Example: <\/strong>The following paragraph (\u201canswer\u201d) illustrates how you should complete this exercise.<\/p>\n

Major Claim<\/strong>: Illegal immigrant workers should be granted legal status.<\/p>\n

Answer<\/strong>: <\/p>\n

(1<\/strong> \u2013 MC) Illegal immigrant workers should be granted legal status<\/strong>. (2<\/strong> – MSC) In \u201cIllegal Workers Should be Granted Legal Status,\u201d George Bush states that the main reason America<\/place> became a powerful nation in the twentieth century is because it welcomed the talent, power, and patriotism of immigrant families (554). (3<\/strong> \u2013 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<\/strong> \u2013 MSC) Bush writes, \u201cOut 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\u201d (Connelly 556). <\/p>\n
