Discuss
the issue of immigration and its consequences.
Specifically, 1) how many immigrants come to the U.S. each year and what
countries do they come from, 2) why do they come to the U.S., 3) what cities do
they settle in and where do they work, 4) are they a positive impact on the
economy or a negative impact, and 5) are they a drain on public services like
opponents of say. You should have at
least 8 references.
Note on references. Legitimate reference resources include scholarly
journals/articles, books, data cited from databases (i.e., U.S. Census), and
government reports (i.e., United States General Accountability Office). You may include personal or telephone
interviews with relevant stakeholders.
Citations from Internet sources that are merely web pages constructed by
individuals airing their personal views are unacceptable sources. However, legitimate websites accessing
refereed academic journals/reports (i.e., articles published in The Urban Institute,
Journal of Urban Affairs, etc.) are legitimate resources. One way to determine
if a website is acceptable or not is to ask yourself, “If the Internet did not
exist, would I be able to find this article in the university library?”
Newspaper or magazine articles may be used for this assignment provided they
are in-depth articles on the issue, and not just commentaries or
editorials.
Please use American Psychological Association (APA) style guidelines to cite sources in body of your text, and to reference
your sources in the bibliography. If you need additional guidance regarding how
to construct a research paper, please refer to the link, “citing your sources”
on the Oviatt library’s homepage.
