Pro and Anti Latino Immigration

The first website I have found is a petition website and there is a very anti Latino Immigration petition that was set up in 2006, a section is titled "Kick the dirty Mexicans out of the US!" The petition page was created in 2002, but the founder is unknown.

This website isnt just an informative site, it is a petition based website to get Mexicans out of the US and to stop them taking America's jobs. This particular petition has 100 signatures, so its goes to show how strongly people feel about Mexicans being in the country.

Some of the comments are very aggressive and, i think, offensive. One comment said that "Mexicans are dirty, stinky garbage".

Overall, this website poses as a good anti latino immigration site because they describe, in this case, mexican with very negative words. It zero's in on a particular minority that people know are very likely to take our worst jobs.....

This now brings the blog into an opposite direction with a pro Latino Immigration website, this site is more of descriptive piece on pro latino immigration, written by an individual who discusses immigration as a big topic in America today he says that Latino's have done America a huge favor to help the economy by doing the jobs that no other American would ever do! He also says the that America has been 'letting' immigrants into the US with out them even having to consider crossing the border:

"The truth of this is that you do not need to sneak across the boarder to get into the United States. Every year the United States is letting more and more immigrants into the United States. In 2005 1,122,373 immigrants were allowed into the country."

Halfway through his statement it seems that he takes either an opposite side to the argument or he is 'on the fence', because he says: "Immigrants have almost every right that any citizen in the United States has but illegal immigrants have no right to be living in the United States. Why should illegal immigrants be allowed into the United States and take the jobs of those who came to the United States and worked hard to get their citizenship. Illegal immigrants are hurting everyone whether they realize it or not. "Illegal immigrant's first act in this country was to break the law." (Ian de Silva, 2) By coming into the United States illegally they are already breaking a law and should not be allowed into the United States unless they do it legally and properly."

To me this says that everyone has a right to enter into the country as long a you do it the right way and you cannot be judged for it or criticized.

Overall, the two websites are very different the Anti Immigration one is very opinionated with people expressing only their views while the other is more factual with information to backup his theories on the subject.
