The rate of criminalized often it is associate with illegal substances known as drugs, when the government considered illegal increases the chance that your market is more interesting for the antisocial, and that legalizing this plant will reduce traffic index harmful products illegally, because although the common cigarette is also a substance harmful to health, which is legal does not cause anti-social problems in society.

Migration Advantages

     Migration is a contentious topic, but for us it has three main advantages. The first advantage is that immigrants do jobs that local people are not willing to take, for example we know of several foreigners in our towns working in agriculture and construction. The second advantage is the cultural integration which increases diversity as the different foods; like “pupusas” from El Salvador and the “nacatamal” from Nicaragua, also the language is enriched because each country has its own forms of expression for example people in Costa Rica use the word “mae” to refer to another person and in  Panama they use “pana”. The most  important advantage for us is the economic aspect, it significantly improves the income of the country, according to a study by CATO Institute which says that migratory legalization will cause $ 180 000 millons in benefits for American families. To sum up, we believe that although migration is a contentious topic it has many advantages which we  agree with.
