Aarav Stanton · Answer 1

I would say B: Paragraph 3

This would be a good place to place a counterclaim where your claim is "Immigrant contribute to the US economy" so you can show your unbiased and state "Yeah they effect our economy but sometimes in a bad way as they can drain us of our resources and negatively affect it"
