Breaking the Anti-immigrant Fever

On Saturday, February 18, 2017, the New York Times published an article titled Breaking the Anti-immigrant Fever. 


The Editorial Board of the New York Times (Breaking the Anti-immigrant Fever) wrote about daily deportations that has been made, tearing families apart, and those who are undocumented are threatened as if they were criminals. Especially those who have live here most of their lives and suddenly are fearful as fugitives. The argument being made is that Mr. Trump is deporting innocent people that are undocumented and not focusing on the people that are criminals. The provided evidence includes the difference between Mr. Obama's and Mr. Trump's deportations orders. (ICE and the Border Patrol under Mr. Obama were ordered to focus on arresting serious criminals and national security risks. Mr. Trump wants to triple the number ICE agents, revive federal agreements tot deputize state and local police officers, and wants to increase the number of detention beds and spur the boom in private prisons.

I believe this author provide numerous statistics to hook the readers attention to its point of view. The authors editorial is strongly confirmed in its opinion about the topic because it provides evidence that are clearly. Especially when it provide the difference between the two presidents, it got me thinking a lot. The sentiment of the opinion is fearful while, "Breaking the Anti-immigrant Fever." When speaking about a singular subject, such as, "Breaking the Anti-immigrant Fever," and providing evidence it shows about 99% of the picture. The logic is based on inspiring. Since it provides good evidence and well instructed. I believe this editorial was a good article, since it provide clear information on a primary subject. The opinions being stated are something that lots of people are thinking as well, but towards the end it feels more like a persuasive article.

On Wednesday, February 8, the New York Times published an article titled Before the wall: Life Along the U.S-Mexico Border, written by Azam Ahmed, Manny Villegas, and Paulina Villegas.


This article is mainly about people who live right next to the border wall, and witnessed those who try crossing it. These people tell their own stories how it was at first before the wall got more vigilant. Especially now that president Trump has confirm an executive order to begin the construction of the wall between the U.S and Mexico.

This article is very interested because it gives us an idea how these people sacrifices there life's to come into the U.S to work, and tend to have a decent job to be able to maintain their family's in Mexico. Especially now that president Trump wants to build the wall bigger, how it will affect those family's?
