Perry expected to call up National Guard to Rio Grande Valley

In the article, "Perryexpected to call up National Guard to Rio Grande Valley," the author makes an argument that Texas needs to improve their border patrol. The current security of the border is pointless because once the illegal get deported back to Mexico, the same illegal crosses the border again. The security is poor so Perry needs to tighten security significantly!

The author's intended audience is the Federal government of USA. Although he speaks to all citizens of the country, he targets the government of the country for not doing enough efforts to protect the borders of the country. As for the author's credibility, he makes good points and solid arguments, but he goes off with anecdotes such as "I personally know..." which doesn't make it credible unless proof is provided. He also exaggerates the situation by claiming that the "nation is being invaded by illegal". However, the main argument of the author is that the Federal government should be involved in the increase of border patrols in the country, and not a responsibility for a single state, Texas in this case. He goes on to expose the government that reduced the funds of the Border Patrols troops, in which resulted less productivity from those troops. He makes a bold statement by saying that it's not just the current U.S. president that has not helped the situation, but also past presidents and governments. He goes on to attack democrats by describing their philosophy sarcastically. He finishes his argument by claiming that the country is heading to a "Third World Dump", meaning that the "invasion" of illegal immigrants will turn this country upside down. I personally disagree with this author, because even illegal immigrants work hard in our own country. Despite their lack of social services and support from the population, they ought to work hard and do the jobs that no typical middle-class American wants to do. Also, the government is doing their best to work with illegal immigrants and providing them the needs of  becoming a legal immigrant, and that does cost a lot to do. Although I agree that Texas shouldn't hold the burden of the costs of the increase of guards for their Border Patrol, to say that the country is heading to a "Third World Dump" because of these decisions is quite an exaggeration I disagree with.
