The fourth Artifact I found was a short clip from a fox new program. In the video, a news anchor expresses his opinion on the crisis of immigration in America, and he really helped me to understand the position America is in with whether we need to deport people or not. In the video clip, the news anchor talks about how, being the generous country that we are, America has let much too many illegal immigrants stay in America. However, this hasn't been much of a problem. He then goes on to say that it will become a problem if we let more waves of people come into America and stay without the United States deporting them.
The news anchor in the video then goes on to express his opinion on how this would become a huge problem in America if Obama doesn't promise there won't be more people moving into the US illegally and does something to prevent illegal immigration. He also says that it would be a very wise choice for politicians to favor the plan to not let any more illegal immigrants become residents because he claims that would get a politician eighty percent support from Americans.
In a large section The Distance Between Us, Reyna's family has a lot of trouble because they are in America illegally. Through the process of doing these reflections on the artifacts I've found, I've realized how much more difficult it would have been for Reyna's family if they had tried to immigrate in the modern time period instead of the time period that it was at the time. Now it has become a much more difficult process and in their situation in could have been almost impossible to make it as long as they did without being deported.
