More Information on Illegal Immigration
This week we've had two University chapels devoted to the subject of illegal immigration. On Monday we heard from our U.S. Representative regarding the government position and on Wednesday we heard from a Baptist General Convention of Texas representative and how to minister to illegal immigrants within the law.
The library has many resources on this and related topics and for good basic pro-con information we suggest you look at CQResearcher, Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center, and TOPICsearch. Additional information will be found in almost all of the other electronic resources listed on the library's web site.
From CQResearcher you'll find several reports, including the recent "Immigration Debate" (2/1/2008). You can also track this and related topics back to 1992 including "Real ID" (5/4/2007); "Illegal Immigration" (5/6/2005); "Debate Over Immigration" (7/14/2000); "The New Immigrants" (1/24/1997); "Cracking Down on Immigration" (2/3/1995); "Immigration Reform" (9/24/1993); and "Illegal Immigration" (4/24/1992). Additional reports can be found under the topics Immigration and Naturalization and Outsourcing and Immigration.
Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center includes the electronic version of the famous "Opposing Viewpoints" series of books (which the library also carries). In addition there are reference materials, articles, news stories, and more - you can either search for your topic, or pick the subject "Illegal immigration" on the popular topics list found on the front page. In addition OVRC includes a critical thinking component that will give you even more information.
TOPICsearch is part of the EBSCOhost family of databases. Again, you can either search for your topic or choose from a current events or topics list on the search page - in this case choose the topic "immigration" and it will return citations for periodicals, newspapers, book reviews, government documents, and opinions.
Don't forget to consult other databases such as Academic Search Complete, JSTOR, SocINDEX, Education Research Complete, Health Source: Nursing/Academic, etc. for even more information on this and other topics.
