Abstract
The paper introduces and analyzes the topic of ethics in American business. Specifically, the paper discusses who should be punished for downloading illegal music. The paper argues against the practice and contends that downloading music online is illegal unless one pays for the music. The paper also contends that "down loaders" know the act is illegal, and choose to do it anyway, making it both legally and ethically wrong. The paper further contends that illegal downloads harm record companies and recording artists and violate the intellectual property rights of the individuals who created the song. The paper concludes that stealing music is like stealing someone's special creation, it is simply wrong, ethically, morally, and legally.
From the Paper
"In addition, stealing music is a known crime, and music companies have been filing suit against people for many years, making it common knowledge that downloading music is a crime. The Minnesota trial was the first lawsuit to make it all the way to trial, however. Downloaders paying thousands of dollars in fines to recording companies have settled all the other suits. In one case, recording companies sued the parents of two under-18-year-olds, and the parents eventually settled with the record company. In this case, since the children were not of legal age, the companies went for the people who owned the computers. However, in most normal cases, these would not be the people responsible, because anyone who owns a computer knows that you cannot control family members and friends 24 hours a day, 7 days a week when they are on the computer."

Abstract
This paper is an article review on three articles about why file sharing is so popular and how record companies can address this problem.
From the Paper
"According to an article by John Healey and Jeff Leeds in the Los Angeles Times, record companies are losing the battle to shape the public's definition of theft or violation of copyright laws. As a result, record companies are considering a desperate strategy aimed at increasing their chances of financial success. Record companies are planning to bombard students, parents, teenagers and other users of the Internet who illegally share or download copyrighted music with lawsuits, alleging millions of dollars in damages resulting from copyright violations."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that illegal immigration is one of the biggest controversies and highly debated issue in the United States of America. The writer maintains that the impact of illegal immigration on the U.S economy is omnipresent with the U.S economy falling while emerging economies are making significant progress. The writer notes that many economists believe that the illegal immigration into America is a kind of economic war being waged against the Americans. The law makers and the officials in the Government have taken notice of the growing impact of illegal immigrants on the U.S economy and have taken steps to amend the existing laws so as to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the United States of America. The writer discusses that apart from the economic impact, illegal immigration has brought with it other social, religious and security problems. The writer looks at the different faces of illegal immigration and its effects on Americans.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"One of the most profound impacts is the decrease in the wages of low skilled workers in America. Jobs that Americans refuse to take because of lower wages are now being taken up by illegal immigrants. This has resulted in unemployment among the Americans. American companies often prefer foreign workers who work harder for a lesser pay than the American citizens. This has lead to improper distribution of income and increased the gap between the rich and poor American citizens. Another reason why the American companies prefer foreign employees is both the employer and employee can easily escape from paying taxes to the Government. The undocumented workers do not pay their taxes. In the case of American employees the taxes are deducted from their pay roll. Although illegal immigrants increase the profits for their employers they hurt the American taxpayers. Since most of the illegal immigrants have low educational qualification and low skill level they are most employed for lower wages in poor working condition mostly in underworld economies. Hence the illegal immigrants easily evade the payment of taxes without their knowledge."

Illegal Immigration, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that for the United States, the main problem with illegal immigration is from Mexico because of the porous border between these countries. The author points out the problems with illegal immigrants are (1) that they work in the United States but they pay little or no taxes and yet receive the various benefits of citizens and legal immigrants, such as claiming unemployment compensation, resulting in an outflow of money but little or no inflow from income taxes for the U.S. government and (2) people associated or linked with terrorism seep into the United States through these porous boarders. The paper recommends that the resolution of the problem of illegal immigration requires (1) clarification of the law, (2) stricter enforcement necessitating sufficient funding for the border patrol force and (3) elimination of "birthright citizenship", which attracts illegal immigration because it offers any child born in the United States American citizen regardless of the citizenship or immigration status of his or her parents.
From the Paper
"Last year President Bush took some steps to solve this problem. In 2004, he planned to allow about eight million illegal immigrants to achieve a temporary work permit that would make their stay in the United States as legal. This was a bold step and many illegal immigrants actually want to become legal in the United States. So they would get their legal status while the country would receive its taxes from them. Moreover, this would bring a lot of illegal immigrant on record and would filter out any terrorists or people with other negative agendas. However, this would only solve the problem of the illegal immigrants who are already within the borders of the United States."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the events of September 11, 2001 and the continuing media reports of tens of millions of illegal immigrants being in the United States has not helped the position of those who want to immigrate and it has added fuel to the war on terrorism fires at home. This paper provides a review of the relevant literature to demonstrate several timely reasons why illegal immigrants who are already in the United States should be allowed to remain. The writer notes that this includes the enormous positive economic contributions of illegal immigrants and the exorbitant costs associated with identifying and deporting them. The writer also points out that migration is a natural survival technique and looks at the adverse effect that deporting illegal immigrants to the US would have on the nation's consciousness in view of America's longstanding legacy of welcoming dispossessed people.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Given its significance in national affairs, it is not surprising that there have been some conflicting reports concerning the economic impact of illegal immigrants on the country's economy. While the actual numbers are unknown, critics suggest that these illegal immigrants are stealing jobs away from American workers who would readily accept these jobs if they were available. For instance, Gresham reports that there are literally millions of illegal aliens in the United States today who are using false Social Security cards and numbers to secure legitimate and better-paying employment than many observers might believe. According to Gresham, the impact of these workers on the nation's middle class will be profound and will make the gap between the haves and have-nots even greater. In fact, this author maintains that left unresolved, this trend will ultimately result in an American middle class that will shrink from its present 65 percent to 70 percent of Americans and create a larger percentage of poor people than ever before in the country's history ..."

Illegal Immigration In America, 2008.
A discussion of some arguments from those who are for and against illegal immigration.

Abstract
This paper discusses the blocking of illegal immigration in the USA. The paper explains that the last few decades have seen a rise in the illegal immigrant population of the United States, and the line has been drawn in the sand between those against and those for illegal immigration. The writer suggests that before any discussion is made on whether we need more laws to combat illegal immigration, the question perhaps should be that existing laws should and must be implemented. The writer then points out that despite the existence of illegal immigration laws, the divide amongst the pros and the cons are still heavy. From the legal point of view, curbing illegal immigration should be done because it simply is against the law, and the moral point of view is otherwise and goes against the ethical principle of helping humanity.
From the Paper
"The United States has always been seen by most outsiders as the "land of milk and honey." Couple this with what they see in Hollywood movies as the "American dream." Indeed, the United States can be a land where one could fulfill your dreams and hopes. But like anything else, there are limits to how far dreams could be reached or how many could avail of that opportunity."

Abstract
This paper examines America's need to control illegal immigration to save jobs, save American tax dollars, and to slow down criminal activity. The writer discusses the huge costs involved in the medical care of illegal immigrants. The writer further explains that Illegal immigrants cost all Americans money by participating in programs funded by tax dollars. The writer points out that when illegal immigrants enter America, a portion of these people will promote illegal activities. The paper concludes that cheap labor costs cannot make up for the potential negative effects of illegal immigrants in the United States.
From the Paper
"Workers who reside in the United States legally can be beneficial to the economy. Illegal immigrants do little to help the economy and are usually a burden. Illegal immigrants take away jobs from Americans. These people cost everyone tax dollars by working tax free and taking up space in jails and hospitals. From the moment immigrants enter the country illegally, they promote criminal activity."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Republican National Committee began in June to run a television advertisement in California and 17 other states regarding the costs of illegal immigration. Democrats claimed the ad, based on a 1991 Backgrounder by the Center for Immigration Studies, contained a "blatant and demonstrable falsehood." The controversy is centered on the audio portion of the ad, which begins "Did you know there are over five million illegal immigrants in the U.S.? And that you spend five-and-a-half billion dollars a year to support them with welfare, food stamps, and other services." The cost figure is from "Estimated Annual Costs of Major Federal and State Services to Illegal Aliens" (Center for Immigration Studies Backgrounder 2-91), one of the first attempts to quantify the fiscal cost of illegal immigration. The paper estimated that the total cost of 13 major federal and state services to illegal aliens in 1990 was $5.5 billion. (This is a gross number; i.e., it does not attempt to balance fiscal costs with taxes paid by illegal aliens. Even in net terms, however, illegal aliens are acknowledged by all immigration researchers to be a drain on the public coffers.)"

Abstract
This paper takes an in-depth look at one of the most controversial issues in modern society, illegal immigration. The paper focuses on two main problems related to illegal immigration. The first issue that the paper reviews is whether or not American institutions of higher learning should admit illegal immigrants for study. The second problem is how these higher educational institutions should deal with the provision of financial aid to students who are illegal immigrants.

Introduction
Federal Admission Issues
State Admission Issues

Impact of In-State Tuition on Illegal Immigrant Enrollment
Scholarships
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Whatever the limitations of the current proposed legislation, it is important to understand that this legislation has not yet passed. In response to the federal uncertainty, several states have passed laws aimed at circumventing the Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. In fact, there are currently ten states, Texas, California, New York, Utah, Illinois, Washington, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas, which allow undocumented immigrants to obtain in-state tuition benefits. (Kantrowitz, 2006). These laws tie the payment of in-state tuition rates to attendance of in-state high schools for a certain number of years. In addition, some, but not all, schools in Georgia allow illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition rates. (Kantrowitz, 2006). Furthermore, several states have legislation pending, which would allow illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition rates. These states include Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, South Caroline, Tennessee, and Virginia. (Kantrowitz, 2006). Therefore, it is conceivable that within the next year half of all of the U.S. states will permit their public institutes of higher education to offer in-state tuition rates to undocumented immigrants. In fact, due to the number of states offering in-state tuition to illegal immigrants and the distribution of such immigrants within the United States, the present tuition picture for illegal immigrants is very promising. Currently "the majority of undocumented students in the U.S. can already count on paying the same tuition as the citizens who sit next to them in class." (Barbassa, 2006)."

From the Paper
"By the summer of 1993, the related issues of illegal immigration and immigration reform had become leading political questions, particularly in California. When President Clinton visited California in mid-1993, he and his aids were "stunned" by the number of questions they were asked about immigration (Lauter, 1993).
As the immigration reform issue reached the forefront of public consciousness, its politics became more complicated. on the one hand, independent 1992 presidential candidate Ross Perot, as part of an apparent attempt to align himself more closely with Republicans against the Clinton Administration, began speaking out in his public addresses about the real or supposed abuses committed by illegal immigrants--a theme not sounded during his 1992 presidential campaign (Barrett, 1993). On the other hand..."

Illegal Workers in the United States, 2007.
An examination of whether illegal workers help or hurt the American economy.

Abstract
This paper examines the problem of growing illegal immigration in the U.S.A, and looks at whether the illegal immigrants contribute to American society and economy. The paper explains that the real solutions to help control the flow of immigrants coming into the United States of America are the Real ID Act and Guest Worker Program which would provide a temporary status to foreigners in order for them to legally work in the United States, allowing them to come in legally, work
a certain amount of time and then go back to their country. The writer notes that the fence is useless because more and more illegal immigrants are coming into the country even with the border fence. The writer doesn't believe illegal immigrants really affect the jobs of Americans; they do the jobs no one wants, and in that way help the U.S economy, but believes that coming illegally into a country is a crime and it should not be tolerated.
From the Paper
"In March 2005, more than thirty five million immigrants lived on the American soil, legal and illegal. This number represents about 12 percent of the United States' total population and Mexico accounts for about eleven million of them. The states with the highest number of illegal immigrants are California, New York, Texas, Florida, New Jersey and Illinois (Center for Immigration Studies 1, 6, 8). The estimated number of illegal immigrants is between ten million people, and one-thousand-four-hundred arrive daily. According to Peter Katel, a CQ researcher staff member and former writer for Newsweek and Time magazines, it is estimated that 96 percent of the illegal men are employed, which represents four and a half million men and 5 percent or the nation's total workers (Online)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that there are more than 2.2 undocumented illegal immigrant drivers in California. The writer points out that they rallied with law enforcers, insurance companies and the religious sector in support of Senate Bill 1160 or the Immigrant Responsibility and Security Act. The writer explains that signed into law, this bill would allow undocumented immigrants to apply for a driver's license. The bill, authored by Senator Gil Cedillo, would allow illegal immigrants to secure a license by presenting a valid passport or identification issued by the consulate of the immigrant's country of origin. The writer discusses the arguments for and against such a bill. The writer mentions the belief that the bill would increase public safety, enhance a sense of responsibility and citizenship, and intensify homeland security by requiring applicants to undergo a criminal background check by the FBI against the terrorism watch list. The writer also explains that, according to surveys, 66% of non-Hispanic whites opposed the bill. This group believed that the bill would condone and encourage the violation of federal immigration law and induce and facilitate the commission of more crimes.

"Cedillo claimed that he had an agreement with the Governor that the latter would help pass a new law with additional security features, but that there would be no identifying markers for illegal immigrants. The Governor denied making any agreement with Cedillo. Instead, he maintained that markers were necessary for homeland security and to prevent terrorists from using a license to open a back account or enroll in flight schools. The license bill supporters argued that banks and airlines already accept consular identification cards. Many law enforcement leaders also claimed that a driver's license would enable them to track down illegal immigrants and that this would tend to result in fewer uninsured drivers and hit-and-run accidents. Conservative Republicans, however, countered that illegal immigrants had violated the law and must, therefore, be punished for it, not rewarded. They had begun taking steps towards a constitutional amendment, which would prohibit the grant of driver's licenses to illegal residents. They also worked for support for this initiative from voters in the March 2006 elections. Likewise, they accused the Governor of double dealing by requiring a marker but trying to keep the sympathy of Latinos."

From the Paper
"Governor Wilson commented that the border, which separates Mexico and Southern California are contoured to let a steady supply of illegal immigrants into the US (Hanson 1994). That border is porous enough to make the passage easy and frequent, like every day. These illegal aliens come to the US mainland to work, to study or even to commit crimes. In reaction to Medi-Cal-connected frauds, Governor Wilson increased the number of investigators from 66 to 101. Many of those crossing the border had no birth certificate, no Social Security number or any other identification. This made the job of fraud investigators quite difficult. But what was really frustrating about the policy was that many of the services secured or given these undocumented aliens were not available to legal residents themselves. Yet these federal policies were sustained by taxpayers' money. There was indication of bipartisan support for the initiative in California."

"Sheila Jackson Lee and Robert Byrd are both members of the U S Congress. Both are members of the Democratic Party, but Lee has taken a stance in favor of granting amnesty to certain groups of illegal immigrants, whereas Byrd holds the opposite position and argues that amnesty ultimately leads to an increase in illegal immigration in that it encourages others to attempt to secure U S residency and citizenship by circumventing the legal processes developed for this purpose. Lee, in contrast argues from..."
