What's going on there?
Well, I shouldn't say truly, but they could be pretty biased.
When I was in 6th grade, we were working on a project that involved Spanish/Mexican immigrants and whats your point of view on them. So in order to develop an opinion on it, they gave us a book list to read a couple books based on this. When I went over the list, I noticed that every single book was based on an immigrant (whether it was crossing the border illegally and being captured, or just simply having a poor life in America through going there legally) that developed a poor lifestyle due to the hardships America had to offer. This causes the readers (students) to develop a hatred on our system.
Keep in mind, one of these immigrants (one of the books) came to America due to hardships in there homeland. Now, most students at a young age would develop a sympathetic feeling towards these kinds of people. Once the immigrant has had enough in the country, the immigrant crossed the border illegally in hopes of a good life in the United States. Now the students would offer amnesty to this poor individual. Once this immigrant is captured and sent back to its homeland, the students would develop a hatred for the United States or would simply dislike its system of deporting illegal immigrants. All students, assuming they don't have a formal education in this category, will unarguably choose one side, due to its limiting books, therefore manipulating them.
