The B Paper:
- The reader of a B paper knows exactly what the author wants to say. It is well organized, it presents a worthwhile and interesting idea, and the idea is supported by sound evidence presented in a neat and orderly way. Some of the sentences may not be elegant, but they are clear, and in them thought follows naturally on thought. The paragraphs may be unwieldy now and then, but they are organized around one main idea. The reader does not have to read a paragraph two or three times to get the thought that the writer is trying to convey.
- The B paper is always mechanically correct. The spelling is good, and the punctuation is accurate. Above all, the paper makes sense throughout. It has a thesis that is limited and worth arguing. It does not contain unexpected digressions, and it ends by keeping the promise to argue and inform that the writer makes in the beginning.
The A Paper:
- The A paper has all the good qualities of the B paper, but in addition it is lively, well- paced, interesting, even exciting. The paper has style. Everything in it seems to fit the thesis exactly. It may have a proofreading error or two, or even a misspelled word, but the reader feels that these errors are the consequence of the normal accidents all good writers encounter. Reading the paper, we can feel a mind at work. We are convinced that the writer cares for his or her ideas, and about the language that carries them. The sure mark of an A paper is that you will find yourself telling someone else about it.

Introduction
During the times of post war, especially the first and Second World War, and again after the Vietnam War, immigration was promoted and welcomed; it created prosperity and a multi cultural country; ensuring growth and prosperity. Immigration allowed population growth and diversification of skills, intellectual property and an immediate surge in the birth rates, something the ravages of war depleted.
Body
There is no doubt that the US migrant population growth is at its highest level in over 100 years of history. During 1900 to 1910 the US saw over 850,000 immigrants entered the country per year.The US census of 2000 shows that over 1.2 million immigrants are entering the country legally and illegally each year. The population grew by 32.7 million since 1990; the largest growth in US recorded history. Stating this fact based on the Center for Immigration Studies we can conclude that immigration impacted the US population growth by 43%. In addition, this immigration population gave birth to an additional 6.9 million children during the 1990’s concluding that the main factors for the US growth is immigration not national growth in our own population.
Conclusion:
Americans have always been tolerant to immigration up until 9/11 and illegal immigration debates. There is even a romantic aspect to immigration and economic prosperity, as summed up on the Statue of Liberty, erected in 1886 proclaiming at her base “give us you’re tired, you’re poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” At that time, the USA went through a wave of immigration and today we are in the midst of a larger wave outdoing our last 100 years of history.
