Response to Allie's Blog

I chose to look at Allie’s blog first because she also researched immigration. I was surprised to see that she looked at a similar aspect of the topic as I did. We both focused on how immigrants were treated in America. In Allie’s final presentation, she showed how the government influenced how Americans thought of immigrants and how immigrants were treated here. She wrote how they influenced the citizens of the United States to want immigrants to be like them. I didn’t really think about or look closer into how the government influenced the people and how they viewed the immigrants coming into their country. She also wrote about how it is determined who is qualified to immigrate here and how this has changed over the years. This information showed me more depth to our topic that I didn’t choose to focus on before. It is interesting to see how many different interpretations of the same topic there are and even different interpetations of subtopics. Allie and I also read many of the same articles and I liked seeing how we used the same information in different ways. Allie did a good job of presenting the information in the way she wanted people to perceive it. It was organized and had good graphics.
