Project: News Bias Analysis [100 points] Instructions
For the formal analysis portion of the assignment, you will prepare a written report that answers questions regarded your selected articles. Address all parts of the assignment and questions. Demonstrate that you have put effort into thinking about your responses. Answers that only quote or repeat the readings or lectures are less valued than responses that also incorporate your thoughtful contributions. Your answers should include at least one thoughtful and specific paragraph per question (except when simply reporting the URL or citation, of course).
Include a References section and make use of the course reading assignments. Topic [20 points]
1. Clearly summarize the topic that you have selected for your analysis. What topic or current event is covered in your selected articles? [10]
2. Explain why the topic is of interest. Why is the topic relevant or important? [10]
Biased Article [40 points]
3. Report the complete and accurate URL where the article can be obtained. Report the APA-style citation of the article. [10]
4. Summarize how the article demonstrates biased coverage of the topic. Provide an overview of the major bias exhibited in the article. You must address at least one bias, but your project will be much stronger if multiple biases are addressed. [10]
5. For each bias analyzed, clearly define the bias. How does the bias operate and affect human reasoning processes? You may need to consult outside resources if your examples include biases not discussed in the readings! [10]
1. each bias should be discussed individually (i.e., separate paragraphs)
2. clearly link your answers to readings from the course (or beyond)
6. For each bias analyzed, provide specific evidence that supports your claims. What arguments or quotes expressed in the article “prove” that bias has occurred? [10]
1. each bias should be discussed individually (i.e., separate paragraphs)
2. clearly link your answers to readings from the course (or beyond)
Minimally Biased Article [40 points] 1. Report the complete and accurate URL where the article can be obtained. Report the
APA-style citation of the article. [10]
2. Summarize how the article potentially avoids biased coverage of the topic. Provide an overview potential biases avoided by the article. You must address at least one bias, but your project will be much stronger if multiple biases are addressed. [10]
3. For each bias analyzed, clearly define the bias. How does the bias operate and affect human reasoning processes? You may need to consult outside resources if your examples include biases not discussed in the readings! [10]

Immigrants Aren't Taking Americans' Jobs, New Study Finds. Retrieved February 06, 2018 Employers who employ international laborers are currently liable to experience extra investigation. In one of his first proactive attempts to decrease the number of immigrants illegally in one of his first proactive endeavors to diminish the quantity of immigrants illegally entering the U.S. furthermore, the country's workforce, Trump has pledged to build the quantity of U.S. Border Patrol Agents to an exceptional 26,000. Immigration is particularly vital for areas that are encountering a decrease in local relocation and that U.S. movement levels are right now energizing most group statistic picks up. These additions are particularly critical as the country's population gets more seasoned and ripeness stays low.

The evidence in this article doesn't offer much help for the prominent bias against immigration, and globalization all the more for the most part.

KABC. (2016, September 21). Study: Immigrants don't take jobs from native-born Americans. Retrieved from http://abc7.com/news/study-immigrants-dont-take-jobs-from-native-born-americans/1521374/
I agree with him on one thing: The immigration system in the country is broken and needs to be fixed. We have a long-term fix and a short-term fix. The first thing we have to fix is DACA and [Temporary Protected Status recipients] because of what’s about to happen. But trying to create a "merit-based system" that splits up families and gives more control to employers isn't going to fix the system, it's going to make it worse.
Right now, when an immigrant comes into this country [to work], they don't have their green card, the employer has their green card. That gives that employer tremendous leverage. If they work in unsafe conditions and they start to complain about it, then they whack them, they get rid of them, and use the green card to bring in somebody else. The point is that the system is broken because workers have too little power.
If you took all the immigrants out of the economy right now, you'd quite frankly debilitate it. It's not that they're hurting the economy, they're actually making the economy run. They do their job every day, they pay their taxes, they do everything on the right side. It’s working, except they don’t have rights, so they get taken advantage of and that hurts the rest of us. It’s them being taken advantage of, not the fact that they're there. Economists say that skilled immigrant workers are clearly good for the American economy. The United States could import computers; if it instead imports computer engineers, the money they earn is taxed and spent in the United States. Moreover, some of those engineers invent new products — or even entirely new technologies. The administration says it still wants high-skilled workers, and it has described the cuts as targeted at low-skilled immigrants. It would still issue roughly 140,000 merit-based green cards each year, while sharply reducing the number of people admitted as family members of current residents.
