I bought a stock of AE which was a good investment because there is a demand in the product.

I bought a stock of Potbelly Corporation which was a bad investment which isn't a big corporation and not popular.

Chapter 21 Notes

Section 4

The 14th Amendment (1868) was the first constitutional definition - "All persons born or naturalized in the U.S. and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the US
The constitution declares that a person
90% of Americans are citizens by birth.
United States V. Wong Kim Ark; 1898: Wong Kim Ark was born in
Wong Kim Ark sued- the Supreme Court sided with him because he was in fact born in the U.S.
Naturalization- legal process by which a person can become a citizen of another country at some time after birth. CONGRESS has EXCLUSIVE power to provide for naturalization.
Naturalization is done individually - a person chooses to go through the process.
Collective Naturalization- entire groups can be granted citizenship through en masse. This happens when the U.S. gains a new territory- naturalized by an act or treaty.
Every American citizen has the right to voluntarily abandon his/her citizenship: this is called Expatriation.
It is unconstitutional for Congress to take away a persons citizenship based in something he/she has done. Naturalized citizens CAN lose their citizenship through fraud or deception.
Marriage does not make a person a "citizen"- only shortens the time of the naturalization process.
Congress has exclusive power to regulate the crossing of this nations border: inward & outward.
Quotas for immigration began to exist: limits the number of people allowed in the US.
Immigration Act of 1965- did away with the quota system- preference given to immediate family of current American citizens.
Immigration act of 1990- governs the admission of aliens into the U.S. give those with occupational talents.
Some perople are denied entrance based on their characteristics: criminals, mentally ill who might harm others..
Deportation- legal process by which aliens are required to leave the country.
Biggest reasons for deportation: illegal immigrant, conviction of a serious crime.

These actions could make it easier for some workers to find out how much their colleagues are making. This is dubbed as "Equal Pay Day" to make sure that women earn equal pay the same as man. This will only apply to those companies with federal contracts.
