Provide a 4 pages analysis while answering the following question: Do not Shut the Golden Door: Political and Social Science. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The article provides good supporting claims for its main argument that immigration does not produce greater social problems for society. The study they used offered concrete evidence that in several communities across the United States, migrants are not lazy, social-welfare guzzlers. MacDonald and Sampson stress that even if migrants are generally poorer than the rest of the population, they have positive effects on communities with weak economies. They give examples from Hazleton, Pennsylvania, and St. James, Minnesota, where migrants decreased hostility against minorities and turned around both the decreasing population and economic rates. MacDonald and Sampson also offer evidence that migrants diminished crime rates through decreasing homicide rates for the main racial groups and improving attitudes toward the police and laws. Despite these backed-up claims, the article no longer explores other alternative interpretations of the study. The study must be concentrated in certain areas only, where migration actually improved economic conditions, thereby not including communities, where immigration worsened socio-economic indicators. The article also lacks clear transition sentences and convincing concluding arguments for its last two paragraphs. For example, a better transition sentence for the thirteenth paragraph is: “Because of the positive contributions of migrants to American society, the winner of the election in November should carefully consider the consequences of fully closing the golden gate.” The last paragraph can also be rewritten into: “A comprehensive immigration reform should protect the human rights of migrants while providing opportunities for guest-workers. We should be aware of the importance of controlling illegal immigration flow, without directly affronting the human rights of hard-working and law-abiding migrants.” These paragraphs support immigration, without alienating potentially valid claims regarding illegal immigration.
