and M. Sanchez does not include any information about birthright citizenship or anchor babies, it does not even include any counter arguments. Because of the lack of counterarguments within the article, it is difficult to believe whether it makes valid arguments. Unlike H. Sanchez and M. Sanchez, Brown does include a counterargument in her article.

Sadly, none of the people that edited my paper had an opposing view to what I was writing about so I was unable to strengthen my counterarguments with their added opinions.
