Blog Stage Three: Substantial Critical An Editorial Or Commentary From A National Newspaper

   On Thursday, January 11, 2018, CNN published an article about “The answer toborder security is technology, not wall”. Henry Cuellar, the author insisted that building a physical wall would be ineffective to reduce the population of the people who are undocumented, because they will continue to bring illegal drugs to cross the border into the United States. Therefore, to solve this problem, instead of setting a wall, the government should increase the use of the modern technology to secure it such as cameras, fixed towers and aerial and underground sensors. Along with Henry Cuellar, I totally agree with him because of the two reasons. First of all, it is impossible to stop all the undocumented people from the Mexico by building a wall. Even though the United States set up the wall between the Mexico and the United states, the people will still come to the United States to find another way. Therefore, using the modern technology will be more effective to the United States to be secure. Second of all, building a wall is not a simple solution that the United States government can decide. It contains the relationship between America and Mexico. Thus, if United States decide to make a wall between the Mexico, it is possible to negatively affect the relationship as a trade partner. To solve this problem with respect to Mexico, the government should remedy with Mexico government: strengthen the Mexican law enforcement and US Border Patrol coordinate interdiction efforts, perform joint patrols, respond to border violence and pursue prosecution of criminals of transnational criminal organizations. All things considered, I believe that the United States should use the modern technology to certainly reduce the number of undocumented people more but maintain the good relationship with Mexico.

 In 1619, the United States started the slave trade. At that time, Europeans brought most of the slaves from Africa. Moreover, they discriminated against them since they have darker skin color. Therefore, a lot of black people were physically and mentally suffered while on slaved. Furthermore, today, black people are still fighting for their racial equality.
 On Wednesday, February 7, 2018, New York times published an article titled "Muhiyidin Moye, Black Lives Matter Activist, Is Shot and killed in New Orleans". Muhiyidin Moye was a prominent Black Lives Matter activist. He raised his voice about the black man who was shot by the police officer in April 2015. At the age of 32, he was killed by shot in a leg on a Tuesday in New Orleans, while he was riding a bike. According to the police officer, there is not specific evidence id someone intentionally killed him or not because New Orleans has one of the highest murder rates in the United States.
 I choose this article because even these days, there are a lot of inequalities between black and white. Black people are judged by the color of their skin when applying for a job, earning household income, and getting into the education system. Thus, it is important to clarify that all people have a equal rights despite the color of their skin.
