Blog #6 Television and Immigrants

Today’s television revolves around different things. Some shows take place in the work place. One example is Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. One the show the officers of the New York Police Department try to solve crimes that happen in the city.  There is no immigrant workers on the squad, but in certain episodes there are immigrants. This is because immigrants cannot be police officers. It is not that the show is prejudice against immigrants, but they are not any of the main characters. In a few episodes the cops help immigrants into getting justice from their attackers and even help them get asylum in the United States; which shows that it tries to depict real scenarios that would happen on the streets of New York City.
