For this assignment, assume you are the new
Secretary of Homeland Security. You are drafting a Policy Document referred to
as a “White Paper” for the Biden Administration to highlight the impact of
open/closed borders in the age of COVID-19 on migration, asylum seekers, and
economic recovery. In this white paper, consider the following to frame your
paper.
Define
what YOU believe an “OPEN” vs “CLOSED” border means especially when
dealing with those seeking asylum. Reminder that you can provide your
opinion without using “I think” or something similar.
How do you
believe illegal migrants can be treated humanely and with
dignity/inclusion?
How does
an “open” vs a “closed” border impact the United States economy?
What are
your recommendations for the next 12-24 months on specific steps that the
new administration needs to take?
