Using the Library Resources

I used the library site to search for an article related to suburbs. The article that caught my eye was by USA Today-‘Crowded Houses Gaining Attention in Suburbs’. This article is a bit old, it was written in 2006. But it is still relevant in today’s world. The article talks about the overcrowding in the various suburbs of New York and Washington D.C. In the year 2006 police conducted raids many raids and basically kicked 200 Latinos from their homes in a New York Suburb. The immigration of the people has crowded up places like the New York Suburb and the suburbs of Washington D.C. This is one of the most pressing situations in America, a place for immigrants to stay as the influx of immigrants has not reduced in the past few years. This is also a very bad situation for the people coming from outside as now they do not have definite housing or security from getting kicked out. Furthermore the people have to also stay in more crowded places than they would like to live.

All I can say about this article is that it gave me a whole new perspective about the lives of immigrants in America (Basically the Latino population). And I can say, proudly, that Georgia Tech has one of the biggest and best library databases in the world.
