In the article "An ally against Mexico's terror", the author's main claim was that Mexico is growing more dangerous each and every day and Mexican journalists are at risk more than ever with all the drug cartel violence. The U.S government is starting to give political asylum, such as the case with Luis Aguirre, who started receiving death threats. His support is that Mexico's free press is now in danger and many have fallen at the hands of these criminals. Mexico is not in the list of countries who's freedom of press is in danger, such as Cuba, and Russia but it sure deserves too. The author also says that this year U.S immigration has recommended twice the amount of applications for political asylum which means they acknowledge that journalists and the like are in danger.
His talk of the U.S acknowledging that Mexico is in grave danger, makes his argument more valid, rather than just saying that he thinks people are in danger and something should be done. This gives him more credibility and adds logic to what he is talking about. I agree with him and think that the general population of Mexico that are in grave danger from these drug cartels should also be helped by the U.S immigration if just until everything returns to normal.The author's overall conclusion on the subject is legitimize because it is a serious situation affecting Mexicans this very day and the Mexican government should also start to do something about it. When you can't even trust your own government you know something has to be done for the better of the people.

In this Blog Joaquin presents to us the recent problem of the Mexican journalists who's life's are at risk. He argues that Mexico's freedom of press is in danger and I without a doubt agree with him. The Drug cartels have took the liberty to take control of what they publish about them by making their own newspapers and magazines and also by killing the journalists who make them look bad or publish something they don't seem very pleasant. This causes a problem when your a journalist because you cannot be free to express your feelings or report something you feel the public needs to know. The U.S. Government should really look into it because it is very well a problem when lives of journalists are at risk.
