This article explains that deportations are reaching historic levels. This also shows how corrupt and damaged this system has become. The author incorporates personal experiences that show that this is becoming a crisis that is turning our society into a divided one.

• Central Argument:

The article revolves around the fact that our immigration system has become more and more corrupt. The author is stating the obvious by saying that our views of immigrants have not really changed from years ago. Although before we would appreciate them coming to this country.

• Assertion:

  “Though it has assured Congress that it concentrates on those who pose a danger to public safety, the agency often deports immigrants guilty only of technical violation of the immigration laws”

• This assertion strengthens the claim made by Morgenthau because it validates his claim that today immigration policies are being administered in the wrong way.

 “Our restrictive immigration laws are bad enough­---separating families, sending refugees like Haitians back to devastated countries, denying jobs to foreign students---but how they are administered is even worse”

• This assertion strengthens the claim made by Morgenthau because it supports his argument that these policies are ludicrous, sometimes even leading to the denying of civil rights to immigrants being imprisoned in detention facilities.
