Post 5: 2/15 Immigration Reform

After the election many predicted that the next move would be immigration reform. Now that the president has started his new term people are debating what he has the political capital to get done and the political will to get done during his "honeymoon period." The president is currently campaigning for gun control AND for immigration reform and political scientists and the media are speculating about whether this will be possible for him to accomplish. What policy should President Obama pursue on immigration? What factors (political, economic, social) influence what direction the U.S. will go on immigration? What is your prediction? Will the U.S. Congress pass immigration reform this year? This post is due on Friday, February 15th but feel free to post early. Your post needs to include at least 4 sources. There is a lot of writing on this topic so there shouldn't be any trouble getting evidence to support your argument.

Post 4: Respond to a peer about gun control

Pick someone in your same class period that you disagree with to respond to for post 4.  Explain and back up your attack of their argument.  Be sure to use at least three articles to back up your points.  Be sure to proof read your post. 

Special note:  Please think before you post.  Focus on attacking the argument NOT your classmate.  Think about whether you would say what you’re posting in class – that’s a good test of whether or not it’s appropriate to post.  ;)  

Due Friday, February 8th
