States

What’s the advantage
• The advantages of illegal immigration are that:
– The immigrants can be hired for cheap labor
– They keep jobs for law enforcement
– Finally it keeps us from doing poor jobs
What’s the disadvantage
• Unfortunately there are problems with illegal
immigration:
– First, they might have a connection with drug
cartels
– Second, the 2nd generation of children will be
marked as illegal aliens
– Finally, several U.S. citizens claim that it is unfair.
Where do they come from
• When most people think of illegal immigrants
they think of Mexico and central America.
• However there are also other illegal
immigrants from all over the world.
• IE : Illegal Immigrants from Ireland, Italy,
Germany and Cuba.
What can we do?...
• Six years ago, the government along with a
group of farmers signed the AgJobs bill
• This bill stated that some 800000
undocumented immigrants who were already
in the United States would have to register
and pay a $400 fine to require for citizenship,
plus 3-5 years on agricultural jobs would make
them applicable for a Visa and a Green Card.
Where did the info come from?...
• There is a slight problem with scholarly and
unscholarly sources.
• Unscholarly sources include sites like
Wikipedia, because anybody can edit it.
• Either way it is clear to say that unscholarly
sources are clearly bias
Scholarly Sources
• Scholarly sources provide you with an
unbiased reliable source of information.
• Some scholarly sources one would consider
are News websites or library articles that are
online.
• Look for sites that primarily end in .edu for
library articles or .com for news websites.
• When looking at books you should check the
credibility & if it is peer reviewed
What’s the difference between Biased
and unbiased
• When an statement is considered biased, it is
stating an opinion of something
• When a statement is unbiased, then that
means that the statement is a fact.
• You typically want to read from the unbiased
sources. Otherwise it would be considered
unscholarly and typically not the best of
information.
Citing your sources
• Citing your sources is crucial to your MLA
format
• You must state your own ideas or you will be
caught for plagiarism.
• Here in college, being caught for plagiarism
can lead to academic dishonesty which
includes failing, the case goes on your
permanent record, suspension and expulsion
from the University.
Online sources
• Online sources are one of the best ways to get
information. In particular, news websites or
library websites.
