Deportation Plan

An article published in the Dallas Morning News on the 23rd of February discusses the shocking reality of Donald Trump’s costly plan to deport millions. Trump has proposed to deport all undocumented immigrants in the United States and prevent anyone from coming in illegally in the future. I feel that if all of these people are removed from the country, there would not be enough unemployed workers left to fill all of those spots. I feel that the article was informative. I knew that Trump's deportation plan was going to be costly, but it blew my mind whenever I saw an estimated cost. The article was well written and easy to read, even for someone with no prior knowledge on the subject. The writer definitely provided the information in an organized manner. The author claims that we should just forget about the wall because it will cost the economy hundreds of billions. This claim flows clearly throughout the article, bringing in facts to support his/her claim. I feel that the writer did his/her best to provide an unbiased approach and present facts. The article was directed at Texas' general public; more specifically, citizens who are not aware of this issue, or are not already supports of undocumented immigrants and their rights. 

 

   

ICE raid in Ausitn?

According to the recent article by Mary Tuma, published in the Austin Chronicle, Trump's war on sanctuary cities played out in Austin, Texas on February second.  After President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order that makes substantial changes to America’s immigration system. Sheriff Sally Hernandez, however, pledged not to comply with noncriminal ICE request. Hernandez  plans to take away the privilege to immigration agents to have access to her jail.  Having this new federal order there has been tension between Sheriff Sally Hernandez and state leader, Governor Greg Abbott. Gov. Abbott vows to remove sheriffs who protect undocumented immigrants. The governor to cut off $1.5 million in county funds used to finance various programs unrelated to law enforcement. Abbott had threatened to cut off those funds to force Hernandez to comply with his demands. I most definitely enjoyed this article and believe it is worth reading. I was amazed by Hernandez's actions. In my perception, I feel that anyone who is willing to risk their job to help others, is simply incredible.
