S./Mexico border, and that the concerns go beyond simply illegal Mexican migrants.
Identify, in your own words, any propaganda techniques used by either of the authors.
Propaganda was used by both sides. Lamm (2002) uses the horror of September 11th to evoke emotion in the reader. He notes that those murderers were allowed into the country and lived, worked and played here before taking the lives of thousands of innocents.

She too plays on the reader's emotions, noting that poor Alfredo's son, who is an illegal alien in New York City, won't be able to come home to visit his family, because he would then have to risk sneaking back into the States. She further victimizes the illegal alien in question by noting how the kind soul sends his hard-earned money home to his family in Mexico each month. Of course, she fails to recognize that this money, although hard-earned, was also illegally begotten,

She is a writer for a respected periodical, and has interviewed Mexican citizens first-hand as support for her position.

Illegal Immigration Cost Cost to the California Criminal Justice System of Illegal Immigration The illegal immigration debate in the United States has taken center stage recently because the President and Congress have decided that is finally time to deal with the situation. Although there have been many stated solutions, it seems that no one can reach a conclusion that is satisfactory to all. In the past year the President has signed an
Those very same God-fearing Christian Americans are now under attack by illegal immigrants from countries like Mexico and also El Salvador, Philippines, China, and India. Illegal immigrants are a threat to American society, American economy, and the American way of life.

One potential resolution is a dual action step of tightening border control combined with reforming the process of becoming a citizen to allow easier access for immigrants to enter into the nation legally, rather than illegally.

With "the major source of illegal immigration from illegal border crossings, and most of these immigrants
Introduction What is criminal justice reform? It is the focus on improving the criminal justice system through the implementation of evidence-based best practices, policies that promote greater equitability fairness, and systems that are more cost-efficient (National Criminal Justice Association, 2019).
