Audience and Agenda:
The New York Times is the largest metropolitan newspaper in the U.S. It was founded in 1861, and it has won more Pulitzer Prizes than any other newspaper according to Wikipedia. According to Quantcast.com, the New York Times websites receives 13.3 million visits a month.
Usefulness: These images are useful to my research because they show the states who have imposed tough employer laws. It also lists the states who enforce the use of E-Verify. The Department of Homeland Security should monitor these states to see the effects of the laws and how well they are working. If the results are promising, then Congress should push for further implementation of the laws in other states.
