I was really intrigued by the topic of illegal immigration that was presented in the novel. Because of this, I began to research articles. Many of the articles are from the governments' point of view and therefore do not allow any insight into the thought process of the illegal immigrants. Due to the focus on the struggles of illegal immigrants I really liked this article because it was a personal story from an illegal immigrant. Also, it talks about the current struggles that the immigrants face also because of the recession, which was extremely interesting and unique.
