This is my last blog post on my topic, Illegal Immigration to The United States. From my topic I learned a lot. I will reflect on how I feel about my topic, and on how this research project has help me. This first semester I don’t think I have changed much. I did what I had to do but other then learning about my topic I don’t I learned anything else.
This semester I have been an outstanding student. I have turned in all my assignments on time and if I have any doubts, I come in and ask for help and clarification. When I need help with something, I go to my friends first, and then my teacher. Sometimes I won’t get a chance to get my paper revised and ill just do what I can on it. I’m pretty responsible, so when it came down to doing my blogs I used my time wisely. When finished with my assignment, I had some one edit it and see if I wasn’t missing anything that I needed.
I noticed that researching is really hard when you do it right. You have to write citations have your sources in order and add quotations to back up what you write. Different types of writing weren’t hard for me, once I had them explained. The hardest thing for me was writing in third person. It was hard for me because I’m used to writhing in first person. My non fiction book was boring but it had a lot of information that I didn’t know. I didn’t use the information on my book because it was an old book that isn’t reliable today. I think that by doing these blogs I made my self a stronger researcher. I think this because we wrote blogs every week, and most of the time we had to research our topic. The problem I have and have always had is putting my information together so it flows. Also that my blogs aren’t always edited and even if they you could still find mistakes in them.
All the information that I learned I will keep, especially current issues today. My topic will always stay with me because I come from an immigrant family. Because of that I will continue to get more information on the topic. When I started this topic I didn’t any much, but now I have more knowledge on it. I like the topic I chose but it got boring writing about it every week. This topic will stick with me forever, and I’m glad that I got the chance to get more information then I new about it.

Book Review
This week’s blog was about a book that I read. The book is called They All Chose America by Albert Q. Maisel. The book told me something’s that I already new, like that different immigrant groups circumnavigate the world to get to the United States. It also gave a lot of information that I didn’t know anything about, and I found very interesting. They All Chose America is a book about different immigrants in the United States. And this is the book review.
Albert Q. Maisel, wrote this book because he wants people to know that immigrants played a big part in characterizing the United States. “Through all our history, the influx of immigration has exerted in tremendous effect upon both the direction and the rate of our material and culture development.” Many people today are ignorant, they are bias against immigrants and they don’t know that the United States customs and culture come from immigrants, and there homeland. “Immigration has continued to operate as a major force-and often a decisive one-in the shaping of our national destiny.” The author will make you reflect on immigrants because he made his purpose meet in this book.
They All Chose America is an easy book read. It talks about the different immigrant groups that came to the United States. The different immigrants groups are alphabetically organized incase you want to read a certain group, and the sections are easy to find. In each section, it talks about how each immigrant group contributed to the United States. The book names immigrant and immigrant descendents that today very famous. The structure of the book made it easy to read and find information. The book is very informative and it got to the point. The book to me though seemed jejune.
The book They all Chose America is a very old book published in New York 1955, by company Thomas Nelson & Son. Back then the book was reliable, but since it is old, many things have changed today, and it wouldn’t be reliable to use now in day. The book can be used to do research on immigration back in the day. It has reliable sources and it gave a lot of information. The author is not bias because he is just trying to informe people how immigrants shape up the United States. And he has sources to back up his information.
By reading this book you will find out how each immigrant group helped shape up the United States. Some immigrants groups brought their culture, words, inventions, food and people that are famous now in the U.S. history. For example, The Dutch brought Santa Claus. “He was of course their Sint Nicolaas, and he was adopted by us all.” The English learned to grow tobacco and it became very popular here. Our famous Paul Revere was the son of a French immigrant, and Hamburgers is German food. Capone and the Lucianos were involved in the Italian mafia and they became very well know. From Mexicans the United States got many words, like bronco, rodeo, canyon, plaza and many more. The book gives more information about different immigrant groups and what the United States adopted from them, all you have to do is read the book.
Albert Q. Maisel uses narrative in the book. Hd uses expository text that goes into detail. He gives facts in his book, and he also tells short stories. Most words are common but others I have never seen before. Most sentences are medium length, not to short or long. He uses some big words to describe things, and to make some sentences short. Sense it’s an old book some words I have never seen so I don’t know what they mean.
They All Chose America gave me a lot of information about illegal immigration to the United States. It didn’t really help me because the book is old and therefore it isn’t recent. It did help me thought when I had to write background information on my topic, or when focusing in a specific immigrant group. I learned a lot of stuff that I had no idea about, like Greek dominate the sponge fishing industry, and they were, “the highest ethnic group to serve in our armed forces in World War I.” What I liked was that the book made immigrants look good. The book showed how immigrants made this place, bringing there culture, words, and inventions here. I would recommend this book when researching different immigration groups in the United States. Also when wondering were and from were we got certain customs and things .The book They all Chose America by Albert Q. Maisel was good, and I feel smarter after reading it.

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

Graph
The data I got is easy to understand. It has different countries with the percent they cover in the United States Illegally. I don't think the source is reliable because it shows information from 2004. And the source doesn't seem reliable because I haven’t heard of it. The graph explained to me why the government has very high political acumen against the Mexicans and other Latin Americans, and it is because they are the most illegal group in the

Illegal Immigration and Health Coverage
The article for this week’s bog that I chose was, Illegal Immigration May Be a Rift Issue. I got the article from The New York Times. I started with the New York Times because it would be easy to choose an article from the last thirty days. When I got to the New York Times site, I typed in my topic, Illegal Immigration to the United States. The first article that popped out was Illegal Immigration May Be a Rift Issue. I chose that article because it was posted that same day I got it. Another reason why I chose the article was that I did not know anything about what was going on with Illegal Immigrants and health care, but now I epiphany it.
The article mostly had facts that talked about health care and illegal immigrants. The legislation house confronted with the senate about Illegal Immigrants having access to public resources. Immigrants will 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. Many people how oppose, believe that immigrants will not be able to afford paying their health costs. Eric C. Rodriguez vice president of La Raza said, “These folks are not getting public benefits. It’s like saying that unauthorized workers should not use our highways or the internet.” Rodriquez believes that some immigrant families might fear gaining coverage for their kids that are citizens.
I think that it is not fair for immigrants to benefit from health coverage. I do not think its fair because immigrants are in the United Sates and they work hard like any other American living here. I feel that it is discrimination towards them. Immigrants are not rich, most work labor jobs for cheap wages, which probably means that they will not be able to afford their health care without help. The only things that I agree with from this article are that immigrant families with citizen children will be scared to ask for health care help for their children. In addition, I think that it is good that emergency rooms have to help immigrants when needing treatment.
Illegal Immigration May Be a Rift Issue was a very short and jejune article. The article was new for me and the health issue is unfair for illegal immigrants. I think that people should remember that immigrants that are in the U.S. In addition, they work hard for cheap pay. It is unfair for them pay health coverage when they are not paid enough to afford it. Over all it think that it is Unfair for Illegal Immigrants to pay health coverage.
