In the article of Undocumented Immigrants, the writer (Forest) talks about how the uses of language is so important. The main thesis of the article is that the using of stereotypical terms to describe anyone from autistic children to undocumented immigrants are unacceptable, that is why we need to use more appropriate words to describe something. He claims that language is power. The writer is also successful in making the uses of rhetoric by giving us a real life story of Jose Antonio Vargas. Vargas was tired of all the pejorative language used to describe individuals in immigrants communities: “illegal aliens”.

I am writing in response to the article ‘Endless waves of Illegal Immigrants floods Rio Grande Valley” by Jana Winter for FOX NEWS on July 14, 2015. In this article, it mainly focuses its attention on the negative aspects of illegal immigrants and makes the reader believe that immigrants are the problem. The article, makes illegal immigrates seem like they are all criminals and villains. On top of that, this articles doe’s little to no explaining on the reasons for why immigrants to come to the United States. Having grandparents and parents who were illegal, I know some of the reasons and motives behind the decision to migrate to the United States such as escaping poverty, providing a better future for their kids, and the opportunity to pursue the American dream. If these points were added into this article, Americans would be more sympathetic to the situation of millions of immigrants and make movements to get legislation passed that would offer citizenship, work visa, and green cards to illegal immigrants.

The article also shows us that some laws are really absurd and discriminative towards illegal immigrants, for example “Officers enforcing immigration law can raid work sites, target day laborers, or set up checkpoints in public housing units. During these raids, they can factor in race, and they can arrest without individual probable cause” (“Policing Immigrant Communities”). Is that right? Not even at work undocumented immigrant can be comfortable. This is a form of racism because how can the officers know that they are illegal immigrants: by their color or by their stereotyping them? Why don’t they ask white people? Not all of them are legal either. Seriously, someone has to do something for this poor people, they need help and they need
