For this weeks blog, I found a video on the YouTube website that I thought was particularly interesting regarding immigration issues in the US. This video is a promo for a radio talk show, but I found the imagery and words used in the video particularly interesting. The messages sent across by the video take a very political stance, and depict images of violence and aggression towards the United States. I found this relevant as we were talking about the wall being placed up on the Texas border to stop the influx of Mexicans and Hispanics into the southern states. This video shows that the Hispanics want to voice their opinion, and don't seem to be concerned with the backlash that could result from this. The video also shows the unrest felt by Hispanics towards language barriers, given in the title "Welcome to America -- Now Speak English!". I felt this was a great example of the racial and political divide separating America at this present moment.
