Things to fix for conference

So far my paper is coming along nicely. There are a few things I need to go over such as using more quotes, citing them properly. Completing the assigned work given today, highlighting key sentences. Also, I need to correct the little mistakes, like grammar, spelling, etc. Also, my ani. bib. needs some work with organization, and correctly citing, hanging indent.

how it's going

In class today I start and almost finished my intro and conclusion, I like the way they came out, but at the same time I know they need more work. Over all, my body needs more work, so I plan on spending time working on that.

plans for the week

So I actually have a lot written so far, I'm on page 3 and there is still tons for me to write about, so far I've just summarized from the sources I've gathered, so i haven't added quotes or any direct evidence from my sources, without plagiarising. Tomorrow I plan on doing that, incorporating quotes and citations into my current draft, and also re-do the section on where I interviewed my father, and to continue working on the body of my paper.

Monday's workshop

As an immigrant from another country arriving here in the United States, the first thing on their mind is becoming a citizen. Often times though, they don’t know what they’re getting themselves into. Things such as having to put money aside to pay for the process, dealing with the discrimination, and the long waiting periods for them to actually become a citizen are but a few main concerns that hold hundreds of immigrants back from going through with the process.
1. There are many immigrants that want to become citizens, to them it means not living in fear of being deported, having children and not having to worry about them being held back because they’re parents aren’t citizens. Many children who were born here take for granted how much of an advantage they have just by being a citizen of this country, and don’t really take the time to think about it. Things such as enrolling in school, (read more on that) getting a license, and having your parents’ co sign a loan for college, are a few things kids who have illegal parents can not do.
2. Having to deal with any that encompasses lots of money is always an issue for many American citizens. Imagine coming here with very little money and the government tells you to fork over about three hundred dollars to become a citizen. Blank stares and shocked looks are the first things that come to mind. Lets think about this for a second. If an immigrant is migrating front he homeland, what are possible reasons, knowing there are more opportunities here, making a better life for their family, getting a good job, and more importantly making more money, now I’m not one to stereotype but please lets face it many immigrants coming here are poor, they’re coming here to better themselves and their families, how are they going to get together this amount of money. If they can get together three hundred dollars that money is going to go towards paying for rent, food, or clothes.

Annotated Bibliography feedback

So I just got back my reviews, and I did alright, but that isn't great. I mostly had "good and satisfactory" comments. Things that I still have to correct are small grammar mistakes, organization, and adding a sixth source. I didn't add the sixth because I plan to have it be an interview with someone going through the immigration process, which will greatly help my essay.
Things to fix for final bibliography;

final ani intro

Annotated Bibliography: Examining the citizenship process that isn’t so effective.Introduction: The ideal question for my research paper would be: Why the citizenship process isn’t as effective as it could be. I’m gearing this paper more towards fellow undergraduate students, yet at the same time including people who are interested in knowing how exactly the citizenship process works. The information I’ve gathered thus far shows how these immigrants are being badly treated when trying to become a citizen, and how many decide not to become one because the process takes too long, and costs too much and are not financially able to pay.

Over all, the consensus is to “ease up” on how harsh the current process is, make it more affordable for immigrants that are trying to become citizens, and speed the process up. Easier said then done, of course. The body of my paper will discuss currently the process steps, and how they’re making many citizens not want to go through with it. Also the harsh reality on how citizens are being treated when they opt to go through with it. I will then conclude my paper with different methods that have been suggested to change the citizenship process but haven’t been in forced yet. If these ways were just taken into consideration the reaction to the immigrant population would be astounding, more and more immigrants would come forward and finally be able to become citizens.


(NOTE: figure out exactly who says what and incorporate some information from what the authors are saying, make it sound more credible.)

intro 4 anni in the progress

My purpose for this research paper is to bring attention to undergraduate students who are interested about current events and the way the government is treating incoming immigrants. It’s nothing new, centuries ago immigrants were being sent through multiple stations before they could enter into America, but after that they were in, and that’s where the whole “being treated differently” ended. Over the years it has gotten worse because it doesn’t end with entering into America, it continues up until the day you become a citizen, and that usually takes two to three years, and a few hundred dollars.

Introduction: My ideal question for the research paper would be: Why the citizenship process isn’t as effective as it could be.

The information I’ve gathered thus far shows how these immigrants are being treated when trying to become a citizen, and how many decide not to become one because the process takes too long, and costs that they are not financially able to pay. The real deal is that becoming a citizen isn’t just some class you take and you’re on your way. It takes time and money, and being treated in a manner no one should ever have to experience.

Over all, the consensus is to “ease up” on how harsh the current process is, make it more affordable for immigrants that are trying to become citizens, and speed the process up. Easier said then done, of course. The body of my paper will discuss currently the process steps, and how they’re making many citizens not want to go through with it.
