Whether you call it soccer or football (and with offices in Boston and Oxford, Credo calls it both), we'll help you get the all the scholarly information you need on this incredible world sporting event. The World Cup begins Thursday, June 12, so before sitting down to watch the games, why not kick it with these Topic Pages?

For as long as there have been borders, there have been discussions about immigration. With immigration topics ranging from national security to whether or not to deport Justin Bieber, this debate extends deeper into the heart of America than just her geopolitical boundaries. Will congress act to initiate meaningful immigration reform? Will wall contractors in Texas see a payday unheard of since China’s Qin Dynasty? Will Steve King (R-Iowa) introduce a bill to replace the Statue of Liberty’s torch with a No Vacancy sign? Time will tell. Meanwhile, take a break from cable news hosts’ and political candidates’ wild speculation and rhetoric with some scholarly insights into this age-old debate found on Credo’s Topic Pages.
