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.

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.
