__**Part One: The Case Study**__ Our Topic: Illegal Immigration from Mexico to America

The United States of America is going through an immigration crisis and it's affecting the quality of life and freedom in the US. A lot of people think it’s no big deal because the immigrants are just "passing through" but there's more to it than just that. Throughout the history, America has received a lot more immigrants from different countries than any other states and a lot of them are illegal. The illegal immigration is harming the United States while having special treatment that the US citizens don't receive. These treatments include tax free incomes, free social services, public school enrollments, and free emergency room care. In fact, the illegal immigrants have been seen on the streets waving their own country flags while demanding their rights but they don’t have the courage to do it in their own country. These immigrants are not bad people though and a lot of them try their best to support themselves and their family. However, the illegal immigrants have affected the society in America, as well as other countries in the world, and breaking the law and sometimes giving attitudes and negativity to the communities. This is not just about rebuilding the borders though; it's about national security, jobs for citizens and legal immigrants and doing what is best for America and all the other countries with illegal immigrants. We want to help educate people about the effects of illegal immigrations it's causing in America. We want to bring public awareness on this issue both in the school and the community. We can participate and cooperate with other organizations that are also involved in this issue. We want people to know about this issue and the truth behind it because that way we have more voices and opinions on what is right and what is the best for countries with immigrants coming illegally. Most importantly, we have more chances of getting people to support and donate to big organizations or projects in order to help them. We can’t just tell the immigrants to stop crossing the border illegally because they think about themselves first. Because of that, we want people to know the real truth about this issue while encouraging them to support us and other organizations or groups to speak up about what they think. We want people stand up and say their opinions in this issue and what they think is right for the countries with illegal immigrants.

-Name: Sally Park 1. What is the organization? The organization is called [|National Illegal Immigration Boycott Coalition (NIIBC)] 2. What exactly are they doing to try and combat or change your issue? What they want to do is to stop the illegal immigrants. The organization ALIPAC is trying to increase public awareness to public of illegal immigration, the immigrants and the affects when they come to the USA. They are also trying to raise awareness of companies that are trying to let in the illegal immigrants in to USA to get money. 3. What are some of the things you like about their program? Well, there is not much information in the site but even though they have less information they are quite detailed and it is clear for the audience. I like how they are trying to raise awareness to the public and making them think about illegal immigration deeply from this website. Lots people don’t know much about illegal immigration and only know that they are illegal so this site might make think more about this topic. What are some questions you have about it? Which country in particular do they want to stop illegally migrating? Why would you want to raise awareness of companies? Do you think raising awareness will actually help people understand more about illegal immigrants? 5. How could you become involved with this organization or model your action plan after it? We could sign in the organization ALIPAC and try to contribute the activities going on in ALIPAC. We could help spread what they are doing by raising awareness of illegal immigration to people around us.

-Name: Sally Jo 1. What is the organization? The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (www.minutemanhq.com/hq/) 2. What exactly are they doing to try and combat or change your issue? Their main mission is to secure the US borders and coastal boundaries against the unlawful and unauthorized entry of individuals (illegal immigrants) and foreign military. What they’ve done before was that they actually tried building fences around the border to help motivate the government to actually ‘build them’. Also they are going out to do their ‘border watch operation’. 3. What are some of the things you like about their program? I like how they say ‘talk is cheap, and virtual is not actual.’ And actually went to build the fences. I’ve always thought about building fences around the border as a resolution to our topic but thought that no one actually do it but here, they were brave enough to do it. They want to continue with building them. 4. What are some questions you have about it? How do they use all the money donated from the individuals? How, exactly does the process of ‘fence building’ go? Do you think the government is doing a good job about this issue? What are some reasons that they’re so passionate about this issue? 5. How could you become involved with this organization or model your action plan after it? We can contribute to the online donation system of the MCDC and help the project of the Declaration Alliance. Also we can become part of their member through a registration as a volunteer to participate in border watch operation.
