Introduction
Caribbean Bauxite
Caribbean Bauxite Company Limited of Barracania, subsidiary of Continental Ore, is one of the leading bauxite exporters in the West Indies. The company is vastly diverse and has the most Barracanian middle managers of all foreign companies operating in Barracania. However, Europeans still occupy the top managerial positions in the company. Due to various cultural differences between the Barracanian and the Europeans employees racial tension is always present in the working environment. Despite the fact that the company has more Barracanian managers than Europeans, some Barracaians feel that the company has unjust partiality towards the Europeans.

Baker believes he has a knack of dealing with people of color, which can be attributed to his 23 years of work experience of working in 2nd and 3rd world countries. His work ethic and knowledge have earned him a promotion to the position of Production Manager of Keso Mining Corporation in Canada. He is articulate and cautious in his approach when engaging in dialogue with the people around him.

    There are numerous stories all over the media about “illegal aliens” crossing the border and stealing jobs that belong to American citizens. Stories that make undocumented people seem like completely uncivilized criminals. However, The Devils Highway by Luis Alberto Urrea, offers a different approach. He writes a story of 26 men who leave their homes in search of a new beginning; hope for a better future. These men face some of the most dangerous of enemies including "La Migra" (the U.S. Border Patrol), "Cayotes", brutal vigilantes, Mexican Federales, rattlesnakes, extreme cases of hypothermia, and worst of all, the boiling hot sun (110 degree nightmare) that fried their brains and made their skin boil. Unfortunately, out of those 26 men, only 12 found the light at the end of the tunnel. The remaining 14 (the Yuma 14) died an unfortunate, devastating death. While it may be a terrible reminder of some people's horrible pasts, it is a definite eye opener for readers who do not know these struggles, or who only see the other side of things. As if that isn't intriguing enough to read on its own, Urrea also shines a light on some members of the border patrol. We see them as heartless monsters, and Urrea attempts to show us otherwise. Lastly, Urrea proposes the idea that the U.S Border security may be a bit too exaggerated. There isn't a single thing that can make this book any better. With that being said, The Devil’s Highway, by Luis Alberto Urrea is definitely a book worth reading because it is the brutal truth of the hard journey across the many walls that separate the U.S and Mexico.…

    After reading, Governing Immigration Through Crime and The Devil’s Highway: A True Story, I have developed a better understanding of the relationship between immigration and crime. Personally, many of my sentiments towards immigration has been quite underdeveloped and lacking sustenance to support my claims. In regards, to the criminal aspect connected to immigration, my opinion was more based on feelings alone and not facts. However, I still stand by some of my views and beliefs even after reading both texts about immigration and crime. I gained new information on this topic based on the fundamental concepts and theories that were presented to me in Governing Immigration Through Crime. Moreover, this paper will analyze three concepts discussed Governing Immigration Through Crime while using material from The Devil’s Highway: A True Story to support the perspectives presented by each theme. Lastly, I will conclude this paper with how Urrea writing was able to contribute to the debate on immigration and crime within the public.…

    Immigration in America has been a topic of intense debate through American history. Americans seem to always want to single “immigrants” out as being a bad guy per say, and the border patrol as good guys. Is it really fair to make that judgment based just on history? I sure do not think so. There’s more to immigrants then there history, there’s a reason why they come to America and it is not always intended for evil. Believe it or not, after reading The Devils Highway by Luis Alberto Urrea, immigrants are the good guys just asking for another chance at life. While the Border Patrol Officers are just wearing that uniform and taking advantage of it. Not coming to an agreement, Luis Alberto Urrea’s nonfiction novel would actually enrich the debate on illegal immigration due to the reasoning’s Urrea gives us on these walkers wanting to come to America.…
