Project Proposal
Our project involves us examining the aspects of immigration. One aspect we will focus
on illegal immigration and its impact especially on rates of crime, terrorist attacks, and how
refugees/undocumented immigrants seek refuge and amnesty in US. Another aspect that my
group will discuss about is how illegal immigrants hurt the economy and why it does. In regards
to the economical situation, I want to discuss how the H1B, L1, and other foreign work visa caps
affect foreign workers in securing jobs in US. Yet at the same time, we will explore and talk
about how the US needs foreign workers to fuel US innovation and job creation. Furthermore, as
many people may believe, we will discuss how workers on foreign visas are not stealing jobs
from US workers and how hiring foreign workers is not cheap labor. Most of our research to
support our project will come from news articles and sources from USCIS, podcasts relating to
immigration, and first hand stories and interviews from people that actually went through the
process of securing job overseas, having employer sponsored work visa and permanent
residency. In addition I will be narrating my first hand account of my father struggled in his
career getting job as an overseas worker.
This plan is appropriate and correlates to my groups topic of interest because it is very
informative, highly discussed topic throughout the world, and I want to learn more about this
especially how it will affect future foreign workers. Moreover, not many people I have talked to
arent aware of how difficult and competitive job market overseas is. Theyre intention is to

protect US jobs and not be taken away from foreign workers. I want to expand their thoughts
onto this on how foreign workers brought into the US can contribute to increases productivity in
the workplace.
All of our roles and responsibilities are going to be pretty much the same. We all will be
researching articles and concrete evidence of impacts of illegal immigration, how legally entitled
foreign workers affect the economy, and taking into accounts of how foreign workers struggled
to get their first overseas jobs in US. As for the timeline and completion of this project, I intend
to (not sure of other members yet) to meet up on which specific days which we all agree on upon
to discuss if our research is credible or not, how we can modify that, and how we can implement
the multi-modes. As for this projects initial stage, I want to first focus how the linguistic and
visual modes can be tied into our project.
The closing message that I have intended for this project is I want to display an unique
message that represents all the aspects of immigration that I intend to discuss about in this
presentation. That image will prompt the audience to reconsider their views of how they think of
jobs especially how difficult the job market will get further in life which will give them a wake
up call telling him or her to be a ahead of the game. Also I want to instill a thought in peoples
that illegal immigrants are not welcome in the US, entitled to benefits, and how they should
legally follow a proper system and protocols to live in the US.
