Analyzing Immigration
Look at the Pictures below and discuss what you think they mean. Are they positive or negative for immigrants? Some of the pictures talk about "Illegal Immigrants". This is a term used to talk about immigrants who come to the United States but do not become citizens. There is a huge debate going on right now whether the United States should kick out all the illegal immigrants or let them stay here.
