Vice Reporter Visits "Crisis Over the U.S. Border"
By Anna Loy
I am writing about a Vice video where a reporter, Alzo Slade, decided to go to the southern border in New Mexico to see if Trump’s claims of violence at the border were true. He drove to the boot heel of New Mexico, which is considered particularly dangerous. While there, he talked to multiple people. He asked people questions about illegal immigrant activity around the border, getting different opinions on whether or not the border needs more protection. Slade then camps out next to the border and spends the night, uninterrupted by any immigrants, refuting President Trump's claim that immigrant harass people near our border.
I really liked this video because it was so obvious and upfront. Trump often talks about the dangerous border, and I never believe his claims, but I never thought about what it is actually like at our border. I enjoyed the videos shots of the border and the landscape around it. Those shots changed how I picture the U.S southern borders. The reporter’s approach to the whole story and video was raw and literal, which made it very interesting.
Videos like this are very interesting because they challenge our government. Slade left his opinion out of it, and just showed facts. Also, for a video on a serious topic, the landscape shots were amazing. This video is a great combination of humor and information.
