Reese Traver Global Issues Dr. Wilson 29 March 2012 Doctors Without Borders There are many immigrants that come into this country, some legally and some illegally, and work hard to make a living for them and their families back home from the country they immigrated from. Unlike some Americans who think everything should be handed to them on a silver platter without any work or effort, some immigrants come The United States seeking a better future, education, and a means of helping their families back home by sending remittances. After receiving an education, some immigrants immigrate back to their home country to share their experiences and knowledge to better off the people. Not all immigrants, however, leave the US and return to their
Four of the policy choices that Mayor Schell made as part of the strategy for the homeless were: • Maintaining the shelter capacity not increasing it. Each year there were thousands of homeless people that were turned away due to the lack of space. By doing this it would allow for the resources to be available to other services therefore helping to improve the programs for the homeless (The Electronic Hallway). • Help people regain long-term stability. Mayor Schell knew that being in a homeless facility was only short-term fix.
With construction of new homes still not picking up people have turned to remodeling their existing homes. Home Depot’s stock price was at $69.05 at the close of last week 3/07/13. The 52 week high was $71.45 and the 52-week low was at $46.37. So I’m not sure I would buy Home Depot’s stock right now when it is so close to the 52-week.

Since I have no previous work experience I will basically be pulled out of the running for the job, because they would rather hirer a person that is over qualified if they are paying you $13 to work for them. Also, the increase in minimum wage affects my community, because right across the street from Norridge is Chicago. In Chicago there are a lot of small business (230,642 to be exact) and those small business may already have trouble getting by.

So by making them pay their workers more may just make them close down.
Renia Laguerre Dr. Stephenson Psychology of culture “Crossing Over” The issues and challenges that immigrants and refugees go through are, being able to be a citizen in the United States, obtaining a residential card, and the process of receiving a green card or visa while in their country. Many groups are forced to move to another country because of war and oppression, and many decide to move for better living. The ones who are forced do not have a plan on where to live or where to go.
