Assignment #8

Should the United States have a more stringent immigration policy?

Watching Fox news one night, an interesting topic came up against  the political figures that were debating. The idea of illegal immigration and how other countries in Europe and in the middle east have been slowly stopping the problem. This raised my curiosity, bringing up my research question. Should the United States have a more stringent immigration policy? I really dont have alot of knowledge on this topic so i am very eager to do some research and find out. Most of the facts that i know come form the media, such as news and radio stations, however we all know how those facts are biased. I did do a double entry before in another class and i think they are great, just like in the last class this one also helped me pick my topic. I think it really makes you think more deeply about a topic that you might consider to write about. As far as research is concerned im worried about reading papers that are going to be extremely biased making my paper biased as well. Hopefully there are papers that are taking both sides, because i would like to explore why they should and shouldnt. my thesis coming in is that they should, but maybe at the end reading the neutral papers it all might change. My paper topic follows the criteria and some words that I may search with are US immigrant policy.

  1. This is certainly a relevant topic, but just make sure that you are able to sufficiently narrow it down so that you can cover it in-depth in 10 pages.
