Article: Mexican Bride Marries American Groom During Rare Opening Of Boarder Wall- David Moye
Journalist David Moye reports on a wedding that took place under rather unusual circumstances. In the wake of recent controversy over the security of the Mexico-United States boarder and divided support on decisions made regarding immigration to and from Mexico, a wedding took place. This wedding allowed one American man, and one Mexican woman to become husband and wife. Something that will make that day even more memorable for the newlyweds and something that they will always look back on, is the fact that they were married at an opening of an iron wall meant to separate them and the countries they are citizens of. Though immigration is a prevalent topic for short periods of time, they are often forgotten and it takes events like this to remind those that aren't directly affected by issues regarding their immigration status or that of loved ones. This article and others like is serve as a reminder to the ongoing hardships of so many people living in the United States and neighboring countries. David Moye's matter-of-fact tone is helpful to reaching the biggest audience possible and avoiding a strong bias. the author's inclusion of testimony and reactions of those involved in the ceremony also adds a realness that is missing from a lot of discussions today.
