On Saturday, August 26, 2017, an opinion poll was posted onto the New York Times, titled Castillo: A border wall by any means remains Trump's obsession.
Juan Castillo seems to be an intelligent man who continuously keeps up with politics, especially Trump. He has multiple article's that he has wrote before as well as after the one I chose that was created in August of 2017. Sadly, this article is still very much relevant in our news in October...Trump is still advocating to build a wall on the U.S.- Mexico border. I believe that his intended audience is for the whole public (who wishes to stay informed on current news/politics), but especially the population of Texas and people coming to and from Mexico. I say this, because he mentions Texans pushing back on this idea and uses a quote from a Republican, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn of Texas who "seemed to give Trump the benefit of the doubt". I believe that this author is credible, because I have heard/read other non-opinion sources voice the same facts that were relayed in this article. I do have to add that I would have liked to see this author include different sources embedded in his article from other author's other than himself, to back up his evidence even more. He uses percentages, specific amounts of money and large numbers regarding immigrant population from Mexico that I or someone else might not know to be factual unless I had another credible source claiming the same to be true. I agree with the author in saying that Trump's persistence on building this wall and threatening to shut down the government if he doesn't get it- is insane.
