Talk:The Evolution of Immigration in the United States: the RAISE Act

Hi Justine! This is an amazing wiki page! I found the different history of the United States by major years very interesting! I am an American citizen myself, but I never looked in depth about the immigration history. Also, I enjoyed how you addressed the implications and outcomes of the RAISE Act as well. I found the page very insightful. Thanks!

Very interesting wiki! You've definitely covered a wide scope of historical immigration policy. I especially liked that you described aspects of the Raise Act in clear and sufficient detail. Your Advantages/Disadvantages section could use a bit of work, however. You've outlined some important (mis)conceptions, but it could be much more effective to include more factual evidence about the pros and cons of immigration.

To back up the perceptions of immigration you've mentioned, check out these articles:
