I don't like the topic honestly.
First, I have done this topic for over three times even though it is classic. I got bored.
Second, objectively speaking, this issue has more thing to do with politics, which we never be able to touch upon. By economical point of view, this issue doesn't have any certain answer about costs and benefits because it is not countable.
Third, the logic of this issue is too easy to be ever challenging because people can basically list an pros and cons and then pull the quotes they want to compose the essay. That simple.
Overall, I wouldn't like it anymore if ENGL 1B was going to give me the same topic.
Jesse, I just wanted to touch upon your second point that politics are out of our reach. One of the great things about living in a democratic society is that we, as citizens, do get to be involved in politics. If we feel a certain way about immigration, or any issue, we have the option to bring it up to our elected officials. And if we feel as if our representatives are not doing a good job, we can make them aware of that during election season and in the voting booth.
ReplyDeleteJesse, I very much agree that economically that is not countable. The more I listen to different experts in economy the more I think it is kind of liberal art and not a science (though they used numbers). The economists (including Nobel Prize winners) have their strong arguments supported by numbers, but their arguments always align with their political views. I find it interesting but I don`t envy the American President who has to make decisions in the case where the best professionals can`t agree on any point.
