Research suggests that legal immigrants commit less crime than native-born citizens, but despite this evidence there are discrepancies in how the criminal justice system punishes both groups, leaving legal immigrants to be punished more severely than native-born citizens. Many believe that legal immigrants, particularly minority groups, are not only a threat to society, but they are said to increase crime in the United States (Wang, 2012). Research by D. Sohoni and T.

Part 1: Overview of the period Fuller Fuller wanted women to have equal rights. In the book, it says “as men become aware that few men have had a fair chance, they are inclined to say that no women have had a fair chance,” (pg. 596), showing that men think less of women. She uses logos when she says, "The cross here as elsewhere, has been planted only to be blasphemed by cruelty and fraud.
