    This source shows what immigrant criminals have been convicted of. It is important to see what types of criminal activity is tied to immigration. I found the crimes committed and person committing these crimes to be interesting. The information was good to get a picture of the situation but I felt like the stories were mostly one-sided.

  16. On further thought and research, I've actually decided to change my topic from the relationship between illegal immigration and border violence to the economic impact of illegal immigration. As such, my sources reflect this.

    1. Davidson, Adam. "Q&A: Illegal Immigrants and the U.S. Economy." NPR: National Public Radio. NPR, 6 Mar. 2006. Web. 16 May 2012.

    I used this source because it answers some of the most common questions regarding the economic effects of illegal immigrants.

    2. Hansen, Ronald J. "Report: Illegal Immigrants Cost State $1.4B in Wages." Azcentral.com. Arizona Republic News, 8 Jan. 2008. Web. 16 May 2012.

    I used this source because it presents different findings on the economics of illegal immigration compared to other reports. It was written by a prominent Harvard labor economist and "one of the nation's leading authorities on the effects of illegal immigration on the American economy."
