The Bartel Scandal

The ethical dilemma in the case of “Will the Real Lupe Garza Please Stand Up” is whether or not to hire Carmen Mendoza for a permanent full-time position at RW Printing after it is revealed that she unlawfully used the identity of “Lupe Garza” to gain legal status for employment purposes. If Carmen is not hired for the position, she will not be able to support her children as the sole caretaker and provider. If Carmen is hired, RW Printing could potentially face a multitude of legal repercussions as well as a devastating decline of its workforce. Mark Solomon, an RW Printing HR specialist, must make a moral decision, but also not illegal, to help protect himself and the company. He is forced to make a decision on whether to leave Carmen and her family without a home with the possibility of deportation, or engage in illegal activities by hiring an undocumented worker.

In the passionate article “Immigrant Problem Is About Us, Not Them” Jo-Ann Pilardi argues that the media focuses on a single aspect of illegal immigration, as it relates to our economy, instead of drawing attention towards the real problem: big business.

Roberto Suro and Walter Pincus, journalists for The Washington Post, have years of experience. Suro has written books on immigration, and is a professor at University of Southern California. Through Pincus’ career, he was awarded with the 1997 George Polk Award, 1981 Emmy, and 2010 Authur Ross

There were many people that were involved in the Tweed Ring scandal, but William “Boss” Tweed and Thomas Nast were the most important. William “Boss” Tweed started his journey to power in the 1940s as a volunteer fire fighter.

Even though Vargas knew what he was doing was wrong, he convinced himself that if he lived up to the qualities of a citizen he would be o.k. (Vargas 7). Vargas talks about when he returned to Washington he told one of the higher ups, Peter, about his secret. Peter told him to keep doing what he’s doing and once he has accomplished enough they will tell the chairman. Vargas eventually leaves the paper and moves to New York to join The Huffington Post. Vargas talks about his successes of working for The Huffington Post but ended up leaving because he couldn’t take the guilt and the lies he was telling himself and friends about his problem of being illegal. Vargas ends his article by explaining why he finally admitted to being an illegal immigrant and how he feels now after he has admitted to it.

I had always had a preconceived notion that hispanics were a united community that supported one another and wanted their families and friends to migrate to the United States. The article states that about 90% of Latino Americans believe that English is necessary to learn (Leo,1). The article also discussed more of the ideal the Latino’s of today hold which was gathered in a survey by de la Garza the “National Political Survey” where Latinos are more likely to vote against their own and uphold the traditional American ideals. I was not surprised that CNN was making a dubious and politically generated claim on race and the soon coming oppression of white people. American television is heavily generated with political agendas which is the point Leo is trying to point

How do the different U.S. mainstream media such as newspapers and other types of news like television networks portray recent debates about illegal immigration? There will be a main focus on the New York Times representing the U.S., being one of the top prestigious papers of this nation, and the trusted channel CNN. With the variety of sources now established, we can now compare and point out its differences as well as similarities, and analyze the point of views of the people involved. As we compare these two sources, I will not only observe the article’s facts and interviews, but also, the way they portray immigrants and officials on the chosen images. We will also see distinguish the real facts from the ones that framed as facts by

“Leoncio and Eva went to the scene and found themselves confronted with cameras and microphones and photographers from every media outlet in Lima. ‘The newspapers were desperate, the radio was desperate, and I was desperate,’ Leoncio said.” (Alarcón 86). With this quote, Alarcón invokes pathos to make the audience understand how truly upsetting it is when a person is exploited by the media.The media’s desperation for a good story is eye-opening; the media outlets would not let Ruth Thalia’s family have a moment of peace in their time of need. Shortly after people realized that Ruth was locally famous, the media outlets did whatever they found necessary to get a good story, including possible abuse to Ruth’s family. The media wanted exclusive access to her family. The local media frequently went to their house to ask for interviews; this was just another way to see how they could further manipulate the story to get better ratings. This story is an example of how the media truly doesn’t care about the public and is solely interested in a good story and ratings. The wellbeing of a person does not matter unless that person is in the public eye. The media has the power to make a person the greatest celebrity of all time, regardless of their talents. In Ruth’s situation, she quickly became an overnight sensation due to her over sharing of her secrets on “El Valor de la Verdad”. It seemed as if no one cared about her disappearance until she was recognized as a guest from the game show. If she had not been on the show; she also may not even be dead

The treatment of illegal immigrants in the workplace is both a legal issue and a serious moral concern. Understanding that there are approximately 8 million unauthorized individuals contributing to the US workforce there is an ethical obligation to protect their personal rights and establish companies’ duties and responsibilities to these workers. Undocumented workers can be found in all industries, however they tend to be overrepresented in the fields of construction and farming; providing basic employee rights to these individuals is a minimal requirement (). Additionally, immigrant employees are susceptible to increasingly abusive workplace environments. Often lacking an understanding of their rights and protections provided under U.S. laws, immigrants face language barriers, feelings of isolation, and their race and gender brand them as easy targets for abuse. Predominately immigrant employees find themselves working in low-wage positions and industries including: agriculture, manufacturing, restaurant and hotel services, child care, and other retail outlets. Despite federal laws and regulations outlawing harassment and discrimination, illegal immigrants are often subjected to physical and verbal abuse in the workplace and employers take advantage of workers with little fear of repercussion. In instances where illegal immigrants have attempted to affirm their rights, employers have asserted that violations or claims filed are invalid and therefore not eligible for legal remedy based on the employee’s immigration status. Efforts crafted by these organizations have discouraged undocumented workers from exercising their rights to insist on a workplace free of harassment and exploitation, often fearing deportation or separation from their families with little hopes of legally prevailing.

When the story first broke it was just a raid of Jared’s home, (O’Mara, 2015) but with the government apparently uncovering more details into Jared’s life it can easily get worse. The more the public learns about Jared during this scandal will keep adding on and damaging Subways image and reputation. (Russell, 2015)

As you have requested, I have carefully reviewed the considered article, Mae M. Ngai’s “Reforming Immigration for Good,” and other sources in order to decide if this article is fit for publication in The Shorthorn or not. Ngai’s article is very informative, but lacks passion and relatability. Thus, the readers of The Shorthorn will feel bombarded with facts without having a strong connection or reason as to why they are reading the article. This leaving me to determine Ngai’s article is not fit for The Shorthorn. When our readers pick up a paper they wish to not only learn something new, but also to become a part of a community able to understand and relate with others. The publication of this article will strip the readers of the opportunity

Today’s political environment, has seen more public dissatisfaction with an incoming president than any other time in recent history. Protests around the country are ongoing as people are voicing their opposition to new immigration policies and presidential actions deemed to be unethical, unconstitutional, and immoral. Although there are those who support President Trump’s view on immigration, there is a large contingent of the population who believe the president’s conduct is morally and ethically wrong. In contrast to what some see as wrong conduct, Geuras and Garofalo (2011) note, “Right conduct refers not only to the honest management of public resources but also to respect for the rights and dignity of persons within and outside of public organizations” (p. 321). Immigration rights groups and activists argue the new rules for deportation violate basic civil rights and harm the dignity of those immigrants

The receiver is the general American public and the particularly readers of the New York Times where the article was published. The author is mostly the community of the Latino immigrants and their children but also directed to the American populating trying to show them the effects of Trump’s campaign against immigrants “But in the end, fear not, niños. Monsters are

For USA Today to make an exception and hold off on the story, they’d have to consider doing so for every story they write after, which can come to interfere with their job’s function. Having a set policy where every story gets published is a rule that the publication can keep consistent. This rule becomes difficult to keep in this case if we decide to choose the alternative and wait before publishing the story. Rules are upheld in every circumstance, thus if we decide to hold off on this story, we must consider holding off on all of the next stories we’d create. This doesn’t suit the function of the publication and interferes with newsgathering in

In his essay, Martinez has three key points throughout the essay. The first is his main point that Hispanic ex-cons should be given a second chance by business owners, mainly Hispanic as well. He supports this claim with his other two main points, but also with other minor points as well. Martinez’s introduction paragraph tries to use the brotherly aspect of Hispanic culture to support his main claim of hiring ex-cons. To intensify this point, he claims that despite how brotherly the culture is supposed to be as Hispanics are highly religious, many of times, “We[Hispanics] ostracize ourselves.” Martinez also tries to use the example from Dr. Peter Drucker in which in short states that the most valuable resource for a business and those that think otherwise we become a failed business for
