blog assignment #1

  As a immigrant of the United States of America for the past ten years, I've encountered numerous cases in which American citizens compliant about the increasing immigration rates. Now what concerns them the most is the idea that immigrants may eventually take over things that they may think belonged to them. As stated from the Pew Research Center, it is estimated that "immigrants will make up a record 18% of the U.S. population in 2065, compared with 14% today and 5% in 1965. Immigrants and their children will represent 36% of the U.S. population in 2065"(PewResearchCenter 2015). However, though immigrants will continuously increase in the U.S, it doesn't mean that the Americans will lose anything.
  In the eyes of some American, immigrants have always been sinful people stepping on their territory which explains why those Americans don't seem to quite have nice thoughts about immigrants. Now let us stop for a second and picture our society without these immigrants. Within this second you may have pictured a scene: restaurants lack workers, supermarket in need for employees, construction sites never seem to have things built, and maybe even public bathrooms don't seem to be clean. These might be the things you've pictured in your mind- these jobs also known as the "dirty" job are commonly seen jobs for immigrants. If this were to actually come true, then, our society would probably lose its function since the U.S economic market is mostly functioned under the hands of immigrants. Moreover, who actually likes the "dirty" job? My true intention to saying this is not to change anything but instead provide to you- American citizens- another perspective to think about next time before letting any unreasonable thought out of you mouth.
  Here I used a few of Zinsser's teaching such as the colon, mood changers, and dash. I used the colon to list a few possible things that someone may think about when I ask them to picture a certain scene. then I used the mood changer "However" and "Moreover" to switch up the sides a bit. Lastly, I used the dash in my paragraph just to clarify certain things said.
