Book Report #4
This is my last book report.And I didn't like the part where his dad hit him in the face. And dididn't like the part where Panchito had to give a little speach about his school, because he didn't know he had to give a speach. But I did like it when he got all of those scholarships for college. And I liked it when his dad aproved of him going to college.

Interviewed Judy by Nathaniel Jerrell
What personal experiences have helped you develop your perspective on immigration?
I have friends that have immigrated from Mexico and also some friends that their parents and grandparents have immigrated from Mexico. I understand that they have come here for a better opportunity at life.
Do you know anybody that immigrated?
I know a family that immigrated. They immigrated to North Carolina from Mexico. I am good friends with the family.
If you could immigrate anywhere in the world, where would you immigrate and why?
I wouldn't immigrate anywhere. I think this is a wonderful nation. We have all the tools we need here to accomplish our dreams if we will reach after them.
What would you do if you could help and or change immigration in America?
I would secure the borders. I would give only temporary citizenship at first and then if during that period the person committs any felony activity, their permanent citizenship will be denied if they are convicted of the charges.
How do you feel illegal immigrants are impacting or not impacting your community and or the US?
I feel that the illegal immigrants are working trying to better their family, but there are also some there are like sponges.
Have you immigrated from somewhere?
No.
Are you related to any immigrants?
Yes, from lots and lots of years ago. Who knows how long ago!
How do you feel about immigration?
I feel its a good thing if it is done legally.
Do you like immigrants who come to our country?
Sure. I like a person by their character and not by where they came from.
Do you think immigrants should have any rights?
I think legal immigrants should have all rights. Illegal immigrants shouldn't have any rights.
Why do you think illegal immigrants come here?
They come here for a better life.
How would you feel if there was no border?
What border? It feels like it doesn't exist.
Are you directly impacted by observation?
No
How do you feel about illegal immigrants being deported?
I think it is sad but I think they will need to follow through and fill out the paperwork to become a legal citizen.
How would you feel if you were the illegal citizen?
I would be on eggshells everyday. I would not like that feeling.
Do you feel that everybody is an immigrant?
I do not feel that everybody is an immigrant but I believe that everybody has a family member that once was an immigrant.
Do you think the government should take more action on illegal immigration or less action?
For the most part I think the government needs to deport the criminals that are illigal back to the country they are from.
If you were an immigrant, how would your life be different?
I think it would be the same because I would go about it legally.
How do you feel about the minutemen?
I don't know much about them.
Would you have the guts to immigrate legally?
I would immigrate legally. Legal is the key!
What do you think about the border patrol?
I think they are doing their job. We need more of them.

Im from red velvet cake and chicken alfredo
From the time I was born I have lived in 4 states
I have lots of pictures from the time I was born

Book Report #1
The best part of the book is when Francisco gets to come back to America.
And the saddest part of the book is when Francisco has to go back to Mexico.
And I can relate to Francisco because I have moved to different states, and I would have to move away from all of my friends
