I want to make a blog critique a post title is "Kira Davis: Hell Yes, We Need That Border Wall" by Kira Davis from the RedState. I want to talk about this article because I have the agreement and also disagreement with Kira Davis's opinion. I agree about what people in America worried the most now a day is an illegal immigrant, drugs. So I think that he needed to address more about the facts about how illegal immigrants affect us, the U.S citizens.
In his first paragraph, he talks about the massive gunfight happen in the Pacific coastal state of Sinaloa and provided some video footage for the battle. I like that he used some source to support the statement, but I think that the statement is not very accurate and related to the border wall. since the battle happened in Mexico, and it didn't affect any part of the U.S, it also happens to be far from the border, so I think if he wants to be more clear with the statement, he needs to address more about the events happen that affect both America and Mexico, happen right on the border.
In his second paragraph, he starts the paragraph with "Mexicans are not “straight, white males” and for that reason and none other we are having this insane argument about whether or not America has the right to protect her borders. In reality, race/ethnicity is completely irrelevant to this conversation." To me, these two sentences are not very needed in the articles, because they cause be bewilderment. Used the words "straight, and white males" then states that Race is not irrelevant to the conversation, sound very weird, so I hope he put this sentence out of the paragraph so it does not lead to the misunderstanding. 
Back to the border wall topic, I agree with him about the border wall can be a good solution for America to feel safe from immigrants, and the bad thing comes from the South, but the wall to didn't finish Trump promised since 2016 and we have spent a large amount of money in it. The total amount has been estimated by the official and unofficial bodies ranging from $12bn to $70bn, and all that money will come from us.

On September 5, 2019, ThinkProgress published an article titled "To build Trump's Border Wall, Pentagon will divert funds from military school and daycares" by Alan Pyke.
In this article, Alan Pyke talks about how Trump claims that he "a most pro-military president ever" but he drains funds out of school and daycares that serves military families. Trump uses the fund for military families to build the border wall between Mexico and the U.S, , that he promised. the author also uses a lot of information about how drains funds from schools and daycares have effected a lot of projects to delayed, and how much Pentagon's have spent on the border wall.  The author also mentions how not only projects related to military schools and daycares but also a lot of other projects for road, new versions of pedestrian and vehicle barriers also been delayed. He also provides facts that some few of the borders have been build between the U.S and Mexico have let some scar on the border communities, so what if we finish the border what will happen, what problems will we have if we complete the border. The author is included other people, who are effects by the border wall, opinion about the issues have both positive about how the border may help to crake down drug traffickers, to negative like how it affects people's life. I agree with the author of how we need some attention to there issues and Trump have done are wrong not only how Trump uses the funds, also the ideas of the border wall, it is worthy for us to put three billion dollars into this project or not? The author also provides a lot of information to prove his argument, use facts, information, and the response of the people to make a stronger statement.

On September 19, 2019, BBC News published an article titled Los Angeles: Why tens of thousands of people sleep rough. By Daniel Flaming and Gary Blasi.
Los Angeles always know as one of the famous cities of the United States, but the city also has nearly 60,000 homeless people, President Trump also mentioned, that the growth of homeless people will destroy the glamorous of the city. So what was the reason that causes these issues? Because of jobs that pay little with a high-cost house, Los Angeles population has grown a lot since the past 30 years but then are too little number of new houses has been built, therefore, people can not afford for the rental fees. Voters in Los Angeles have approved to build 10,000 housing units for homeless, but until now there only enough for 7,000. Not only Los Angeles, but also New York City and other cities also increasing the population of homeless people. the percent of homeless have been a big issue but there are not many solutions that can help solve the problem, so I hope that people can view the problem more serious and take more actions about it.
