Introduction Guide


1.       Ask yourself: “Why am I interested in the topic? What initially caused me to research the topic?”

I am interested in this topic because I have always had strong feelings about illegal immigration and have always wanted to know more about the logistics and stats of my topic.  I honestly don’t get how illegal immigrants think they can do what they do and be okay with that.  I just want to know more and more about my subject so I can further understand this predicament.



2.       Then consider how you relate with the topic (e.g. I own pit bulls: they should not be banned; I have family that immigrated to the United States: open border policy; I always dreamed to be an astronaut and go to the moon: the truth about the first lunar landing).

My grandpa owns a repair shop and an illegal immigrant came in with a very nice old 1970 Chevrolet, but very nice and in very good condition.  He wanted a lot of work done to it so my grandpa said okay and put new speakers in, new rims, new everything.  This car looked sick and was probably upwards of 70,000 dollars.  When the time came for him to pay and pick up his car, the man never showed up.  He had been arrested and was facing multiple charges for a shooting or something.  They also found that he was an illegal immigrant so he obviously wasn’t getting out of jail anytime soon.  So my grandpa had to strip the car of whatever he could and had to try and sell it which he did, but with not as much value as he put into it.



3.       Once you simply define your relation to the topic, explain a personal experience that elaborates upon your relation to the topic.  If you are having trouble thinking of something, simply call me over.

My personal experience was the story above in the preceding paragraph.




4.       Lastly, consider the purpose in arguing your topic.  How will you defend your stance?  What will you do to argue your purpose?

I have multiple arguments and articles of statistics, job stealing, and crimes that will prove my theory that the borders should be shut down completely.  I will write multiple paragraphs on each subject and clearly define why this hurts our economy and our country.
