This week's environmental controversy focuses on the question:
should Immigration into the US be reduced? Review the
background information. Then, using the References along with
resources from your own research, write a 1-2 page response to
the questions that follow. Remember to cite your sources using
proper APA format.
Background Information
Legal and illegal immigration into the United States is
discussed in your textbook. Advocates of liberal immigration
argue that both legal and illegal immigrants are needed to
perform difficult and low paying jobs that most citizens won't
take. Advocates also sympathize with immigrants because many
of them are fleeing poverty and tyranny in their homelands.
Immigrants pay taxes, help to support the US social security
system, and contribute to American society.
Opponents of immigration include individuals that want to ban
or significantly reduce all immigration, and those that simply
want more stringent efforts to end illegal immigration.
Opponents argue that current immigration policies and border
patrol methods are too lenient and allow terrorists to infiltrate
into the US.
References
Two short articles identified below have very different views on
the impacts of illegal immigration on state economies. Use
these references along with resources from your own research to
help answer the questions that follow.

Questions
How do the views presented in the articles differ? How does
illegal immigration both hurt and help state economies? Do you
feel that the author's of these two articles are ignoring each
others side, or is it possible that the Illinois economy is simply
better equipped to absorb illegal immigration? Before answering
this final question make sure to consider the affiliations of the
authors.
