Economics of Risk

Think about...

• What do you know now that you didn’t know before about what goes into making the decision to come to the United States?
• What do you know now that you didn’t know before about the situations that undocumented workers face in their jobs?
• What do you think lawmakers should do to address the situations of people like Maria and Elvira?

6. Based on what you have learned, what are the three most important things you want to tell your congressional representatives about the situation of undocumented workers? List them. Then write one paragraph about each of the three topics. In the paragraph, provide information about the topic and your views about it.

Email Luttke your paragraph at aluttke@homeoftheshamrocks.org.

Check your email for a response from Luttke. After you modify your paragraph based on her suggestions, then

Turn your three paragraphs into an email letter to your congressional representatives. Send the emails. You may find the contact information for your state representatives at www.house.gov.
