It’s a complicated situation on the Texas border

"It's a complicated situation on the Texas border" by Cynthia M. Allen, provides another insight look on today's current situation with the Texas border.  The author's main audience is the citizens of the US, not so much generally for the citizens under Texas, because immigration extends everywhere in the nation.  The author provides an abundance of sources and citations throughout her article and the author provides research.  The author's main argument in this article is to reach out to those who are in favor of being charitable to immigrants coming in from the border.  She starts by claiming that immigrants have difficult times trying to succeed because many of them come to this country with little education, a huge language barrier, poverty background, and not much contact with friends or family.  She also continues to claim that many of the immigrants become future gang members. The author goes on and explains why being compassionate to immigrants is only helpful for only a short amount of time. The author makes a great point when she explains that allowing immigrants coming in from the border can only bring more problems to the current situations of sex trafficking and drug cartels.  She makes another great point by pointing out that it shouldn't be necessarily the protester's job but it needs to be our elected leaders enforcing the law.  I agree and disagree with the author's claims.  I agree that our elected leaders should be the ones enforcing the law and I agree that we are putting ourselves at risk of further complicating our situations with sex and drug trafficking. However, I disagree with her claims that many immigrants turn to gang violence and that charity only benefits immigrants for a short amount of time.  I believe that everyone has the opportunity to succeed with or without the proper education or through a language barrier.  I believe it's through the determination of whether you want to succeed or not. I believe everyone has the equal opportunity to become successful in their lives as long as they put in the hard work.
