U.S.A. : A 6 page paper on the Cuban and Haitian boat

paper then goes on to describe the different situation
encountered by the new Marielitos and the problems they
encounter in trying to assimilate into American society; a
society that frequently wishes they would be returned to
Cuba. Similar information is also examined with regard to
Haitian refugees and their own unique problems in
assimilating to American culture. Bibliography lists 6

poverty
in America and its impact on quite nearly every problem in

appropriate role of government in providing solutions to
these problems. Treating only the symptoms of poverty is
