Assignment:
Write a short (3 to 4 page double spaced) background of the immigration of the following groups to the US: Irish and Germans in the 1800s.
Write a brief background of each group, why they came to the US (what were the factors pushing or pulling them here?), and their impact on the US.
Then, come up with a clear main argument/thesis about immigration to the US.
Write about 2 to 3 pages arguing your thesis about immigration and its role in the US. Here are some questions you can consider: How does immigration impact the US today? What groups are coming to the US and why? What is the reaction of people already here? What attempts are made to stop immigration? How does immigration impact the US economy?
