in several ways. Together with those of

on immigration, arguing that immigrants "threaten"
American life by creating unemployment by taking
jobs from American workers, using much-needed
social services, and encroaching on the "American

purpose of this paper is neither to support
communism over capitalism nor the reverse of that.
Rather, it is to inform the reader of communism's
migration through time and hopefully assist the
