I decided to do my last article on Central Americans trying to seek asylum. This peer reviewed article talks about people seeking asylum from El Salvador back in the late 1980’s when El Salvador was at war. They talk about the political policies in place that were in place between central american and the United States. Ultimately, 11,050 people were deported from the United States back to El Salvador back in 2006. This was during a time where El Salvador was ridden with gang violence and poverty, after the war. This article seems to be biased against the U.S. and their foreign policies. The article focuses on people that fall outside of the political requirements of being an Asylum seeker. The bias is that the article is made to exploit and criticize the political laws on asylum seeking in the United States. They mention the limitations that is present for people from El Salvador living in the United States.
