As the story comes to a close i can see how this will continue to happen in future events. Enrique wants to believe that his family won’t be too hurt by his decision but he cycle of disappoint will most likely continue in my opinion. He tells mayor Carrasco that he does not think it is worth the time and money for doctors to save travelers like Enrique “This is what they get for doing this journey,” He says of migrants. Yor carrasco disagrees. It is worth the effort and money.” -47 Context sentence: This quote is spoken from adrian to carlos around the time when enrique was having trouble getting to the united states. Appeal to Diction: This quote has such a powerful word choice in my opinion. saying “This is what they get…” Is really wrong to say but that's how a lot of people that don't have to deal with that feel. What makes these words even more stronger is that enrique was just jumped by 6 guys by this time and they told him that he had no business there. I feel that as very messed up. “The single mothers who are coming to this country, and the children who follow them, are changing the face of immigration to the United States." -Author notes context sentence: In this Quote the author explains how she feels about the story she

    The record states that DR residents in U.S have a lower median income than the overall foreign-born population, and the poverty rate of DR immigrants was also higher than the overall population.

Fact is, a lot of immigrants out there still can not speak English, still don’t have a college degree, and still can not leave the bottom class of the society. Our protagonist Oscar did not get a decent job, although he finished college and wen to the other 14 percent(the rest DR immigrants don’t even have one ), everyone still hates him.

    “It [immigration policy] is inconsistent, ineffective, and does not promote the common good… We recognize that finding solutions to the plight of immigrants today will sometimes necessitate the overcoming of boundaries in the heart, not just on the land.” The reason why I choose this quote is it directly point out how useless immigration policy is.
