Outline Argumentative Essay

Introduction: Every year, thousands of immigrants, from around the world, come into

the U.S. Most of the immigrants come by illegal ways such as passing the south border or using

their tourist visa and stay longer than the time that they say they will stay. Nevertheless, many

people in the U.S dont know the motivation of the immigrants. The purpose of this topic is to

show why immigrants come to the United States and what are their benefits and not benefits that

immigrants give to the country. It is crucial to be aware of why there is more immigration in the

United States and to spread good information of this topic to all Americans, so they can help this

immigrant people without creating hate and fear among this community. Before drawing

conclusion on this topic, it is important to comprehend, why immigrants come to the U.S, so

Americans can consider the probable solutions, of how dealing with immigration without

spreading families apart.

I. Topic Sentence: Immigration has always been in the U.S history from the begging of

the country until today, and the impact in the America is big and we can see in the recent years.

A. On July 2016, the population of the immigrants was around 43.7 million (legal and

illegal) making it the highest number and percentage in 96 years. Also, it is planned that the

immigrant share of the population will pass 14.7% in 2023. (Steven A. Camarota)

B. There are 10.9 million students from immigrant households in public schools.

(Marieta)

C. The states with more than 20% of immigrant people living in there are: California,

New York, New Jersey, and Florida. Most of immigrants who came to the US are from Latin

America and Mexico. (Steven A. Camarota)

II. Topic Sentence: Immigrants, instead of harming the U.S. society, are largely

contributing to its economy however president Trump and opponents of immigration reveal that

a major concern among U.S. citizens is that immigrants tend to take jobs from American workers

and they take those jobs to another country and this will decrease the economy of the U.S.

A. Trumps harsh assault on undocumented immigrants will damage the US economics

in many key areas such as service occupations like retail hospitality, home care, and health care.

They also contend undocumented immigrants burden society with welfare, medical and

education costs. (Roman)

B. Deporting millions of undocumented people will make the economic worst since

most immigrants are creating and persevering American manufacturing jobs. (Hanson)

C. One contribution of low-skilled immigrants is to make it possible for high-skilled

workers to spend more time on the job and less time doing non-work-related chores. Women

account for an ever-increasing share of the U.S. high-skilled labor force. (Chacon)

III. Topic Sentence: Proposing new ways to face immigration will create reaction against

the immigrant community, but it is crucial to face the big problem about immigration, and see

alternatives that dont create fear and dont spread immigrants families.

A. who president Trump has created feared and concern in many immigrants

communities an example is professor Peter Markowitz that says, I have never seen the level of

panic that is gripping our immigrant communities. (Martin)

B. Two-thirds of the people in immigration detention (25,000 out of 37,000) do not have

a final order of removal, which means that they may ultimately be allowed to remain in the

United States. Of these 25,000 individuals, approximately 15,000 have no criminal record

whatsoever. (Marouf)

Conclusion: Overall immigration continues to be the subject of intense debate between

the American people. The more than one million immigrants arriving each year have a very

significant effect on many areas of American life. We see that immigrants and their young

children now account for more than one in five public school students. The large share of

immigrants who arrive as adults with relatively few years of schooling is the primary reason so

many live-in poverty, use welfare programs, or lack health insurance, not their legal status or an

unwillingness to work. Nonetheless, as more people know about immigration and its effect, the

debate of how to solve this big problem will be more right so people can look for help and stay in

this country without sending them back where their life were bad.
