Reflection+on+Immigration

The theme of this page is immigration. For community action this year I have been working with immigrants from Latin America, so the main focus of my page is Latin American immigrants and immigration. The first video on my page was taken from the immigration rally on May 1, 2006 in Chicago. The rally was a huge success from immigration activists because so many people were involved and the rally encouraged many other rallies throughout the country. In the video some of the people in the rally are saying, "Bush, listen we are in the fight" in Spanish. Additionally, I chose some quotes from the novel Brown by Richard Rodriguez that I thought were appropriate to represent some stereotypes that are made about Latinos in the United States. I also took some quotes from President Bush’s speeches on immigration and how he wants to deal with the issue. I also chose some images to represent President Bush’s opinions. I also chose a video about the Minutemen who are a group of Americans that think the government is not doing a sufficient job of keeping immigrants out of the United States and are violently taking the law into their own hands. The Minutemen are extremely harsh on illegal immigrants. The American Dream
