For this essay, you will write at least 4.5 full pages minimum, focused on researching and writing an essay on what is needed to fix America’s insufficient/failing immigration laws and policies based on the stories and information presented in The Distance Between Us and other sources.
Your essay should answer the prompt below:
Make an argument in favor or against on what is needed to fix America’s insufficient / failing immigration laws and policies using the Rogerian style of argumentation.
In the book, The Distance Between Us, and other sources, you learned a lot about the different issues immigrants face when we leave our native countries and immigrate to the United Sates. Immigrants face a lot of traumas such as feelings of abandonment, guilt and anger towards those who leave family members behind, struggles learning another language, being undocumented, etc. Place, placelessness, and journeys to begin anew in an unfamiliar home transcend cultures and nationalities.
