Immigration Reforms-Iman

1) The New York Times Article "Immigrants Bolster Academic and Civic Engagement in the U.S." is a pro-immigration article written by Anne-Marie Nunez. She advocates that immigrant students are a beneficial factor to this country's economy and economic status. She argues that although immigrants have a limited, if any, effect on job growth for native-born U.S. workers, they do add to the economy greatly. She discovered that first-generation immigrant students enrolled in four-year colleges or universities are actually more likely than other students to finish their bachelor’s degrees within six years. She also found out that undocumented immigrant students in both K-12 and college demonstrate significant academic engagement in their studies and civic involvement. They often serve as leaders in their schools.
