Scratch my previous idea, I think I’ve come up with something better. For this final, I’d like to do a feature on illegal immigrants. Being an illegal immigrant in America is obviously challenging. These individuals live their day to day lives in fear, knowing that at any moment they can be sent back to their home countries. In essence, they live life “on the edge.”
Furthermore, I would like to target a specific community in Park Slope, Brooklyn(Sunset Park to be exact). I would like to focus on individuals as well as the small businesses that are owned and run by many of these individuals. I would also like to focus on the demographics of this particular neighborhood. As well as how the many different cultures mesh in a community such as this one.
If certain individuals are interesting than others, I may just focus on just those individuals.
Point to prove: With all this chatter going on about illegal immigrants taking “our” jobs and many other proclamations, my main focus is to prove that these individuals have a home in America. I will be looking to prove that with so many hardships like language barriers, money and racial issues, that these individuals belong in a place like America
