Imperialism is the belief that it i desirable to  extend country's influence though any means such as trade, diplomacy, and military conquest.   If you did not, other countries would and chock off your resources. You could not expand and maintain your economy,\n\nThis was the time of the JP Morgan and other Industrialist.

Can you justify the logic of establishing a country based on the Bible?\n This smells like homework.

It doesnt really matter if you are for or against it. It is only going to happen at an increasing rate as countries like China and India continue to expand their economies. For those that just take the attitude that think it is a bad thing, you are going to be left behind. You would be much better off to understand it and become part of it.

Yes. We should've taken over Canada and Mexico when we had the chance.  Manifest destiny, baby... BOOYAH!\n\nqutab_afghan: Insha Allah this [grabbing my crotch], douchebag!

If you are talking the first years of the 20th century, Theodore Roosevelt dramatically expanded the role of US power on a global basis. He sent out the "Great White Fleet" as an example of American military power.\nBefore 1900, the United States had kept pretty much within this hemisphere; we protected our economic interests in Latin America, but let Europe run most of the rest of the world.\nThe US began to expand its global reach starting in 1900. It didn't reach full superpower status until after World War II, but TR laid the groundwork for it to happen.

How many reasons do you want?\n  - O I L\n  - Morality.  We're the richest/strongest. shouldn't we help others as well as ourselves?\n  - We want some of what they have (resources such as titanium, diamonds, etc. that are not found in the USA)\n  - To support friendly countries in areas where there are many UN-friendly countires\n  - etc, etc, etc.\nFact is that we are part of a world that technology keeps making smaller and smaller, and while isolationist policies may have helped us in the past, those policies have not worked since WWI and the beginning of the idustrial revolution.

The subjugation of Native Americans and the spirit of Manifest Destiny combined in the U.S.'s westward expansion.  The Brits were the biggies in imperialism; the U.S. stuck mainly to it's own continent and drove westward.  Hope this is a starting place for your paper.

I have this to add:\n\nPlease go back to your country in peace and help make it a better place for you and YOUR country-men. Please, the US cannot handle the population growth.\n\nThank you.

Long before any of those.  Check out what Mark Twain wrote about the US action in Cuba and the Philippines, way back in 1901.  Or Washington Irving on the treatment of the Native Americans.  It's been going on a long time.  (And no, I'm not saying that we Europeans are any better.)

Some of the reasons are for a better life, but migration began long before the 90's, and include Texas. Thier most valid reason (they say) is to claim the land they were forced from, do a little research on Google on Hispanic migration to the west

There wasn't much of a coherent argument. People were scared because of the Panic of 1893 that the US was running out of natural resources and capital, and businesses feared that they would need to have new land to be able to be competitive in the industrial world. The actual expansion that took place was justified by accusations that Spain was abusing its colonies, and so we had a moral obligation to come to their aid, but that's clearly not why we went to war with Spain.

Many reasons.  There was oppression and famine in europe.  The US relaxed it's policy on immigration.  There were jobs to be had in the US.

The site is open to the world, and there is plenty of evidence to show people outside the borders of the USA are using it. It's true, the world exists outside the borders of the USA! ;-)

You're question is ludicrous. Of course the US should allow people into the country, even if they are known for having large families. Can the US support a growing population? Have you been to the midwest? We have room to expand tremendously. \n\nI'm sensing a whole bunch of steaming anti-catholic dogma here.

US economy will increase with following advantages:\n\n1. Fine of 2000 dollars for two million people.  Lot of money!!\n2. We will get tax for last five years, and also for next ten years.\n3. Price for apples will stay same.  Price to cut grass will stay same.  Home prices (construction) will stay same.\n\nRepublicans argue that what is the gurentee that another million will not come to US?\n\nI want to ask them what is the gurentee that woman won't be raped after imposing tough laws?  what is the gurentee that murder won't happen?\n\nIf god can't give gurentee of that, who are you to ask for alien's gurentee?\n\nBackground check must be done to identify criminals.  US has more advatage that aliens.\n\nGuest-worker is a good program, but conservtatives want votes, so they will never approve it.

In a nutshell:  While the United States was fulfilling their belief in Manifest Destiny and expanding westward, arguments arose over whether slavery should be allowed or banned in new territories.  Southern states felt that it was a question of popular sovereignty -- literally that the people should decide.  When the decision was settled by compromises reached in Congress, tempers began to really flare.  Eventually, the southern states chose to secede, citing states' rights issues.
