Major Claim: Illegal immigrant workers should be granted legal status.

Answer:

(1 – MC) Illegal immigrant workers should be granted legal status. (2 - MSC) In “Illegal Workers Should be Granted Legal Status,” George Bush states that the main reason America became a powerful nation in the twentieth century is because it welcomed the talent, power, and patriotism of immigrant families (554). (3 – MSC) Because we are a nation founded and inspired by immigrants, we should acknowledge the contributions made by working immigrants who contribute to our economy by accepting them as part of our country instead of pushing them out. (4 – MSC) Bush writes, “Out of common sense and fairness, our laws should allow willing workers to enter our country and fill jobs that Americans are not filling. We must make our immigration laws more rational, and more humane” (Connelly 556).

Explanation & Answer

hello buddy here is tha file. If there are correctons you want done please inform me. Thank you

Major claim one: Affirmative action perpetuates racism.
Answer: Affirmative action perpetuates racism. According to the U.S Commission of Civil
Rights affirmative action is providing opportunities and freedom to knowledgeable people who
were discriminated in the past or have been denied opportunities currently. Such measures were
put in place to eradicate discrimination in the future. However, these actions are causing an
increase in racism since people different races are now basing themselves depending on what
race they come from. For instance, black people tend to feel unappreciated by the other races in
the United States who try to portray they are superior to them. This makes them not create job
opportunities or even other chances like joining big institutions for the minority races.
Affirmative action has perpetuated racism to be worse than it was earlier on, making people from
different races only develop them and try to outdo each other. Affirmative action has actually
created more discrimination than there was before. Morgan Freeman during an interview on “60
minutes” in 2005 said, “"Stop talking about it. I'm going to stop calling you a white man. And
I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man. I know you as Mike Wallace. You know me
as Morgan Freeman." (Voices 2015)
