The subject of Immigration is more often than not a good topic for discussion since it’s a topic with no right or wrong answer. The Alabama Immigration law unconstitutional by Mieroux had a good topic but I saw no critique. It appeared to have more information than opinion, which is the sole purpose of an editorial. The paragraph he wrote would be a good fit for the “breaking news” of a news paper, short and sweet brief glance over the immigration issue in Alabama. The editorial could have elaborated more on how the law has “affected many farmers who have lost many Hispanic workers” and perhaps added in a story of why the Hispanic workers are a “vital part to harvesting crops”, same with the public school issue. this not only would strengthen the editorial, but enlarge it as well since it appeared to be a bit short. Perhaps a way to remember how to write a good editorial is “inform, promote, praise and entertain”. An easy way to websites relating to the article without having to MLA every website would be to “link” the websites, which is an option in the “new post” section. This also serves as a good tool for the reader because they can go back to the websites the article focused on and get a further understanding of the subject at hand.
