Dear Mr. President,
I’m a high school student researching Illegal Immigration in the United States. I am writing this letter to you because there is no better person, that can make a change in the United States. You come from a humble family to being president and that is a huge success you have made.
Illegal Immigrants made America. Immigrants have lived in the United States for many years and they should be legalized. If illegal immigrants were to be legalized that would be one less problem for you and the United States to worry about. There are many immigrants in the United States, and immigrants are still circumnavigating around the border to get here. The government can’t propel all immigrants back to their home, or cease them from coming here. The best way to deal with Illegal immigrants is by legalizing them. Now that we have this recession many immigrants are going back to their homeland, but some immigrants have stayed. They have stayed because they have been here for many years and they have made the United States their home. They have adopted the United State culture, and they try to blend in.
Illegal immigrants do help the United States and the immigrants that have been here for many years should be legalized. Instead of sending ICE to go invade their jobs, you should legalize them. They made the United States their home, and they help our economy even thought they get taken advantage of. When you send immigrants back to their home land, you’re sending them back to nothing, so they end up coming back to the United States illegally. By legalizing immigrants they won’t have to break the law to get here and they would stop using illegal documentation. Immigrants have their children born here. Most kids don’t even finish high school, because their parents are immigrants and they have to drop out to work, and help them. If immigrants were to be legalized their children will finish high school, go to collage graduate, and then they would work for the United States.
Being president you have the power to make change. When debating the issues the congress filibuster’s the issue and change never occurs. You need to take positive action towards legalizing immigrants. By legalizing immigrants you well be a better known president. When it comes to voting for a new president again, people will believe you and support you, the people will know that you make change happen, and you will have more votes.
I hope to hear from you soon, and I hope you can make change happen.
Thank you for your time.

Sourses
Here are six sources I have used in my blogs. Some are bias, and others look at both side of the situation.
Passel, Jeffery. "National Origins Of Illegal Immigrants:2004." www.willisms.com. 14 June 2005. 24 Nov. 2009 .
This is the source were I got my graph from. The pie graph shows national origins of illegal immigrants in the year 2004. By showing me the percentage and the different types of immigrants in the United States, I know that immigrants from all over the world circumnavigate the borders to get to the United States. I already new that so the graph doesn‘t help me much. This graph is only good because it gives me a visual of the many different types of immigrants groups in the United States. It also shows me which immigrant group has the highest and lowest percentage in The United States. This source was okay because it wasn’t bias and I think it shows the right information. Other then that I don’t think it is reliable. The source isn’t reliable because it gives me information from 2004. And the source is about four years old. The graph on my blog, made people see the percentage of different immigrants in the United States, and I think it helped because some people understand better in visual.
Slack, Kevin. "Illegal Immigration May Be a Rift Issue." New York Times 11 Nov. 2009, Health sec.: 1-4. Print
.
This source was an article from the New York Times. It talked about Illegal immigrants and health issues. It said immigrants would not be able to benefit from health coverage Illegal Immigrants have to pay the full cost of their policies, but emergency rooms still have to treat immigrants. The article just let us know what was going on with immigrants and health. The author didn’t give his opinion but other people did like, Eric C. Rodriguez vice president of La Raza. He said, “These folks are not getting public benefits. It’s like saying that unauthorized workers should not use our highways or the internet.” The article was not bias because it was full of facts. It was a good source because it came from the news paper and it gave facts. It was also very recent, and reliable. This source gave me information that I didn’t know and that was good because I learned something new.
"Michael Ramos-Lynch '09: Border fence a bad idea - and illegal, too." www.browndailyherald.com. Jihan Chao · College Publisher powered by move and MTV Networks, 12 Apr. 2009. Web. 13 Nov. 2009.
This article came out in the Brown Daily Herald. The article talks about how the border fence is a bad idea. It moves on to how it’s unfair for immigrants. And the article ends with making the border fence look bad. It says that the fence has harmed the animal’s environment and the governments made a 3 million mistake when building the fence. It gives examples of what people think about the fence. For example, “The mayor of Laredo, Raul Salinas, stated in a National Public Radio report, "These are people that are sustaining our economy by forty percent, and I am gonna close the door on them and put a wall? You don't do that. It's like a slap in the face. The article was new to me because I didn’t know much about the border fence, and I thought that most Americans agreed with it. I think that if people read this article they will have a positive side when it comes down to illegal immigrants. They would also learn some thing to, like that the border fence harmed animals and that the border fence wasn’t such a good idea to build. I think this source was reliable because it was on the news paper and the publisher was MTV.
Stonger, Jon. "No Mas! Why the Border Fence is Not Enough." www.hereticalideas.com. 7 Aug. 2008. Web. 13 Oct. 2009.
This source talked about how the border fence was not enough. It pretty much gave ideas on other ways to keep immigrants out of the United States. It said that if the border fence in the south is doing good keeping people out, then building a wall in the north well be good to. If a wall were to be build in the north it would keep out more foreigners. The author also talked about how we should build a wall under seas, and a type of force field in the sky. The article went on to how the border wasn’t enough and that by building more fences it ill keep out terrorist and drug dealers. This article was the opinion of a person, therefore it just gives me different view points on illegal immigration. That’s good because I see different side on my topic. AlSo the author gave his ideas on what he though about the border and those are new ideas to me that I didn’t know about. I don’t think this source is reliable because it’s just a random person’s opinion.
"Illegal immigration." Usimmigrationsupport.org. Us immigration support, 2009. Web. 6 Oct. 2009. <
http://www.usimmigrationsupport.org/illegal_immigration.html
I used this source to do my website review. It was one of my first sources, and it gave me lot information this website talked about illegal immigration to the United States. It talked about why immigrants come to the United States. How they come here, what they do when they are in the United States, how they live, and are treated here. This was a very good and reliable source. It gave information that I new already, and other information that I didn’t. It was fast to navigate, it was laid out perfectly, and it doesn’t use circumlocution, I could find information fast and it got to the point. The best thing is that it is an independent organization; it’s not trying to make money like other websites. It provides you with reliable information because what is written is checked before being posted.
Head, Tom. "Why I Support Amnesty for Undocumented Immigrants." Civilliberty.about.com. 2009. Web. 23 Oct. 2009.
This source was about amnesty. I talked about how the author supports illegal immigration amnesty. The author shares his reasons. He goes on to explain that
12 to 20 million people are already leaving in the United States, and an amnesty will only benefit certain people. Amnesty is a good solution that would benefit both the United States and illegal immigrants. The source shows the authors view points and he backed up why immigrants should have amnesty. The website did look good but I don’t think this source is reliable because its persons view points. It didn’t help much but I thought it was good that he shared his opinion and was able to back it up.
Those were my six sources. Some were bias, others gave and pointed out facts. But I used all of them in my topic, and they helped me get my work done.

Dear Janet Napolitano,
I’m a high school student researching Illegal Immigration to the United States. I decided to write this letter to you because you’re a woman, were governor, and now you're head of the Department of Homeland Security. You have definitely succeeded in life, and I feel you can make a difference.
Illegal Immigrants have been in the United States for many years and they should be legalized. If Illegal Immigrants were to be legalized, it would benefit both immigrants and the United States. There are many Illegal Immigrants in the United States, and immigrants are still circumnavigating around the border to get here. The government can’t propel all immigrants back to their home, or cease them from coming here. Because of that, many people have political acumen against immigrants. Immigrants pay a high price to get to the United States. They have to leave their family and their home because of economy problems. Some immigrants migrate with their family, other time its just teens that come here to help their parents back at home. Some kids have lived in the United States since they were kindergartners. They adopt the language and the culture. Some finish high school and want to go to college but can’t because it’s harder for illegal immigrants to go; they end up working for low wages, and they never seem to succeed in life. When Immigrants get to the United States they are taken advantage of and harassed. By legalizing immigrants they will have an easier time assimilating the U.S. culture; they will pay taxes like every American, and stop using false documents. By legalizing immigrants, immigration to the United States will be one less issue to take care of.
Please consider these words, and I hope you can take positive action towards legalizing Illegal Immigrants in the United States.
Thank you for your time
