  1. Rephrase your thesis. "Illegal immigration does not have a..." It doesn't make sense right now.

    Since we're writing a persuasive argument, you need to include an argument. What does the opposition say or feel about the topic? Why? This needs to be included somewhere in your outline.

    Also, I doubt you're ending the paper with impacts, so be sure to include, in the outline, a proper place for the conclusion.

  3. it looks good, the only thing that i would say would be that on the first part "definition of an illegal immigrant" it seems like that would fit better in another part of the outline.
