In a 3 paragraph write up. (6-7 sentences each) Tell me what you think about this video. How does this video influence your topic. How does Alfonso/ Isaac's story make you feel?
This video presented the truth about what happens to those who attempt to cross the border and the consequences that follow. It showed me that those said undocumented individuals would be willing to do so much to see their family again, such as crossing a very hot desert and trusting criminals who have a high chance of misleading them to their deaths. It also showed the corruption of the U.S. Law Enforcement Agency(s). Lastly, the video showed me the dangers of criminal organizations within Mexico who mislead those who are desperate enough to take certain measures to cross the border to reunite with their families only to backstab them once they reach a certain distance from the border. This is how the video made me feel.
The stories given by the undocumented individuals who were interviewed really touched my heart, that they were willing to go through so much just to see their domestic children and, in general, their family. I also felt largely disappointed in the agencies who administrate border activity and how they handled family members who were worried about their fathers who dared to cross the border. According to the agencies, it is not their responsibility to support the lives of those who dare to cross the border and that the ones who should be blamed are the criminals who encourage them to cross, usually using tactics of misdirection to influence them only to stab them in the back once they reach a certain distance away from the border itself.
In conclusion, I believe that the agencies and criminals should be both blamed for the lives that have been lost in the effort to cross the border to reunite with their families who live legally within the United States. I believe that a lot of undocumented individuals who live in the United States are eligible for citizenship considering the fact that they have been living here for decades and working here for decades. They are not here to take lives or items. They simply want a better life both for them and their future generations. The United States promise jobs, opportunity, and freedom. Is that a lie? Why are these undocumented individuals handled with incompetence?
