ENG 100 Assignment #3 FIlm-Based Argument Draft #1 A New Beginning In the film, Survivor, screenwriter Philip Shelby writes about Kate Abbott struggles with saving America from a terrorist attack. Abbott is a Foreign Service Officer that works for the U.S. Embassy in London. Abbotts job consist of analyzing many different people that try to enter the United States, making sure that they're not a threat to the U.S. One of her fellow co-workers Naomi Rosenbaum comes across a potential suspect and reports it to Abbott. Dr. Balan who is a General Practitioner from Romania that studies in Pharmaceutical gases for Vickers Pharmaceutical. Dr. Balan says that he is going to the United States for a medical conference but really is planning an attack on Time Square to avenge the death of his wife. Abbott quickly becomes a problem, Dr. Balan notifies Pavlou About Abbott and he hires a man name the Watchmaker to kill her. Abbott figures out that Dr. Balan is planning an attack on the U.S. with the Watchmaker and take matters into her own hands. After being framed for some crimes that she didn't commit, Abbott finds a way New York and saves millions of people from being killed by the gas bomb explosion. After finishing the film I thought to myself, should immigrants be allowed in the United States? Yes, I believe that they should be allowed in the U.S. because my parents were not born in the U.S., they traveled all the way from Laos to escape the war with Cambodia. My parents had two choices to make it was either stay become slaves or get killed or escape and start their new lives in America. They made the right choice which brought me here today. People from all around the world want to come to America for many different reasons whether it’s coming to find the American Dream, Escaping war, or to start fresh for a better life for them or their family! We shouldn't hate them for trying to better their lives, you never know what they have been through. Over the years immigrant population size has increased rapidly. Between 2000 and 2015 the nation’s 42.2 million immigrants is the highest number in ninety-four years. In 1848 at Seneca Falls the Declaration of Sentiments states "We hold these truths to be self-evident," they said, "that all men and women are created equal." if that is the case then why was there slavery? Why are immigrants being looked at differently? Imagine putting yourself in their shoes would you wanna be treated differently and unfair? The United States Of America does import and export trades with other countries from around the world. The country has to import mineral oil and iron ore on a large scale. Machinery, cotton yarns, toys, lubricants, steel, tea, sugar, coffee, and many more items would be traded. The country's export list includes food grains like wheat, corn, and soybean. Cars, computer, papers, and machine tools for different industries. If we deny their people in our country then how can they trust us to do business with them knowing that their people are not wanted or being treated equally in our country. Imagine the world without immigrants. The world would be so different, it would be so one sided and boring. We wouldn't be able to taste the amazing food from all around the world. The different types of religion, clothing, and many other things wouldn’t be here today. The knowledge that we are taught today wouldn't be the same, how will we know what historical events happened over the years if we don't learn from other people from around the world. They say you can learn something new everyday. Is this a world you would see yourself in? I believe that everyone deserves a chance. How can we change the world if we don't change ourselves. work cited cis.org/Immigrants-in-the-United-States en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_trade_of_the_United_States www.ushistory.org/DECLARATION/document/
