Topic: Immigration and impact on the economy

    In my research paper I will be talking about immigrants. More importantly about their impact on the economy. In the American society typically when you hear the word immigrant you think of the individual in a negative perspective. Due to the history, public view and social media has made. Talking about the history and the experiences in the past there will be positive and negative actions, perspectives of immigrants. In addition to learning about their past the main focus will be on the impact to the American economy in both positive and negative way. 

Research Question: How do undocumented immigrants persevere the image of legal immigrants in the United States of America? 

Hypothesis:
-Social media, and media by itself has shown the general idea of an immigrant as the antagonist of the society.  Little there is shown about their positive impacts including, being building blocks to economic prosperity in addition to little or close to none representation in the government.  Due to such a negative imagine image in the eyes of the public, discrimination and oppression plays a major role in shaping their lives and their impact.
-High skilled immigrant contribute economic growth and higher production
