This person is a reliable source because she has been through all of the complicated processes that would allow her to come to the U.S. She is also fighting a battle right now to become a full time citizen of this country, so she knows about all of the laws and loopholes that could be used when talking about illegal immigration. This person wishes to remain an anonymous source because they are currently in this country illegally. She hopes that her dreams will come true and she can become a real American citizen.
We have learned a lot from our research. We have learned that there are many hardships and problems that people must go through in these situations. It is very difficult for them to adapt to a new life in America, because when they get here, it is not as glamorous and easy as it may seem. We have also learned much more about the legal process when it comes to becoming an American citizen. Even though these people go through a great ordeal, we still stand by our original idea that illegal immigration should not be taken lightly and that punishment does need to be harsher than current laws say.
