Would a border wall be effective in curtailing illegal immigration?, 2) Is reducing illegal immigration a desirable policy goal, and 3) How will we pay for the wall?

The most well known of President Trumps campaign pledges was to construct a wall on the southern border of the United States. This because a rallying cry at Trumps rallies (Build that wall! Build that wall!), but polls indicate that most Americans do not favor the construction of a literal wall. The idea has also not been enthusiastically embraced within the halls of Congress. However, President Trump signed an executive order that would begin construction of a wall, but construction of a thousand foot long concrete fortification would require Congressional approval (and funding!). The debate in Congress will likely center on three questions:
It can be difficult to really get a sense of what building a wall of this size would entail. The following article breaks down the estimated costs, the magnitude of the materials that would be required, and the logistical hurdles of the construction project. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/02/11/trumps-dubious-claim-that-his-border-wall-would-cost-8-billion/?utm_term=.87a8a3c3aeedThe following article is a Q&A on how the wall would work and whether or not it would effectively reduce illegal immigration. Consider it a starting point as you look for your own information: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38755757The second article address to what extent illegal immigration is actually a problem for the United States in the first place. It contains several articles from commentators debating the issue: http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/09/03/is-immigration-really-a-problem-in-the-us This last article address one proposed plan to pay for the wall. President Trump has consistently stated that Mexico will pay for the wall, but this claim has been viewed with great skepticism from across the political spectrum. Mexican officials have repeatedly stated that they will not pay for the wall and the Mexican president recently canceled a trip to Washington D.C. in response to Trumps comments. Recently, Trump suggested that the wall would be paid for via a 20% tariff (import tax) placed on Mexican imports. Many economists fear this would ignite a trade war and argue that tariffs dont work and that the cost is passed on to American consumers in the form of higher prices. The following article discusses a well-known trade war from the 1960s, the so called Cognac-Chicken War between the United States and western Europe. http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1992-11-06/news/1992311204_1_chicken-war-trade-war-tariffs Read all of these articles, but focus your position paper on ONE topic. Would the wall be effective, should we use tariffs to pay for it, or should we even be trying to prevent illegal immigration at all? You could go other directions as well, but whatever you do be sure to focus your paper on a singular position.Students will write a 400, not to exceed 450, word position paper over the work assigned by the instructor.

Discuss the issue of unity or individuality in the Colonies or colonial peoples to 1783. Consider and address (any of ) the following questions: Do documents indicate a similarity and commonality among the colonies, or distinctions between colonies and/or colonial peoples?

Unity & Individuality in the Colonies (to 1783)
Do these documents emphasize similarities with their respective mother country, or focus more on distinctions and differences? Focusing on primary sources:
This paper is about engaging with primary sources and discussing what they have to say about a given topic. You will need to draw from at least one primary source we have already encountered in our weekly readings, but you MUST include an additional primary source from the digital collections that I have provided below.

Your goal is not to create a narrative or historical overview of the topic, but to address what these primary sources can tell us about the topic you have chosen and this will be the foundation for your thesis. Avoid composing a series of summaries of primary sources, and instead focus on the ideas and commentaries of the specific sources you choose. You should refrain from inserting your own judgments or commentaries upon the ideas contained within these sources, whether you agree or disagree with them. Instead, you should consider where your primary sources agree and disagree, support or contradict one another. You inject your own opinion in a number of ways, including the following: the emphasis of your paper in the issues you raise based upon your reading and reflection of the documents; the similarities and dissimilarities you find within and between your selected documents (over opinions & etc. ); and your analysis of the motivations, bias, emotions (etc.) behind the authors accounts.
Forming your own Thesis:
You must construct a thesis statement based on a specific area of focus from the topics provided below. Do not write simply: This paper looks at poverty in Colonial America, but you need a more specific statement that identifies your focus and gives an indication of the type (or specific) sources you are utilizing to explore this subject. Your thesis may be very broad interpretation of the topic, or it may be very specific. It is your own choice how you wish to address your topic, but note that the more in-depth you are in your discussion of the primary sources, the likelier it is that you will have a stronger (and more assertive) argument for your paper. To take a fictional example: if one prompt asked you to discuss Fashion in Colonial America, you might choose a more general survey examining primary sources that focus on comparisons of Native American and European clothing (or lack thereof), or two descriptions of colonists themselves from similar circumstances, or different eras. In both cases, you may end up with a thesis statement such as: This paper examines how two ______s used descriptions of ____s clothing and fashions to reinforce a sense of cultural superiority (or inferiority & etc.). Your thesis statement can certainly be more complex from this, and note: you should develop one as you are reading, or after you are reading the documents. Do not create a thesis and then look for the statements you want! Additional Resources for Primary Sources
Please use any of the following websites (you may need to do additional navigation) for your additional primary sources. You may also use resources available through the UCSD library, though you will find it difficult to encounter precise excerpts that might fit the needs of your paper.

Unethical Burden on the environment VS. Technology Trend

Revise, proofread, and edit the essay on the topic related to design engineering with these aspects– ethical, social and environmental with contrasting perspectives. More specifically, “while the society takes advantages of the technology for convenience and efficiency, we should consider whether the industries really combat users problem at the core or merely creating new products for their own profits. I would like to take “Airpods” as the main evidence of the technology market that affects the environmental burden. However, this controversial cycle also deals with roles of psychology. Ultimately, my aim is to appeal the obligation for the public to raise awareness of environmental implications as well as minimizing potential threats by developing technology.” 2.
