Research-Based Project Proposal

Some questions that arose from my literacy narrative was what are the actual economic and social consequences of not being an American Citizen? I want to look at the bigger picture and see what are the differences between immigrants who stay undocumented or who are denied citizenship with citizens. I was to analyse the wage gaps, the percentages that seek college education, and other injustices they experience. The argument i would want to pursue with these questions is that a immigration reform should be pushed that allows all immigrants legal or not, to be able to apply for U.S. Citizenship. I would need to find sources that have statistics regarding immigrant welfare. My target audience would be American citizens that are indifferent or opposed to said immigration reform. I would attempt to persuade them through my cousins anecdote and numerous statistical sources  to support a policy that would grant all immigrants citizenship.
