Opinions, Opinions Everywhere!

My approach to finding an opinion piece was based on which topic I wanted to analyze a piece about. I thought it through for a couple of days and rested on Immigration Laws. You see, illegal and legal immigration is something that I find myself thinking about often.

I've had a few occasions in my life working with illegal immigrants and some of my friends have strong opinions about just that, illegal immigrants. We discuss them on occasion. So, it's a pretty important topic in my life. I have developed some very strong opinions on the matter.

Inflow of immigrants has had severe repercussions on our nation. Wages have been lowered because of it, Health Insurance costs have increased, and American jobs have been placed in jeopardy because of it.

So, I looked at several opinion pieces about immigration. There are so many. I guess a lot of people share my concern for the welfare of our country. Finally, I settled on "Reforming Immigration Laws," by Dan Stein of the Washington Times. I chose this piece because he talks about some changes that need to be made to immigration laws so that it can once again be beneficial to the country as a whole. He also writes of the problems that are being caused by political parties, in relation to immigration.

I found this article to be interesting and look forward to analyzing it further.
