Research question: Should the government of the United States of America give an immediate solution to child immigration solutions at the border? Comment by Author: Replace with a title for your paper.

Thesis Statement: Due to the continued violation of the CPM custody stay rule for the undocumented and unaccompanied child immigrants, the American government needs to give an immediate solution to child immigration problems at the border to protect the innocence of the disadvantaged children.

Immigration into the United States of America has been ongoing since the colonial period. The first immigrants moved into the United States in the early 19th century to seek better economic opportunities. Currently, the United States of America is faced with a surge of immigration by people seeking economic, education, better living conditions, and to escape from troubled home countries. As the immigration into the United States continues, the American government is facing a new problem that results from the immigration of unaccompanied and undocumented children. Currently, unaccompanied children who cross the border into the United States of America get held up at the CPB custody before transferring to the Office of Refugee Resettlement. At CPB custody, the young immigrants are supposed to stay there for a maximum of seventy hours. Still, investigations have indicated that the children spend more than seventy hours in legal custody. The conditions at the CPM are not favorable for a long stay of the minors hence putting them at a risk of their rights being violated. Due to the continued violation of the CPM custody stay rule for the undocumented and unaccompanied child immigrants, the American government needs to give an immediate solution to child immigration problems at the border to protect the innocence of the disadvantaged children. Comment by Author: Make sure your thesis includes tension. Begin with “Despite,” “While,” “Although,” or “Though,” the opposing argument, a comma, then this sentence. See the example provided.
