I heard fascinating stories of vans and cars full of Mexicans stopped, taken to the Border Patrol, and deported to their residences as they attempted to cross the border. Some of them are lucky enough to survive their journey while others lose their lives. Every year many people try to enter the United States illegally to succeed in their lives, to get a better job, and sometimes to reunite with their families. There is no doubt that the journey to cross the border is very dangerous and sometimes life-threatening. It is understandable that adults try to risk their lives in search of a better life, but when minors make the same attempt and risk their lives, what should we do as parents or as a family? In the film Which Way Home, director Rebecca Cammisa shows that the journey that many unaccompanied minors attempt with the hope of migrating across the border between Mexico and the United States for a better life is actually a potentially fatal passage. “Each year, the Border Patrol apprehends 100,000 children attempting to enter the United States” (Which Way Home). By showing the different consequences of crossing the border Cammisa tries to create awareness among parents and also in children. Parents should not give permission to their children to cross the border, and children who have no parents should also not attempt to cross. Through his documentary he seeks to educate teenagers and their parents about the risks and dangers of illegal border crossing. In the documentary Cammisa shows that there are people who know the possible consequences, but nevertheless ignore them, and in the end regret having made such an attempt. Through her documentary Cammisa also warns them not to make such decisions because in the end they are not... middle of paper......crossing the border does not bring any happiness in their life, on the contrary it makes their present life worse . Parents lose their children because of the wrong decision to send them to the United States, and then have nothing to do but regret. Even teenagers abandoned by their parents and who make the decision to cross the border realize that the temptation to get a better life actually brings more frustration into their lives because the path is very hard and most of the time impossible. Over the course of the film, logic, evidence, and the reality it represents help her realize the logos, ethos, and pathos that make her argument strong. It is therefore obvious to say that Rebecca Cammisa's thesis that unaccompanied parents should not allow their unaccompanied children to cross the border is effective and convincing..
