As Utilitarianism is the greatest good for the greatest number of people I'd put my focus on that. Arguing that surely helping a thousand people is better than helping one or two, or whether the human rights of one person (such as a refugee) outweigh the rights of a country they are seeking to enter (or some other current issue... current issues work well). Remember that you don't have to believe what you are arguing.

Act utilitarianism focuses on the consequences of individual actions to determine what is morally right, while rule utilitarianism emphasizes following rules that lead to the greatest overall happiness. An example of act utilitarianism would be a doctor deciding to save the life of a patient in critical condition, even if it means breaking hospital rules. On the other hand, an example of rule utilitarianism would be a society adopting a rule that prohibits stealing, as following this rule generally leads to greater overall happiness even if there are occasional exceptions where stealing might seem justified.
