Answer 1

All the numbers you will ever need on illegal immigrants. Most other resources are questionable.

Answer 2

If the illegal immigrant population is a benefit or hindrance. The hot topic is, do illegals harm or help the economy. The data is varied and somewhat biased. When you do your research, make sure you note who sponsored the research you are reviewing, that will determine the "skew" of the facts. I'd be interested in the results myself. You could also research the cost of enforcement of the immigrations laws vs the cost of "amnesty" and what the reality of both options cost the country. That might even get you governmental notice if you do your research correctly.

Answer 3

Is the paper supposed to be neutral or are you supposed to pick a side?

Here is a website on illegal immigration, but the site is against it.

Here is a site specifically about Mexican immigration. They have other information there too.

Answer 4

Why are you only doing it on Mexicans? There are 10 million illegal immigrants here from Europe!

But I will help you anyway
1. They do the jobs that Americans refuse to do.
2. We have longer lasting marriages because we believe in family.
3. We like to have lots of children because of the family thing again. And if having a baby in the US helps us all stay together, that is just icing on the cake.
4. Some of us want citizenship but a lot of us want US money to take back to Mexico.
5. I don't know what a work visa is. They don't give them out to illegals.
6. We are going to be legalized and get amnesty very soon.
7. They are all racists.
