EXAMPLE OF AN INTRODUCTION
Fellow Americans, we are being besieged by hordes of illegal people who are bringing crime, drugs, and poverty into our great nation. As citizens, it is our duty to defend our homeland from this unwashed invasion south of our border. Your women, children, and jobs are threatened daily by a mass influx of uneducated criminals and gang members who will overcrowd and overwhelm our health services and take advantage of our welfare system. And guess who will pay for these people who violate our laws? Yes, you! The only way to stop them is to build a beautiful wall that Mexico will pay for. Join me in making America great again!
