2014 - Surveillance

2014 - Immigration

Refer to at least one of the four approaches to immigration policy which we debated in class and explain what you think the U.S.'s overall approach to immigration should be.

You must incorporate discussion of the Christian perspective article (Loving the Stranger) we read.
