Immigration

The US has always been known as a land of opportunity. Immigrants have been encouraged to come to the US by the promise of a better life and more opportunities for people willing to work hard. Public opinion of immigration has swayed back and forth over time on how strict immigration laws needed to be. For the first decade of this century, the US has faced great social, political, and economic challenges that come with supporting and organizing a population that recently surpassed 300 million people. Some people believe that immigration should be slowed or stopped to save money and to prevent immigrants from “diluting” our national culture, while others argue that the cost is relatively low to support new immigrants and that our culture becomes “richer” through the diversity of the population. Should the US slow immigration into the country? Does the US have a moral obligation to help immigrants looking for a better life? What are the advantages and disadvantages of your position?

Obviously, the debate about immigration has heated up given Trump's generally xenophobic rhetorical and policy orientation. You may choose to write about immigration from another standpoint than what you see above. Go for it.
