Find two arguments on the issue of immigration policy in America, one supporting tighter restrictions on undocumented immigrants, the other opposing them.
The sources, which should be identified in your work, may be blogs or articles from a website, a newspaper, or a magazine.
First, reconstruct the arguments as deductive, and then discuss whether they are sound. The simpler the argument, the easier it is to determine whether it is sound.
Papers must be between 700 – 800 words (thus 350-350 per article).
Notes:
- You are looking for opinion pieces. Try searching for “editorials on immigration.”
- Reconstruct the arguments in the paper. Specifically recognize the premises and conclusion(s)
- Be sure that you are clear on what a deductive argument is.
- Discuss the soundness of the argument. This will require use of the text to back your thoughts.
