This rough draft assignment must integrate prior feedback and show improvement from your prior coursework. The rough draft will be evaluated differently than a final draft essay, so pay close attention to the grading rubrics and requirements.

Your argument should be sound, valid, and based upon evidence from at least 5 credible sources. At least 3 of your sources must be scholarly. You may integrate additional information, since your final draft requires additional research. Information and evidence must be integrated appropriately, cited in APA-style, and used with integrity. Remember to draft your essay for an academic audience.

If you have any questions about the requirements of this assignment, please contact your instructor right away. Your assignment may lose its formatting when it is converted in the Waypoint grading system. To preserve formatting, please submit your assignment as a PDF file.

 

 

Solution Preview

For decades, immigration has been a hallmark for the United States political debate as policymakers take into consideration competing for security, economic and humanitarian concerns. Despite this, Congress is unable to reach an agreement on immigration reforms. With this, major immigration policy decisions have been settled by the judicial and the executive branches of the federal government which has fueled further the debate in the halls of the state governments (Fletcher & Renwick, 2018). Besides, the debate on immigration policy has divided American citizens many of whom opt for drastic actions to curb illegal immigration. The election of President Donald J. Trump in 2016 was the hallmark of extraordinary actions to curtail immigration including the temporary ban on Muslims, deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants and the controversial plan of constructing a border wall.
