I have included in this blog some links to other sites that will better inform on the topic of illegal immigration.

National Public Radio:This site gives a brief and easy to understand list of the pros and cons of illegal immigration. This website is good if an individual wanted to take an initial stand on the issue.

Washington Post: A discussion on the fact that Americans are very split on the issue of illegal immigration. It explains the idea that no one is actually totally democratic or totally republican on this issue. Gives an interesting account in to personal lives of Americans.

Huffington Post: Written on a liberal website, John Ridley discusses why illegal immigration is no longer an important issue to the candidates. He ponders whether it's because of the current economic situation (but isn't immigration connected with the economy?), or the similar candidate's views on immigration. He discusses these issues and more. Simple and informative.

McCain's Immigration Reform: Article about the immigration reform views of John McCain.

Border Fence: Basic information and pros and cons of the border fence that is currently being constructed. Both candidate's have voted for the border fence, so it's Americans duty to understand what that will mean for the environment, land, and immigration all together.
