Ch.7 The Third Boarder

I decided to choose this audio clip because in the chapter, Davis disscussed how there are many innocent civilized, hardworking hispanics and Latinos who are being racialy profiled against. They are also being searched and property being seized without the correct or even legall permission. I think this is wrong because you can not just look at someone and assume they are evil. This is a big problem which happens often and needs to have somthing done about it.

Ch.4 "Cuantos Mas" Bush Speaks on boarder crossing

I chose this clip because i thought that president Bush could have came up with a more effective way to figure out theh problem of illegal immigration. Many think he is no type of man for the job but while other Americans disagreed with him, he still went through with his plans that in the book seemed to make things even worse. This chapter discussed much about the money,drug, and illegal alien flow which passes the boarder mostly among tijuana so i thought picking a clip on Bush would best relate to that.

Ch. 6 Tropicalizing cold urban space

I choose this picture to show how it is common for the Mexican culture to have homes that are full of color. In chapter 6 it mentions how many of the Latinos who lived in America (downtown LA ) painted their homes in very bright colors and many Americans "Gringos" were much opposed to the idea and made it difficult for latinos to express their culture.

Chapter 14 Disabling Spanish

The Project Dropout blog relates to the struggle of immigrant children punished for speaking Spanish in school and forced to speak English and take all English classes when they are learning the new language. Chapter 14 talks about making English being the only language in the US. Knowing more than two languages is a great skill to have but how is it easier for this children if they are not being help. Spanish is part of any latinos culture and way of expression and depriving our language is taking a part of us away.

Chapt. 8 The Devil's Rancho

A blog titled Immigrant bashing isn't just rhetoric, it's real talks about the bashing that goes on with Hispanic immigrants. Most people bash Hispanic immigrants because they are timid and are very sure they will not contact the authorities reporting the bashing. And because the bashing is done by rich, Caucasian people, they get let off the hook. However if Hispanic people were bashing a Caucasian person, they'd be taken to court immediately. It's a double standard.

Chapt. 14 Disabling Spanish

This video titled "Barack Obama: Your Children Should Learn To Speak Spanish" is a video that was taped during our current President, Barack Obama's, campaign trail. In the video, Obama talks about how important it is for not only our immigrants to learn English, but for our citizens to learn Spanish and other languages. Yes we are in America however there are people with different cultures here.

Chapter 8: The Devil's Rancho

I find this video related to the chapter 8 which Davis provided some examples of how white people discriminate Mexicans. Mexicans were gaining less or even no respect if they were illegal immigrates. They did not have any protections from government. It is a shame on Americans to discriminate minority groups. I think all humans are born with equally and should be treated same way.
