Immigration Bibliography

 

This is a list of resources you may want to use as you begin researching this year’s J.P. Morgan Chase Lincoln Douglas Debate resolution. This list in no way claims to cover every possible source of good information on this topic, and is just meant as a starting off point for your own research. Still, we will continue to update it throughout the year, so you should be able to use the online version of this bibliography throughout the year. Visit www.impactcoalition.org/dsch/bibliography to access the online bibliography.
