- What makes it controversial: They have access to many of the same social services as the citizens of the country who pay taxes and abide by the law. However, the illegal immigrants often do not disturb other legal citizens and they take a lot of unwanted jobs.
- Where I stand: I think that if illegal immigrants continue to be allowed to stay in America, more and more will come. It is not fair for tax paying citizens who pay for public health/other services to share those services with illegal citizens who do not pay tax. The country has to stop letting people into it who do not have visas/or who do not attempt to gain citizenship.
- What I'd like to learn: How can illegal immigration be stopped peacefully?
2. Gay Marriage
- What makes it controversial: Against the religious beliefs of many people. However, gay people have the same rights as everyone else.
- Where I stand: I am a Christian and because of that I don't think being gay is right, but everyone has the right to be happy. And if getting married lets them be happy, let them do it.
- What I'd like to learn: Where have same-sex marriages been legally recognized?
3. Death Penalty
- What makes it controversial: Do humans have the right to kill another human even if that person has commited a terrible crime?
- Where I stand: Killing criminals makes criminals out of innocent people that do the killing. It is morally wrong to kill another living being, regardless of their actions.
- What are other options for containing dangerous criminals?
