I thought the movie shown in class today presented very biased viewpoints. For one, the teacher who claimed ‘they come to our country, they should learn English,’ really didn’t do herself any favors. It’s no surprise that she ended up resigning considering she seemed to have no appreciation for the Latino culture and their motives for coming to America. However, I also thought the narrator presented an extremely biased liberal view. I agree prop 187 went too far, but there is truth in the fact that undocumented citizens essentially funnel tax dollars away from American citizens. Many of the people interviewed tried to make it into a racial issue, when there is more to it. I think a proper solution would be to make it easier for immigrants to become naturalized citizens. Then they could stay in school and receive other social benefits, without anyone feeling as though they are mooching off taxpayers.
