Response to my classmate's blog

       As I was reading my classmate’s blog, it grabbed my attention. The issue was about the effect of drug policy on Texas-Mexico Border Violence. The author has said that the recent killing of three US Consulate members in Juarez has increased the violent behaviour in Texas-Mexico Border. In addition to that, he says that this is one of the serious issues of the Mexicans and Americans. US State Department has included Mexico in the list of Travel Warning because of long-term, protracted conditions. The crime has increased in Mexico and Texas because of the massive drug cartel. According to the Harvard economics professor, Jeffery Miron, the prohibition system has increased the illegal markets because the buyers and sellers cannot settle their disputes in the lawsuits.He has suggested for the legalizations of drugs despites of it's disadvantages.

      The author’s intended audience is entire American and Mexican People. He has stated his perfect view of the issue he has been arguing for. He has enough logics and evidences to support his belief. In addition to that, he has taken advantage of the quote stated by different people in the related issue. I that the quote and the statistic had added more power in his argument. He has used enough facts and information to make his argument persuasive and relevant.He has not simply presented his opinion instead,he has strong argument with enough information.

His editorial has lots of creditability. In conclusion, the author has done an fantastic job. He is successful in his argument.
