This website portrays immigration as economically and
culturally beneficial for the nation of America. One of the goals of this
website is to educate American citizens about the benefits of immigration. The website
does this by providing information on immigration and how a supply of
immigrants can help solve work shortages in certain regions and industries of
America, therefore improving the economy all together. It shows a variety of
worker shortages ranging from agricultural and labour intensive work to white
collar shortages. The website also has a section where the latest immigration
news is available. It is objective as there are negative stories surrounding
immigration such as the amount of illegal immigrants there could potentially be
and there are also positives of immigration which are mainly economic. Another aim
of this website is to encourage individuals to explain the websites views to
people they know in order to gain support from a number of communities.
When you visit this website one of the first things you notice
is a banner that highlights the main aim and attitude of the site. It says ‘We
hope you will join our fight AGAINST the costly and deadly illegal immigration
& illegal immigrant invasion of America’. It seems that this is trying to
create some sort of panic as it suggests that immigrants are ‘invading’
America. This website offers the public to have their say on a number of issues
on an online forum, it allows for debates even though the website leans towards
anti-immigration. There is a four point platform which shows the steps that
this website feels is needed to help create a more secure America. ‘1. Secure
Our Borders. 2. Crack down on employers that intentionally hire illegals. 3.
Remove incentives and rewards to illegals such as licenses, welfare, and other
taxpayer benefits. 4. Enforce our existing laws and deport illegal aliens when
convicted of crimes or detected during routine law enforcement activities.'
