1. My issue is the controversial issue of illegal immigration. Every year thousands of illegal citizens come into America in hopes for a better future. These people in many cases assume low wage jobs and help small business' strive. However their working for such small payment has both positive and negative impacts on the U.S. economy. In addition the people take away jobs from many legal born American citizens. This issue is hot and heated to say the least.
2. People are beginning to become aware of the issue of illegal immigration because a vast number of citizens have been flowing into our country undeterred bringing about issues of border patrol, economic crisis, small business infractions, and the list goes on and on. There are several positives and negatives to having illegal citizens in our country.
3. Positions
a. I think that it is completely illegal and hypocritical to allow these illegal immigrants to assume the jobs and lifestyles of American's citizens, when even in some cases they thwart or deter other legal citizens.
b. From a small business owner's perspective this can really help your business reach higher levels of success.
c. These citizens help daunting tasks seem more manageable (ex:1996 Olympics in Atlanta preparation).
4. Being from Atlanta I have seen many of these citizens first hand. Also the Olympics was held in my hometown which necessitated several thousand of these people. I find it intriguing how people's opinion on the issue can change at any second, in addition to my personal desire to see a somewhat definite change occur in the near future whatever it may be.

I think you need to sort out the claims in your proposal bit. First of all, the illegality of illegal immigration is a fact, not a position that you could argue. If you meant that lacking action about the persistence of illegal immigration is hypocritical, then you should say so. In position B, it is not clear what you mean by “this” illegal immigration or fighting illegal immigration. In position C, it is once again not clear who helps whom with “daunting tasks” - who exactly do you mean by “citizens” there and what exactly do you mean by “daunting” in reference to the Olympic Games of 1996. In other words, you need to make your claims much more specific!
