The third artifact I found was an article from the Wall Street Journal called Obama Weighing Business-Friendly Immigration Actions. The article stated that our president, Barak Obama, has been evaluating options to change the immigration policy so they could possibly change it to be more friendly to businesses. It would also make people in the United States illegally more protected. Many businesses are pushing to remove the requirement of dependents for employment green cards. This would double the amount of employment green cards per year to 280,000 green cards a year.
Based on the first two artifacts I examined, this could become a big problem in America. The article and commercial I first analyzed as artifacts talked a lot about how there is too many immigrants in fAmerica and that was causing a problem because not enough citizens of America are working. Based on these, it would appear to me that, should these changes be made to the immigration policy, they will not be good for people in America looking for work. This is because there will be many more people looking for work, making more competition for people already living in America and trying to find for work.
Though I don't agree with this action, I do think it would have been good for Reyna's family in The Distance Between Us. In the book, Reyna's dad illegally immigrates into the US for work. However, he didn't have a green card to be in America. If the action that is being considered now was activated when the events in The Distance Between Us were happening, it would have been much easier for Reyna's father to get his green card earlier on and it wouldn't have been as much of a problem in the book. They wouldn't have to hide the fact that they immigrated from Mexico, and would have to, and Grande describes it in the book, "hide in the shadows."
