The main purpose for including the boldfaced phrase is to foster sympathy. The description highlights the challenges faced by undocumented immigrants and the context of their situation, which can evoke empathy from the reader.
"Formerly
Undocumented
Woman Teaching
Immigrants"
by Samuel Gilbert
On a Wednesday morning in February, 25
undocumented immigrants sat in a crowded
Sunday school classroom at the Holy Spirit
Catholic church in Horizon City, a neighborhood on
the outskirts of El Paso, Texas. At the front of the
class, Gabriela Castañeda, a human rights
promoter and communications director from
the Border Network for Human Rights (BNHR),
pointed to a chalkboard, where the words . . .
“Round up Illegals,” and “usted tiene derecho a
permanecer en silencio” were written on the
blackboard.
