Answer 1

problem, plan and action.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, Jeremy has provided two steps for solving the problem. The first step, 'we need to reverse the economic policies that keep illegal immigrants from earning a living in their own country' focuses on the main problem and provides a plan to reverse economic policies. The second step, 'we need to provide a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who are already here' provides a plan to handle the situation in the own country by taking action and creating pathways for illegal immigrants who are already here. Hence, problem, plan and action are addressed by Jeremy in this persuasive speech.
