested for apparently being involved in cult violence, her parents are completely devoted to him. Breaking the car windshield is her protest against this favoritism, and her parents’ surprise suggests that she is, day to day, largely invisible to them.
Aiming to win back support from the American’s, as many people did not support the Vietnam war due to the bad media that was publicised. This was the first War to be so publicised and it shocked many of the people back home. This lead to Anti-War protest, which became one of the US governments aims to stop. However they still stuck to the aim to try and contain Vietnam from the spread of communism and supporting the SV defeat the VC in nearby country Cambodia. On the other side the aims of the NV government and their terrorist organisation the VC did not alter as they still aimed to persuade the SV government to vote for Vietnam to become a communist country.

Because the American government openly supported the Christian Diem, the South Vietnamese were almost as against American involvement as the North Vietnamese by the time of the Tet Offensive. The Americans’ failure to keep the North Vietnamese at bay only added further tension between the United States and the people they were trying to help. Back in the U.S., protest was growing to the point that full engagement in Vietnam was becoming difficult. Opposition to the draft was an extremely crucial form of protest. Literally, “tens of thousands fled to Canada or Europe to avoid the draft” (Wills 29).
Furthermore, ordinary people like me have to struggle for our livelihood living in a militaristic country such as Burma because of factors like government terrorism. We have to struggle for our livelihood as the junta terrorizes us in every aspect leading us to fear our every move. Since my father could not accept the military government’s administration, he tried to oppose it as much as he could. Thus, when he decided to move to America in 2001, it was for political reasons as much as it was for economic reasons. That was the last I heard from him till 2004.
History and Issues of Mexican Immigration to the United States of America Jennifer Alfs Regis University Abstract The United States was founded and settled by immigrants from other countries seeking wealth and freedom from religious obligations. Even to this day, individuals from countries all over the globe, especially Mexico, have the hope and dream of moving to America in search of freedom from the devastated economies, natural disasters, and oppressive dictators in the countries they leave behind.

As citizens of the US, we have a right stated in the 1st amendment to be able to express our opinions; our values and beliefs should be directly represented through the voting process. Although future elections are predicted to be heavily influenced by this growing minority population, politicians are beginning to apprehend the negative brunt illegal immigration has bestowed upon our country as this could be a small factor in the current struggling economy. Congressman Tom Tancredo has vast prospective ideas on how to reform our immigration system. By working across the aisle a feasible and successful solution to the straining liability and encumbrances may be obtained to make our country incorrupt and hospitable to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness to the citizens of the United State of
They believe this was a right that they were given by our Four Fathers, which is clearly not true. Yes, they have the freedom of speech but when should the freedom be taken away? What about the rights of the innocent victims and their families? Hate crimes, because of their nature will always lead to violence and this is not a freedom that people should have. In my opinion, the penalties for hate crimes should continue to be more severe than that of a regular crime because so many innocent people are injured and even killed simply because they are different.
