SantaCruz writes to
her fellow Texans in her article SantaCruz:
Texas’ unjust policy hurts American-born children about the injustice
of denying children of immigrant parents their right to acquire their birth
certificates. She immediately quotes the pope “We need to
avoid a common temptation nowadays to discard whatever proves troublesome. Let
us remember the Golden Rule: ‘Do unto others as you would have them unto you,’” she
uses this quote to propose that the pope wished for Americans to embrace
immigrants. She then states that his message could have been elaborated to
defend the rights of American born children with immigrant parents.
She informs her audience that Texas enforces state policy
that calls on state registrars to reject matriculas which are a form of
identification that is issued in mexico. Gissela argues that the
matriculas are acceptable forms of identification. She states that according to Salvador
Ayala Velázquez, spokesperson for the Consulate General of Mexico in Austin, that
the matricula has safety features such as being made out of a more
durable material (than the Texas drivers licence) and has chips that verify a
person’s identity.
This article seems to appeal
to a Hispanic and or Liberal American audience but its argument doesn’t
necessarily condemn any conservative principles, in fact, it reinforces them.
Her final statement is that people born here in the U.S. should be treated as
American citizens; which is a straight forward concept that even conservative
or non-Hispanic (most likely of European immigrant heritage) Americans
cannot disagree with.
Overall I think her article was well written and provided
readers with valid information concerning her argument; however, I think
her article failed to mention the motives of parents. In my opinion, I think
it's a good idea to discourage immigrants (including Europeans) from illegally
entering the country and having children as a way to bully their way into
buying themselves more time to remain in a country that didn’t approve of their
entry.
