Illegal Immigrants: The Economy

Thesis:
We (the government) should help illegal immigrants become legal citizens so they are helping the economy instead of taking from it.
Key Points:
1. Illegal immigrants affect the economy in different ways.
.. a. Positive – they put their money earned back into America
.. b. Negative – they send their money out of the country to family
2. Illegal immigrants take the jobs no one wants.
.. a. Manual labor – you wouldn’t normally see a typical American working as strenuous jobs for the same amount of pay.
3. America is made up of immigrants from countless countries in search of a better life. We should embrace are fellow dream-seekers into our culture.

Your first point has a positive and negative. You might want to just stick with the positive and make a clear point.

Max's comment is valid. In order to make a clear argument, it is great to consider the counterpoints, but you don't want to mention them in this way. If you do give a point for the opposition, you need to immediately point out the error in that assertion.
