This website was made by women with the notion of having a supportive and encouraging publishing community for women. This may not mean that you get highly academic articles, but you get the perspectives and the points of views that everyday women have to deal with, this means that you have regular sight of first hand experiences.
There is one section on this website that deals with the issue of Hispanic immigration, in fact it has its own culture site which dedicates itself to providing subjects and features based around Hispanic culture. Although one article or post deals with the issue of immigration specifically, this is 'Understanding Hispanic Immigration' where by the author Rebecca M. Cuevas De Caissie explores and defends the Hispanic immigration into the US. The way Rebecca presents this Hispanic immigration is by showing the immigrants through a successful and angelic description therefore given her pro account on the subject matter. She defends the Hispanics by telling a story of an immigrant ignoring money, from this you begin to believe that not all Hispanic immigrants go to America for a better life financially:
"There once was a man who came across the border of The United States. He was walking, as he was poor and came to the States looking to find his fortune. About a mile or so into the States, he saw on the side of the road a one hundred dollar bill. Now this man had been walking for some time and was very tired. He thought to himself, “I am even too tired to bend over and pick this money up; I’ll just pick up the next one I come across seeing as the streets are truly covered in wealth and gold.” He never saw another dollar bill on the street again."
The main view that this article presents is that: if the world presents a better and more sweeter life full of opportunities (America), would you not take it.
The only issue with this site is that the author is from an Hispanic background, therefore this can be seen as her just defending her own culture, giving a bias account of the immigration her family would have gone through.
The American Immigration Control foundation is an organisation dedicated to stopping illegal 'aliens' from crossing the border of Mexico into America, and also sending back those who have already settled within the USA. This organisation clearly presents an anti Hispanic immigration view, they have many goals which would help America to stop the massive increase in population and prevent crowding in certain areas, these objectives include:
- AIC is about deporting those illegal aliens already in the U.S.
- AIC is about strictly enforcing the current immigration laws and increasing penalties for those who knowingly transport, recruit, solicit, or hire illegal aliens.
- AIC is about reducing annual legal immigration to numbers which can be readily assimilated.
- AIC is about educating motivating and activating citizens with our newsletter Immigration Watch.
- AIC is about encouraging all concerned citizens to join our efforts to secure America's borders.
The website provides many anti Hispanic views, some through the anger towards the growth of immigration therefore the population boom, another subject that is mentioned is the unemployment of WASPS, there are some examples where skilled Americans cannot get jobs because companies would rather pay less for Hispanic Americans.
This website obviously provides a anti Hispanic immigration outlook, they compare the immigrants to aliens and called the immigration the 'destructive flood'. Another way they present this anti opinion is through graphs and comic picture which illustrate the struggles and statistics of Hispanic immigration, one showing that this immigration will Quadruple the USA population growth by 2050.
