Introduction-
Hook- Unless you are older than the age of 30, you probably do not know what it was like to fly or from an American airport without TSA and strict rules.
Establish a shift occurred- Before the horrible tragedy of 9/11, it was not uncommon to show up to flight 30 minutes before departure, now, you have to at least give yourself 2-3 hours in case the lines are long.
Thesis- After the tragedy of 9/11, the United States fundamentally changed its approach and thought process to immigration and border security through new security acts, tougher airport security, and more closed borders.
Body-
A. Immigration-the action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country.
Example: Before 9/11, the processes of immigration were much more relaxed. Historically, America has been for the most part very welcoming and open to immigrants and after the events of 9/11, multiple security agencies such as ICE were created in the name of protection of our borders.
B. Although there were some reasons why people wanted to tighten the borders, especially the southern one, 9/11 ultimately caused the shift to more restrictive mindsets and regulations on immigration.
Example: The multiple agencies that were created to protect the borders and deport illegal immigrants, especially those who were Muslim at the time.
C. Scholars are saying that the consequences of the shift of mindest on immigration in the US have and could lead to many people becoming less accepting and prejudiced against a certain group of people such as Hispanics and Muslims.
Conclusion
Relate the shift to what is happening today and the thought process of people today on immigration. Also, suggest what the trends could lead to and the different outcomes that could occur when talking about immigration and border security.
