The United States of America Although a country of immigrants, it is not very pro-immigration.

Assignment Requirements:

1. Topic Selection:

   • I chose the topic of immigration because it is still controversial. The government and 
   • the United States citizens are divided on whether immigrants strengthen or harm the 
   • nation. Immigrants built this nation, so it shouldn’t be looked down on or 
   • villainized. Recently, republicans have done whatever is necessary to stop immigrants 
   • from entering the United States, and many have used that as their campaign slogan to 
   • gain Americans’s votes 

2. Research:

   • Ensure you understand the topic thoroughly. You should have enough data and background information to provide a comprehensive viewpoint.
   • Cite reputable sources if you include specific statistics or facts.

3. Content:

   • Introduction: Clearly state the issue and why it’s relevant to the intended audience. 
   • Capture the reader’s attention.
   • Body: Present your perspective, backed by reasons and evidence. Address counterarguments where appropriate. Your voice and viewpoint should be clear.
   • Conclusion: Sum up your perspective and suggest possible solutions or call to action.

4. Tone and Style:

   • Your op-ed should be persuasive and aim to provoke thought or action.
   • Use concise and clear language. Avoid jargon unless you’re writing for a specialized audience.
   • You can utilize personal anecdotes if they are relevant and add value to your argument.

5. Formatting:

• The op-ed should be no more than 1000 words.

• or hyperlinks (as appropriate for the medium of submission).
