Today we'll read "[|The New Immigrants]", which is chapter 18 section 4 of you textbook (pages 625-629). As we read, we will look for three specific things:
 * What We Did In Class**
 * 1) Why people came to the U.S./left their home.
 * 2) Positive results of immigration.
 * 3) Negative results of immigration.

Imagine that you are writing an editorial in which you object to a bill that excludes immigrants who could not read their own languages. Which of the following arguments is most persuasive? Why? Arguments: > (a) Many native-born American citizens do not know how to read, so the bill uses an unfair standard for immigrants. > (b) Immigrants come to this country for a better life, which includes getting an education. > (c) The bill is being used as a trick to restrict all immigration.
