Does each aspect have relevant and authoritative evidence in support of your point?
Have you included a view that is in opposition to your viewpoint, and have you answered that opposing view, pointing out its flaws in such a way as to refute it?
Edit your paper – look for wordiness, repetition, vagueness, ambiguities. Check the organization of the paper as a whole; make sure each paragraph maintains focus. After you are satisfied that the content of your paper is good, carefully proofread it and correct mechanical errors.

Issue: Immigration
Aspect 1: Poverty
Pro: International Migration. Feb2019, Vol. 57 Issue 1, p264-280. 17p. 4 Charts, 2 Graphs.
The author comes up with how in Denmark, compared to Germany, a larger part of the native‐immigrant poverty difference is explained by market valuation of characteristics and by unobservable. Family, friends, and elders are vulnerable in both countries.
Con: Blume, K., B. Gustafsson, P.J. Pedersen, et al. 2005 " A Tale of Two Countries: Poverty and Income Distribution Among Immigrants in Denmark and Sweden Since 1984 ", in G.J. Borjas and J. Crisp (Eds), Poverty, International Migration and Asylum. Macmillan, Palgrave : 317 – 340.
According to the OECD, Denmark has one of the lowest poverty rates in the OECD and the rate in Germany is not above average. However, when immigrants in these countries are considered, especially those coming from middle and low‐income countries outside the EU, poverty rates are much higher.
Aspect 2: Employment
Pro: Journal of Policy Analysis & Management. Jan2020, Vol. 39 Issue 1, p267-274. 8p.
The author presents the case, The idea that having a job in the U.S., even as a laborer or manual worker, is a good way of entry to the U.S. and is beneficial to immigrants and local economies, is based on historical experience. Without immigrants, many businesses, for example, agriculture, construction, and hospitality would be decreased by more than twenty percent. Immigrants from all over the world have work so hard to make the U.S sectors of high tech, science, and technology.
Con: Abramitzky, R., Boustan, L. P., & Eriksson, K. (2014). A nation of immigrants: Assimilation and economic outcomes in the age of mass migration. Journal of Political Economy, 122, 467 – 506.
The labor Market reports that in the last decades, a huge body of research has inspected the economic effects of recent immigrants to the United states. Their focus was to see their impact on labor market, especially on the wages and employment of natives. However, the minimum wage and employment effects of immigrants on natives seem very small.
Aspect 3: Education
Pro: Sociological Inquiry. Aug2018, Vol. 88 Issue 3, p435-466. 32p. 6 Charts.
The author talks about immigrant entrepreneurship has become one of major topics in the field of immigration studies. Immigrants have been considered not only a means to socioeconomic mobility for immigrants, but also an engine for job growth in the economy. Many of these well‐educated immigrants established small businesses to evade blocked mobility, using their ethnic and class resources.
Con: Borjas, George. 1986. “The Self‐employment Experience of Immigrants.” Journal of Human Resources 21(4):485–506.
The article states that immigrants are also likely to have greater ethnic and class resources for the establishment and operation of businesses by virtue of residing in a much larger ethnic. community and a higher-class background. Well educated immigrants have less disadvantages in finding their occupations.
