It is a blog site site written by a man called Waldo Benavidez, which focuses on the negative effect of immigration in the state of Colorado. One of his main arguments is the effect immigration has had on the "working poor" of the USA. I think he makes a few fair points and claims he has not set up the website to, as he puts it, be an "immigrant basher" but near the end of his blog he tries to argue that their have been a huge number of murders in and around the border of Mexico which have gone unsolved and that this is a reflection of how little regard Mexicans have for their own people which frankly is a ridiculous point. This site also provides a link to a website for CAIR (Colorado Alliance for Immigration Reform) which is a non-profit organisation which is "seriously concerned with Americas rapid population growth"
The website I have found for pro-immigration in the south-west is:
Immigration Works USA is a national organisation which aims to help immigration reform to benefit all Americans. The organisation is present in 25 states in the US. There were a few states to chose from in terms of the south-west of America but I chose this one:
This site is Texans for Sensible Immigration Policy. I wanted to pick a site that wasn't Latino run as I thought it might be to bias so thought this was a good site as it is Texan, which is arguably the biggest republican state, who are of course most related with anti-immigration policies. I like it because it is a fairly balanced site. It states that illegal immigration needs to be stopped as it has got out of controls but they are simple and fair measures which can be taken to help achieve this.
