I have chosen the Texas blog: Immigrant fearing deportation make plans for kids.
Posted on October 9, 2011 by Texas Fred
Based on the title the overall gist of this story; Illegal immigrants look to be deported back to Mexico at anytime. In Birmingham, Alabama they plan to set strict new immigrant laws. Immigrants making prevision for their kids should this happen, by asking friends, relatives, co-workers, and acquaintances and even their bosses, should they be arrest or deported to please assist their children who will be left alone. Seeking legal documentation and signing document allowing others to care for their kids. There are several underlined topics in this blog. But because the topics don’t tie into Texas immigration issues the article is more suited to Birmingham Ala, or as a national piece. The title leads you down the path of immigrants fearing deportation, a fear and plan strategy for their kids should they be arrested or deported at the drop of a hat. It also leads to nationwide sympathy, which would implement immigration law once and for all and legalizing immigrants in the United States? Is this also about a group of people getting a free ride? Not paying their share of the taxes? Is it about getting a free education for their kids and social service benefits? Is it citizenship for their kids and a better life at any cost regardless of the law? These are key question. Here another should we continue to haggle about money, mores taxes, or just restructure the rules for becoming a citizen in this country, so that they can earn citizenship and we move on to other issues effecting our life style? Would the government pass a law, deporting all illegal immigrants, arrest them once they leave the house, pick them up from work, while there kids are in school? Are these story presented to us by the media as another “cry wolf”? To support this topic there should be a relationship to Texas as a Texas blog. Are these issue similar in Texas? Supporting evidence is not strong enough in relation to topic. The 14th amendments from the U.S. constitution, statements by state officials Senator Scott Beason and parental quotes need a clear and defined relation to Texas as part of the topic. Also by looking at Birmingham, Alabama official documents in relation to citizenship the article would gain more power. Providing and relating issue to Texas this commentary could be a more convincing piece. A lot of data, but it could use more connection to the implementation of the law of deportation, or just more data to support national sympathy on the issue. Data defining the process of when, how, and who will be affected and to what level.
