Since it is the last Blog Post I thought it was a good idea to write about this response article to the event that Dean attended and a brave young man spoke his thoughts on the current immigration policies. The article is exactly what you would expect; it details all the good the President is doing for the issue of immigration, and how hard he is working. The article says nothing about the event and the criticism the President heard. The article is very one sided, but it is interesting how the same issue and the same exact words can be used in a different context. I believe this is one of the factors that keeps immigration issues from being resolved. I find it ironic that politics the very institution that is supposed to be solving these issues is actually halting that change.

Follow up to the Other side Immigration Response
Since watching the film I became really interested in mexican immigration, fortunately I have to research this topic for another class and was able to come across an article titled "Life on the Line" the article can be found on the school's database. The article is a culmination of many different stories having to do with border crossing. An example is the story of Eduardo who almost died walking from Mexico to Arizona, but was saved by a family who lives in the area. A second story was that of an undercover drug agent who was attempting to stem the flow of drugs that usually accompany the coyotes who lead illegal immigrants across the border. The article is insightful and heartbreaking and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the movie.
