TOPIC: Support  President Trump’s vision for reforming immigration law. 
Objective: The goal of the persuasive paper is to: 1) select a topic of immigration law, 2) do
appropriate research on the topic, 3) champion a side on the issue, 4) present the side of the
issue you most favor, 5) address the counter points of view; indicating why these points of view
fail or are misguided, 6) rehabilitate and summarize your principal arguments.
Structure: While this structure does not have to be followed precisely, something resembling
the following is expected:
Requirements:
• Paper must be no more and no less than 10 pages – this will force you to write concisely
and be very selective of the arguments you choose to highlight both in favor and in
opposition. Needless to say, you should address the strongest points on both sides of the
issue. Bibliography will not count towards this 10-page requirement.
• Bibliography: Must provide as many sources as you deem necessary to construct your
argument and counter-argument. There is no precise number for this as it is dependent on
the topic that you choose. However, you should provide no less than 6 references.
• Paper must confirm to MLA standards.
• Paper must be double-spaced, 12-point font, written in Times New Roman font.
