Prompt: “The autonomy of any country is based on the strength of its borders; if the number of illegal immigrants entering a country cannot be checked, both its economy and national identity are endangered. Because illegal immigrants pose such threats, every effort must be made to return them to their country of origin.”.
Essay Format
The argument claims that the autonomy of the country depends on the strength of its borders relative to the illegal immigrants ingress in the country. Stated in such a way the argument is inconclusive of the data supporting the hypothesis, tends to manipulate the facts to present a distorted view of the situation, and is a leap of faith reasoning without clear outcomes. In sum, the argument could have been presented in a much better and improvised way with more relevant and supporting fact sheet on which the argument depends.
First the argument readily assumes that the integrity of the country will be altered if the number of illegal immigrant of the country will go unchecked. This statement is an exaggerated form of the assumption made by author without corroborating with facts and figures. For examples there are many countries worldwide who share common borders without the deployment of armies and still the autonomy of the country remains unaffected. While there had been countries who inspite of well sealed borders faced threat to national identity.If the argument had provided evidence that the nation’s identity crisis take place due to unchecked illegal immigrants, then the argument would have been more convincing.
Second, the argument claims that if illegal immigration remains unchecked, it can result in economy crisis. This statement is again a very weak and unsupported claimant does not co-relate similarity in statement. For example there had been early countries whose foundation were laid by illegal immigrants, who were the main labour force. Even in today the orient country economy is also being supported by illegal immigrants who acts as a major labor force. If the argument could have provided evidence relating to the threat of economy, then the same would have been more convincing.
Finally, the argument should debate about how does illegal immigrant pose a threat to national identity as well as economy crises. Without proper evidence it can be inferred more of a wishful thought rather than conclusions based logically.
In conclusion the argument is flawed for above mentioned reasons and in unconvincing as it fails to address facts that the author argues of national identity and economic crisis. Unless these facts are answered with proper reasons it would not be wise to say that the illegal immigrants should be returned back to their countries of origin. This can be well justified with the reasons of merits supporting the author’s view, unless which the argument remains unsubstantiated and open to debate.
