Building A Border Wall Between Mexico And The United States
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. There was a time when ample room and welcoming attitudes ushered in immigrants whereby the United States of America could house, feed, employ, educate and medically tend to the wayward masses. However, times have changed and there are barely enough resources to benefit American citizens whose country is being overrun by undocumented aliens sneaking past border patrol. The presence of a physical barrier to more effectively prevent border crossing will significantly help stop the rising social and economic impact of immigrants using national services such as health care and education to which they are not entitled.

Burlington Northern Railway: Fair Settlement In Genetic Testing Lawsuit?
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The hotly debated topic of genetic testing continues to expand beyond current boundaries with the precedent-setting U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF). While genetic testing has crept its way into the semi-socially acceptable range of such areas as detecting birth defects, it in no way has been - or will ever be - considered within appropriate legal or ethical limits to incorporate it into the workplace. BNSF learned this lesson the hard way after it was sued for genetically testing thirty-six employees who all had filed claims of carpal tunnel syndrome. Justifying the company's action as trying to protect against claims made by those who may have been genetically predisposed to this particular condition, railroad representatives only admitted they were wrong only after their actions were discovered. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Business Law in the US and in Australia
[ send me this paper ]

law in these two nations. Ideologically, there is little difference between US and Australian

California Criminal Law: Three Strikes Statute
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. California's three strikes statute incorporates many elements beyond the obvious attempt to get drug users off the streets.
