Immigration is about us.

The article, "Immigration Is About Us", caught my eye and my thoughts. The rhetorical purpose of the author, Mark H. Willis, is calling for those debating the issue of immigration, to reflect on who we are and what we want for our state and by doing so we all will be better prepared to make the hard decisions that lie ahead of us. I thought the articles arguments were well made. I feel the author was successful in his purpose of making his audience reflect on his or her own views. I like the comparisons made again help his audience reflect and define his or her own views. The author also presents the complexities of the issue very well too, giving the audience a fair and honest look at the complex decisions that will need to be made.
