Pinata Politics

       On KXAN news website, there was an article with a video attached called "Pinata Politics:" Cruz & Castro debate that basically talked about illegal immigration. Two budding Texas politicians debated about illegal immigration on Sunday, September 22nd and each had different perspectives on illegal immigration. One thinks that we should accept the immigrates because the very people that founded this country were after all immigrants. He also stated that America is content on the individuals that we have here and do not wish to allow any others in. The other does not completely disagree. He thinks that the illegals should be welcomed but go through the proper channels to becoming a citizen. I think this article is important for our class because illegal immigration is not only a big issue for the country, but a huge issue for Texas because we are a border state and see a lot of the illegal immigration traffic. If you click on the link for the article there is a video clip of the debate if you wish to check it out.
