Answer 1

Miss Manners, popular columnist on the subject of etiquette, always said you can tell a lot about the real agenda by looking at the activities the rules forbid. For example, consider the following two recommendations by a Canadian govt committe on immigration policy at the CIC website http://www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/resources/publications/response/competing.asp:

Recommendation 50
The various bodies regulating trade and professional accreditation in Canada should be encouraged to work together to address issues of foreign education and skills assessment.

Response: The government is committed to making progress on this issue as illustrated in its 2002 Speech from the Throne and the discussion papers released in February 2002 as part of Canada's Innovation Strategy--Knowledge Matters and Achieving Excellence. These strategies commit the government to working in partnership with the provinces and territories and key stakeholders to develop fair, transparent and consistent processes to assess and recognize foreign qualifications before and after the immigrant's arrival.

Recommendation 51
The recognition of foreign credentials should be given priority when the federal, provincial and territorial ministers of immigration meet later this year. Partnerships between the federal, provincial and territorial governments, and the licensing bodies, should be pursued.

Response: The government intends to hold discussions on the barriers to successful integration as part of its Innovation Strategy. The government is committed to working in partnership with the provinces and territories and key stakeholders to develop fair, transparent and consistent processes to assess and recognize foreign qualifications before and after an immigrant's arrival. The government intends to hold discussions on the barriers to successful integration as part of its Innovation Strategy engagement activities with stakeholders, including regulatory bodies, and with the provinces and territories.

What you can take from this is that Canada lies to immigrants about what they can expect in the way of jobs when they come to this fabulous, icy banana republic. What we have as a result of this nonsense is a labor force in which pediatric surgeons from Eastern Europe (where they still HAVE not just decent but good public education) are lucky to get jobs selling cosmetics, where your taxi driver is really a genius IT whiz from India.

Go get 'em, tiger!

Answer 2

You could do a segment clarifying that "migration" simply means movement where "immigration" implies the presence of justice, law and order.

Throughout history, every dispute over territory led to either armed or unarmed conflict...usually 'armed'. Without acception, all regions of the world had certain groupes of people that were known for incessantly routing peaceful ones to pilfer their legitimately-gathered resources.

As written law became prevalent, warring factions, growing tired of the loss of life and property, saw the superiority of contracts (or: agreements) over armed conflict to resolve disputes concerning territory and ownership.

Ignoring/breaking those agreements would mean a return to the days of gruesome, barbaric conflict. Respecting them meant acknowledging boundaries and exercising the self-discipline not to violate them.

If a person wanted to live in a territory other than his/her own, s/he had no way of doing so until another concept arose: the admission of new-comers from foreign territories...i.e. "immigration".

Much of the argument over illegal immigration today seems center on the notion by some (contested by others) that permitting immigrants means dissolving any laws or concerns over boundaries. For that notion to be correct, there can be no such term as "immigration."

Instead, all writing, all written law, all notions of agreements and the need for boundaries would have to be deemed unnecessary. But for such an idea to gain acceptance, all persons affected would have to first accept that the historic tendency toward human conflict has been overcome; that our nature has somehow evolved to a degree unthinkable only a century or so ago.

On the other hand, to contest the notion would mean that no such evolutionary leap has taken place and that we, as humans, are just as affected by our sense of need and ownership, of protection and security as at any point in our history. It would mean accepting that we are still mortal; that we have faults and make mistakes.

So, immigration is lawful or it is not immigration at all. The notion of open-borders implies that law is obsolete because humanity has experienced a developmental, physio-psychological leap that has (1) enabled us to sense - without error - the exact needs and desires of all others, and (2) stripped us of the self-will to follow our own needs.

To accept that notion will require proof that, as yet, I have seen no hint of.

Answer 3

You could do an essay on the differences between legal immigration and illegal immigration and the differences between the kind of person would immigrate legally or illegally. I think people are interested in hearing about that.

Answer 4

Do an essay on the trends of immigration and how every so many years a group of people from one area migrates to another area.

Answer 5

Maybe your topic is too broad. If you break it down, you might be able to get started. How about 'the effects of immigration on American hospitals, or schools'? Or "How to become a citizen of America" or "Famous Immigrants and their Contributions to America". Hope this helps.

Answer 6

Yeah, do an essay about famous Americans who started out as immigrants and the contributions they made to our society.

Here, this is a good starting point.

Keep an open mind. We're all immigrants or related to them unless we're Indians.

Answer 7

This is not a good place for that.

But you can browse thru past Q+A here, use Search Engine against discussion groups ... there's lots of stuff out there.

Answer 8

google "immigration gumballs" or goto numbersusa.com for the arguments opposed to immigration

wiki would have sites listed for pro immigration.

Answer 9

Illegal immigration is one of the hottest topics today! Perhaps you can discuss pros and cons of illegal immigration in the US. Have fun!

Answer 10

Find a way to ship all the illegal back to Mececo and you will be awarded a PhD. by anglo and black americans. Right on.
