Primary Source: Immigration Issue


This was a photograph that I have chosen about the immigrants at the Mexican boarder coming to the US. The sign was for incoming cars at Instate 5 Highway in San Ysidro, CA warning the possible undocumented immigrants that would get killed for crossing. It was reported that before this sign was placed, more than 100 undocumented immigrants died from incoming cars while trying to cross the highway. In addition, it is said that the San Ysidro boarder is the most busiest land boarder with 17 million cars and 50 million walkers legally crossing. I have chosen this because it really shows how much immigrants are coming into the US.They have risked their lives to get to America in hopes of improving their life. Also as you can see on the sign, it the little girl seems like she is at the age where she is just dragged into running showing how she didn't even make the decision to immigrate if it was done illegally. With further analysis, this could also be a sign to beware of the illegal immigrants, not only look out for them but catch them if they are crossing illegally.
