Thesis Statement About Immigration
Subject: Immigration
Thesis/Argument:
America is a nation that was built on immigration. Therefore, encouraging rather than convicting illegal immigrants would be a positive factor in the contribution to the United States.
So What?
I, as a Mexican-America, came from immigration. Understanding the importance and assets of legalizing immigrants who hold a clean and productive record benefits us all. Immigration promotes the increasing development of knowledge, people, and goods across national boundaries. Immigration is an ongoing controversy that is continually being debated with no resolution in sight. Intended audiences should be people of immigration background, people interested in the benefits of immigration, and people who want to learn more about immigration.

I am not 100% sure how I will present my material yet, but I do know what kind of information I want to incorporate.
I do want to add how close we were to achieving an immigration reform bill with the documentary, Immigration Battle. There are some things I will need to define from the documentary. An example, I would most likely have to explain what a whip count is and how it almost changed the immigration law, or lack thereof. I would have to explain why certain people in the documentary are important or why others outside the documentary are of great importance to immigration. So in short, possibly give a brief history in the persons’ contribution to immigration. My paper will have anecdotal evidence to help contribute to either the struggle an immigrant may have gone through to obtain citizenship, or an anecdotal of an immigrant surviving in the states under the radar. I want to incorporate opposing viewpoints so the reader can understand I don’t have a bias opinion, simply because of my race and history with the
topic.
Graphs or Charts:
Will not incorporate into paper unless it is absolutely necessary.
Sources:
As far as I am concerned, I currently have 4 reliable sources at hand. The documentary, Immigration Battle, will help the reader understand politicians’ advocacy towards immigration and how close we were to having an immigration reform bill. Another source I will try to incorporate will be the interview I will be conducting with a friend who works with illegal immigrants that are in the process of obtaining citizenship. Her stories, her point of view, and her prospective in regards to the current immigration situation. I want to somehow include the speech President Obama gave after Congress failed to produce a bill. I don’t believe the media is a reliable source, so I will try not to include them in my paper. Lastly, there are published articles I want to touch base with, but I am still filtering though them.
