This episode is a dialog between Ann and Chris, about a popular issue in the United States – immigration. Let’s get started!
[start of dialog]
Ann: The immigration policy in this country is ridiculous. Why are there so many illegal immigrants here? They cross the border and take American jobs! They all need to be deported.
Chris: A lot of immigrants have lived here nearly all their lives. Do you mean to tell me that you want to do some of the jobs that undocumented workers do, like picking crops and cleaning houses, and not earning minimum wage?
Ann: There’s nothing wrong with that kind of work.
