Immigration Policy: A Featured Controversy from Issues & Controversies

May 19, 2021
New U.S. citizens recite the the Oath of Allegiance during an immigrant naturalization ceremony in New York City in September 2019.

Featured in Issues & Controversies:
IMMIGRATION POLICY: Do Stringent Immigration Policies Benefit the United States?

Do stringent immigration policies benefit the United States? Be sure to check out Issues & Controversies’ complete and unbiased coverage of this divisive issue. Here is a sample of the pro/con arguments on both sides of the issue.

Try Issues & Controversies today!

SUPPORTERS ARGUE
The United States must take drastic action to secure its borders. Illegal immigrants are a drain on the U.S. economy and pose an urgent security threat. Building a border wall and limiting immigration from certain countries will benefit the United States.

OPPONENTS ARGUE
Immigration is a core aspect of the United States’ national identity. Building a border wall, banning immigration from certain countries, and denying undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship are cruel policies that will ultimately harm the United States.

The pro/con article links to rich related resources that enhance the debate. Students and researchers can explore the “By the Numbers” data, primary sources that provide context, court cases, debate videos, NPR podcasts, infographics, editorials, a Reuters® newsfeed, a chronology, and a bibliography and further resources. Plus, discussion questions are provided to inspire critical thinking and analysis.
