Does anyone have ideas for topics on immigration for a research paper?

Question

I have to write a research paper on illegal immigration, and I am having trouble coming up with topics to research. It has to be both points of view, for and against, and I have been racking my brain for over a week, and can not come up with nothing. So if anyone has any ideas, I would be very gratefull for any advice. Thank You!

Answer 1

I find the Cuban 'wet-feet, dry-feet' policy very interesting

Answer 2

Are you for or against? You didn't mention that. I don't mind immigrants as America is a land of immigrants. I mean that every one of us has a heritage in another country. My family came from Canada. I only wish that ppl would be decent and come here legally. what is the big deal with becoming legal? Is there something that would stop them or stand in the way of becoming legal? Or do they just want to live here with all the rights and none of the responsiblity? But you could say that we can't take care of the world. You could say 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do' That they should get jobs, pay taxes, and struggle like the rest of us. They shouldn't get off easy becuase they were born in another country. For example many ppl live here, pay taxes, ect. and aren't entitled to even HALF of the benfits that illegals get. If they want this country so bad, why not do it legally? If their own country is as bad as they claim why not become legal? If their country is really as bad as they claim, how do so many stay there without complaint? Many from America go to other countries to live with those laws. I am not totally happy with everything my country leaders do, but...I still stay. Illegals want to come and get the benefits at our expense! They have no health insurance.. so if one should get sick and need medical care.. who pays? Americans! Other countries have this same problem. It is not unique to America. So one would ask, why America over some other country? What does America offer that others do not? I also heard on CNN that Bush now wants to give all illegals social security benefits and they only have to earn 1/2 the credits that the rest of us do!
