It’s a nightmare. For those that are living in poverty, but still put in over forty hours of work a week, the American Dream is a haunting reminder of how others get to enjoy their money. The working poor only get to struggle to maintain enough money to get through each day. There is no planning a vacation off of minimum wage, no such thing as a good or even a proper education. For those that live in poverty, working hard to achieve a goal means to work as much as you can so you can have electricity for the month or a decent meal.
More adults looking for work just makes the problem worse. Not saying that the illegals are necessarily “taking” the jobs from Americans, it is just making it hard for anyone to find a job because the U.S. is growing in population, therefore making jobs scarce. If more immigrants came, the population would grow to a higher extent, making it even harder for anyone to find work. More U.S. citizens would be unemployed, because the immigrants are taking up a great portion of the population. I think that we should grant the illegals that already live here citizenship, then close the borders.
Angie and Jack would hangout at least every night if Angie got lucky,but one day Angie's friend Toni called and asked if she would like to out on a Saturday night to catch up on stuff since he was in town.Well when Angie and Toni went out to get another Coke of course since it is a small town news gets around fast and the news got to Jack.Jack is the one who introduced Toni to Angie before in highschool and Jack knows he's a fast guy.After that night when Angie went to go hang with Toni,Jack stopped calling for some odd reason.Angie got a little curious on why he hasn't called.Man,if I ever felt that way it would be like some chiseling away at my heart every time beats.After that indecent she calls up lily who is going out with Fitz(Jack's best friend) and asked "Hey do you know what's going on with Jack"?Lily answered in a Psh you didn't know?me tone saying "You didn't hear?Jane Randy has been telling everyone that her and Jack got back together and since Jack heard that you and Toni went out the other night he really didn't
In America today, the issue of immigration is a cause for debate. Families that decide to flee their typically poverty-stricken countries in search of the ‘American Dream’ of opportunity, are forced to pick up unwanted and exhausting jobs that pay next to nothing, often way below minimum wage. Although this human exploitation seems unethical, the illegality of immigrant workers leaves them with no choice but to take whatever it is they get. Consequently, employers acquire a hard worker for next-to-nothing wages, which is clear reasoning for the sheer amount of immigrant workers in America. Recognized as taking the “dirty jobs”, the many skilled labour workers are fundamental to the smooth running of the country and ironically, without them, America’s rich economy would crumble.
Back in the day, students used their long summer break for its original purpose which was to help their parents harvest crops on the farm. But students today now use the time to hang around the house or go to summer camps instead. The traditional nine-month calendar made sense for life hundreds of years ago, but it is long outdated. Life today has far too much to learn and retain that creating such a large gap in one spot for summer is causing wasted time reviewing subjects that would not be forgotten with a multi-track system. One of the biggest reasons that children and parents do not want year-round schooling is because they do not fully understand what it would actually be like.
This was the first hurdle the Irish had to face on their migration. When into America the Irish settled into the lowest rung of society and waged a daily battle for survival. Although this would have been a very hard way to make life better it was still better than being home where they would have surely died. In this sense it was a forced migration but as no one was physically moving them just life was getting made impossible by land and property owners because they were not getting their rent or dues because of the failed crop it could be seen as a volunteered migration. Mainly all of the immigrants that went to America settled in New York and Boston in the east but some did go further west to cities like Cincinnati, Chicago, and San Francisco.
Any additional raise of minimum wage would totally jeopardize the everyday lives of all Americans. The fewer jobs available, because of the pay hike, will mainly be the cause of the lower class workers’ unemployment. Simply, the minimum wage debate is a touchy subject among many economists and political figures. There are an immense amount of arguments toward the good and bad aspects of minimum wage, but one incontrovertible fact is that a minimum wage elevation causes loss for businesses, as well as, working people. The larger businesses try to make things seem more at ease than they truly are.
It doesn’t seem like the government is doing much to fix the situation. They make a lot of promises they can’t keep. The government is made up of mostly wealthy Americans who can’t relate to the troubles that face average people. The problem is nationwide. There are so many people out of work and struggling to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table and it’s difficult to hear about these wealthy executives
It shows that some countries may have high work efficiency or better ways of working. However, one statement that caught my attention was “And anyone who has been unemployed knows the only thing worse than working is not working at all.” This is not true for all Americans. A lot of Americans are living off of welfare and I feel that it is not helping them for their future or hours. Many have become used to getting checks through the mail to live off of and they don’t want to try getting a
Many people work hard for years to become a citizen and some don’t even become a citizen. They also take jobs away from United States citizens because they work for less. The average American working man is the one who is taking the biggest hit for illegal immigration. In tough economic times, we cannot afford to pay for non-citizens let alone are citizens. The United States of America pays _______
