Debate About Immigration

Please ensure to use all the resources provided external resources can be used as well. Ensure that the resources that are placed on the Reference page are actually cited within the assignment with proper APA format.

Assignment: Write a 3- to 4-page essay using at least 3 of the following sources as well as several interviews with people who represent the various political positions on the issue. If you like, you may use other sources, preferably articles from reputable magazines and newspapers, like The Guardian, The New York Times, and The Wall

Street Journal.

You don’t have to take a position, though you are welcome to if you wish—just be sure to marshal some evidence to support your view. Either way—staying neutral or offering your opinion—your essay needs to shed light on the complex motivations and concerns of proponents and opponents of immigration. Why do people feel the way they do? Why do they get so passionate about immigration? Discuss 3 or 4 related issues, one per paragraph at minimum. (If you have more to say about a particular issue, feel free to extend your discussion to multiple paragraphs.) Make sure each paragraph uses information from a source.

Below are titles of articles and web sites where you will find good sources for this assignment as well as jumping-off points for deeper exploration. I was able to find these by entering the title and author/agency into Google and clicking through to the site or the article. You should have similar results.
