Guo’s paper describes multicultural education of early childhood settings in New
Zealand from the experiences and perspectives of Chinese Immigrant, young children, their
teachers and parents. The major sections in Guo’s paper is to interview with the parents,
teachers and children showed that they differed in their perceptions of children's learning.
Guo took a direct and straight approach to analyze the multicultural education of children.
Her paper did deserve credibility because there were plenty of data listed in the paper to show
the result of her survey and analysis.

Top Wealth Owners." Plos ONE, vol. 12, no. 2, 23 Feb. 2017, pp. 1-24. EBSCOhost,

Economic inequality in the United States is extreme, but little is known about the
national origin of affluent households. Although the percentage of top wealth holders who are
immigrants is relatively small, these percentages represent large numbers of households with
considerable resources and corresponding social and political influence. Evidence that the
propensity to allocate wealth to real and financial assets varies across immigrant groups
suggests that wealth ownership is more global than previous research suggests. I choose this
piece is because immigrants are received plenty of bias today while the reality is that
immigrants also hold a large amount of wealth. And that is the fact that common people do
not realize.

Disparities for Immigrants to Canada by Region of Origin and Cohort." Canadian Review of

This paper investigates wealth disparities among first-generation immigrants using
data from the 2012 Survey of Financial Security. They apply logistic and linear regression
models to estimate disparities in homeownership and household equivalent net worth by
immigrant status, region of origin, and time since arrival. By focusing on immigrant families
from different regions who entered Canada at different points in time, this research applies
theories related to assimilation, human capital, and structural barriers to wealth. Their
findings demonstrate that even though many immigrant families transition into
homeownership and grow their wealth over time, certain first-generation immigrant groups
continue to experience wealth disparities many years after their arrival to Canada. This article
help my essay to restate my opinion of the discrimination of immigrants exists in the United
States. The main reason is the imbalance between homeownership and household equivalent
net worth. This paper provides me with a majority of data to help with my essay.

This paper aims to tell us why American always discriminate immigrants and how to
solve the immigrants discrimination in our society. The article indicates that we discriminate
immigrants because we fear about that from negative feeling towards a particular group and
its members. If we want to avoid immigrants discrimination and decreases those biases. We
can try to reduce inclinations to those prejudices we find morally problematic and build the
relationship with the immigrants. Also, we should help them to adapt the new life, after that
we will find that actually they will not threat to us

Although race remains a prominent predictor of citizen perceptions of criminal
injustice, little research has examined Asian Americans. Drawing upon survey data from the
East Coast, this study examines how Chinese immigrants perceive police
bias and what factors explain their perceptions. Results show that the majority of respondents
believe that police bias exists. Chinese immigrants' perceptions are less attributable to their
direct experiences with crime or the police but are closely related to their global perceptions
of officer demeanor and media exposure to police misconduct. Length of stay in United
States has some curvilinear effects. Research and policy implications are provided.

July 6, 2012 Web. http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/06/opinion/navarrette-illegal-immigrant/
This news is mainly came up with pretty interesting idea about “illegal immigrants”.
He used term like “undocumented immigrants” who had green card in U.S. Because some of
them were born in U.S while some of their core families are not. I see how interesting and
actual they view on immigrants. It is a controversial topic that should the U.S send those
undocumented immigrants back even they have families who are legal U.S citizens. I pick
this essay to enhance the width of my argument, which is a extension of the immigrant topic.

This article talks about why American against Latino Immigration because they fear
about the Latino Immigrants will contribute to the United States or become a burden. I
personally think that the data and evidences from this source can helps me to explain the the
discrimination between Americans and Latino are exists. The main reason is that they think a
large number of Latinos are uneducated and also through the data, we can see that there are
an enormous number of illegal Latino immigrants lived in United States. On the other hand
the article mentioned the solution for this situation, which is to pass the Trump’s suggestion
of Legalization program. The Legalization program is to stringent enforcement and such
conditions as paying a fine, passing an English test and showing a solid employment record.

Garcia, Charles. “Why 'illegal immigrant' is a slur.” CNN.com 6 July, 2012. Web.
http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/05/opinion/garcia-illegal-immigrants/
This piece mainly explained as the topic said: “ why “illegal immigrant” is a slur.
From the perspective of humanities. When people said the term “illegal immigrant”, they
brought it out with individual emotions and prejudice. The supreme court believed that we
should avoid using this term because they are not criminal. I pick this article because I think
is very ridiculous. I mean undocumented immigrants were illegal because they came to other
countries without permission. They are using the resources and space that the local people
had. I currently don’t have idea on how to use this idea to support my argument but I simply
think it is a very funny article and I bet U.S local people who read it may feel uncomfortable.

I would like to use this article in my introduction because this article describes the
immigrants history specifically. I feel that talk about the history at the beginning can help the
readers to understand the definition of the immigrants and how the history affect the
nowadays discrimination for those immigrants. The article indicate that even The United
States build by the immigrants but “if you can’t work, you can’t get in. Your poor? you’re
likely to become a ‘public charge,’ so you can’t get in.” Consequently, I think this article is
the best option to be in my introduction and can clearly show that the discrimination
immigrants issue is also coming from the history of the United States.

Adam and Michael used great amount of statistics and charts to describe how
immigrant impact the economy in the U.S in terms of employments rate and wages. They
applied latest data which authorized by U.S department of labor. It contributes a lot on the
credibility. The reason I pick this paper is because they made use of data to analyze
immigrant business environment. The paper implied how significant the immigrants
contribute to the U.S economy. For example, the average wages of U.S born workers is raised
slightly because of immigrants’ engagement, Since Immigrants have various jobs preferences
rather than the U.S born workers. I believe this is a great counter argument source.

14 June, 2013. Web http://immigrationimpact.com/2013/06/14/evidence-shows-thatimmigration-does-not-increase-unemployment/
“ If immigrants really “took” jobs away from large numbers of native-born workers,
especially during economic hard times, then one would expect to find high unemployment
rates in those parts of the country with large numbers of immigrants.” Walter believed that
immigrants are the minorities who have less opportunities to compete with the local workers
as some immigrants tend to take lower wages jobs since their religious background, financial
background were varied one to another. Also, immigrants spend money and start business in
U.S as well. Therefore, when people are worried about immigrants are taking too many job
opportunities, they also have to consider the effort immigrants made. I believe this is also a
great counter argument as well.

Synthesis #2 Assignment Sheet
Overview
The last major assignment of the semester is also the longest, and requires the most work with
argument and revision. This final Synthesis #2 essay should be a full-length argumentative essay,
and must include at least ten secondary sources.
This final Synthesis essay gives you a chance to really stretch your writing muscles and discuss
your topic in numerous ways to persuade your reader. Of course, this is an argument synthesis,
so you are arguing a specific point and using sources to help your point come to light and appear
logical and persuasive. Your sources will be valuable in providing examples or support for your
ideas, as well as counterarguments or ideas that you will shoot down or dismiss.
The Assignment
Compose a ten-page, ten-source argument synthesis. Remember, you must argue a position in
this essay and use sources to help prove your point. I am also asking that you include a
counterargument or two to show your versatility in arguing and seeing different sides of the
topic.
As noted in your Proposal assignment sheet, this final Synthesis essay could be a revision of
your first Synthesis essay. If you choose to change topics between the time you handed in your
Proposal and the end of the semester, please email me so that I can approve the new topic, but be
aware that you still have to turn in a ten-page, ten-source paper regardless of the topic.
Composing Advice
As with Synthesis #1, you want your sources to have a dialogue and work on your terms. Do not
simply support one of your sources as the only way to see something; instead, decide your
approach and use the sources to help you build points. You may certainly string together points
that you like from several articles and combine them into a persuasive statement of your own.
This is one way to see how a synthesis builds. Your job is to conduct the orchestra of sources and
use your summarizing, critiquing, and arguing skills to bring the reader to your point of view.
Ten pages and ten sources might seem monstrous task as you first read this. But if you break
your argument into three or four main points and build each point at two or so pages, you have
quite a bit there. Expect a page or so for the introduction and conclusion, each, and you are right
around nine or ten pages. So work on this essay in "chunks," and perhaps think about your
sources coming in line with these chunks too. Could this mean that you are writing three or four
small critique papers and then revising to make them all flow together? It could. Keep in mind
that you could also reuse the outline that we discussed for your first Synthesis essay intro,
history of the problem, consequences if not solved, etc.), but just extend each section to meet the
ten-page limit.
Fort
Counterarguments
At some point in your essay, you are required to discuss opposing points of view to your thesis.
Dealing with counterarguments can be a big plus for you, as you can either shoot them down or
acknowledge their point of view and move on.
