The plight of American born children forced to reside outside of the United States because of their dependent and minority age statuses, begs the question of whether or not these children, if raised in third world countries like Mexico, Nicaragua, or Columbia, can ever achieve the promise of the American dream upon return to the United States, which has, in their absence, become foreign to them, and they foreign amongst their peer group? Gregory Rodriguez's (2008) book, Mongrels, Bastards, Orphans and Vagabonds, chronicles the history of the American campaign against illegal immigration, and the residual affects of that campaign on the U.S. born children of illegal immigrants who were deported with their young American-born children. This book, and other existing works and research on the statistical data associated with the deportation of American-born children will provide the basis for support of the thesis that children born in the U.S. are being, perhaps even illegally, deprived of their Constitutional rights as U.S. citizens. The research being proposed here will attempt to prove that these children are being deprived of legal representation that would foster their best interests as American citizens. The research being proposed here will examine whether or not there is a political link between the children being deported in order to appease voter bias.
The subject of immigration, especially that which moves daily across the Mexican-American border, is an emotional and tense issue, and one into which a new breath of life is breathed during every presidential election. There is no denying the economic impact of illegal immigration on the United States; it is a serious problem. This, however, does not make it acceptable to wreak potential economic havoc on a U.S. born citizen that is, on an individual level, just as economically devastating.
A two-year study conducted by the National Academy of Sciences found that Americans that illegal immigration does not have an "overall" impact on the U.S. economy, and had "little negative impact on the income and job opportunities of most native-born Americans (Simon, 1999, xxv)." Thusly, the impact that is made on the life of a native-born American forced to reside outside of the United States by virtue of the fact that his or her parent was deported, seems an

American Ideals and the Challenges of the post-WW2 Years America changed quite a bit after WW2. It changed with respect to gender roles, with respect to racial issues, with respect to the economy, and with respect to politics. Everything was in flux after WW2—but it did not happen all at once. What happened first was the Cold War. Immediately the war ended, Americans returned home from the war and returned to
History Of American Warfare The end of the American warfare marked the beginning of the way women were treated in the public and the domestic sphere. Women movements largely lobbied for equal rights, new women organizations, and the emergence of a new era of women photographers, artists and professionals, modified the traditional patriarchal social framework across the world. These social changes, which had been set in motion at the dawn of
Children and Television Television may be an almost universal feature on the domestic scene, however it is not sued I the same way by everyone who has access to a set (Gunter 1). The television set has become an integral piece of the household furniture, and practically every house has at least one set, if not more, which means that children are born into a world in which television is present

Alexander Hamilton carried on an affair with the wife of "a notorious political schemer," Maria Reynolds. Andrew Jackson married Rachel Jackson before her divorce from Lewis Robards was finalized and therefore was accused of marrying a married woman. Jackson's opponent in 1828, John Quincy Adams, was in turn accused of "corrupt bargaining" during his term. Jackson also championed Margaret O'Neill Timberlake, who married his secretary of war, John Eaton.
American Ethnic Culture What is an American? It is clear that Progressive era Americans from different backgrounds differentially defined precisely what being an American actually meant. Stephen Meyer wrote in the work entitled "Efforts at Americanization in the Industrial Workplace 1914-1921 that Americanization "…involved the social and cultural assimilation of immigrants into the mainstream of American life…" but that the process was of the nature that was comprised of "a unique and distinctly
