Who: President Obama

What: Details the action of Obama's immigration executive order

When: November 20th, 2014

Where: United States

Why: This matters because we have millions of people who are living illegally in our country. Some of these people are criminals, but some of them are families. Our broken immigration policy must be fixed for the well-being of the United States of America.

What: The article details the effects on the economy from the executive order

When: Nov 20th-present

Where: United States

Why: This article details how this action will affect our economy in the times to come referencing the actions taken by Ronald Reagan in 1986

This article tells us how this is going to hurt lower wage workers as they are now going to have to compete with these people for work. This hurts the people who supported Obama in his elections.

what: This article comes from an immigrant who applied for legal immigration himself stating his claim on the negatives of allowing illegals to remain in the country.

where: United States

When: Nov 19, 2014

Why: This shows the ideas behind the people who have gained citizenship legally. He expresses his disgust and how he feels its unfair.

This article shows a con not commonly thought of, that is how the people working for the government processing applications of citizenship are already far behind. By allowing these people to stay it adds to the job of these people far more. Yes, this article has a bias. It comes from a person who has gained citizenship the hard way, the right way. He is angered because after years of struggling with paperwork, he sees millions granted relief, while he himself struggled greatly. A fair point and bias in my eyes. Kinda like seeing someone get an A on a test they cheated on, you feel me??

Honestly, I couldn't not use this. I'm sorry for the immaturity, but that was one of the funniest things I've read in some time. But, the meaning behind it is a little more profound than "cheerleader sex." The truth of the matter is that families come to this country seeking a better life for their future kids or the kids that they already have. It is perfectly relatable toward the subject in the sense that it supports the idea of illegal immigration because it creates a better life for their children. After all, most parents want to see their children have a better chance of success than they were granted. Many of these adults were born into poverty. They came to the United States for unselfish reasons. While I don't support it, you have to look at all perspectives in order to draft a good argument.

I fully agree. That is an AMAZING quote! It actually made me laugh a bit! I agree with the points you brought when discussing it. Like it or not, America IS a shining beacon in the darkened world that we live in. I believe that we need to actually start living up to that reputation. People come to US because they have hope and dreams for a better life. Is it OUR choice to take that from them?
