Option 2: Make Emigration Unnecessary:

Overview on Making Emigration Unnecessary (Emily):

• Make it so there is no reason for people to come to the U.S
• People come because of war, famine, and low quality of life
• All those people drain our resources and all the educated people leave their home country
• People won't want to leave if they can live happily in the country they are in
• Help support a developing country and make it more developed

What policies we should pursue (Matt and David):

• improved foreign aid and trade benefits reduces immigration
• help resettle refugees and attempt to prevent refugee crises
• improve (make humane) standards in granting political process
• give out only 600,000 visas a year including refugees

The beliefs on making emigration (David and Matt):

• Other countries problems are our problems, too
• Improved foreign relations benefit the United State's effort to improve the lives of others
• We must ease suffering when possible

Arguments for (Thomas and Tate):

• Expanding foreign aid programs
• Developing refugee policies
• Reducing the level of immigration

Arguments against (Tate and Thomas):

• Wasting money on foreign aid programs
• Closing doors to immigrants
• Awarding immigration visas
• US cannot overcome the crippling poverty an social chaos
• US will not be able to strengthen the country without immigration
• People will always want to come to the US
