Our reading this week on chapter 9 was very interesting on how visual arguments work. Most arguments come from an image and then the words are formed to tell that argument. As mentioned in Perspective on Argument, it says that to discover an issue you must ask if this issue has been solved. After asking yourself that, if the answer is no than you have an argument. Every issue has two sides to chose, both of them might be ride and a compromise may be needed.

In the picture to the right, its says "No illegals, No Burritos (You better think twice America)." When seeing this poster I had to think to myself and research if this issue has been solved, turns out it has not. This brings up the argument of keeping illegal immigrants or not allowing them in the country. When we think of both sides, they have their negatives and positives as follows:

If we keep the illegal immigrants then we can also get the culture that comes with them. It is amazing how much illegal immigrant bring to this country even though they are not welcomed. Most of our food is not even ours. America is like one big happy family in a sense of all the different cultures. I feel that if we got rid of them then they will be hostile and even start some sort of battle.

If we get rid of all the illegal immigrants then many jobs will be without workers and the culture will be gone. The workers will not be able to support their family back in Mexico where the work does not pay. This will make that one big happy family go away and that other culture is not present.

Mentioned in US IMMIGRATION SUPPORT, they talk about the main reasons are for mexican illegal immigrants coming to America. The people in Mexico notice how nice America is and how easy it is to get in. Many of them just come to America to get a job because it is better pay than in Mexico.
