Hide Assignment Information
Instructions
You will prepare and submit an annotated Webography outlining seven (7) Homeland Security/Defense websites. Attached are the following documents to assist you in being set up for success for this assignment:
1. Document titled “What is a Webography?”
2. A generic Webography example titled "Webography Example" that will give you a good overview of what a complete Webography looks like.
3. A template example titled "Webography WMD Example" that will give you a glimpse to the start of what yours should look like. Note: these sites are not relevant to the web sites you will choose.
Additional Guidance/Tips:
The websites may be federal, state, local, commercial, or private
Do not pick all federal government cites. Change it up providing various perspectives of the issues.
Don't forget that you are reviewing website – do not pick documents on a website, that will not meet the intent of the assignment
Catch the reader's attention with dynamic photos (don't forget to cite under them to give credit if they are not from the specific website you are reviewing. For example, on the cover page, you might use a picture you randomly found on the internet -- make sure you cite to give credit where you got the picture)
When you use pictures in your document, don't forget to compress them (this is an option under "Picture Tools" and select "Compress Pictures" and uncheck "Apply only to this picture" in order to compress all the pictures in your document. Also select "E-mail (96ppi)" for best way to upload your work (note the steps may be different depending on what version of Word you are using)
Don't just tell what the selected website is about -- explain what the strengths and weaknesses are that you identified
Don't forget the Table of Contents
Don't forget the Introduction -- tell the reader what you are going to cover
Don't forget the Conclusion -- tell the reader the key points of what you told them
Finding the unique websites can make the assignment more interesting – this takes some effort. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box
Don't cut and paste from the website -- put things in your own words. If you summarize the website material, then I would not expect to see a citation as I will equate that you are relating the material to the website you are reviewing
If you use a direct material, then it is expected that you cite correctly and use quotation marks and the appropriate citation.

Introduction
Border security and immigration are interrelated policy issues: the first is concerned with the integrity of our country’s borders while the second is concerned with migration flows in and out of the country. The US is facing significant border security issues stemming from illegal immigration across its northern and southern borders. This essay will conduct a webography of relevant federal, state, and local agency websites. It will outline a list of 7 websites that pertain to the topic of immigration and border security. The essay will evaluate each website based on its characteristics and quality of content.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 2016)
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is a federal agency tasked with protecting the United States from cross-border criminal activities and illegal movement of goods and people into the country. It is also the largest and principal agency under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The ICE’s enforcement authorities include over 400 U.S. federal statutes from human smuggling to narcotics to contraband. ICE’s website has an attractive appearance and is simple to navigate: in addition to having pleasing aesthetics, the website is easy to use in terms of moving from one item to another. More importantly, the content on the website is relevant to the issue of immigration and border security. The website contains all the information that is typically and commonly required by individuals accessing content related to the agency, immigration enforcement, transnational crime, among other correlated topics. For instance, the website has a About Us tab where visitors can learn the mission, history, and organizational structure of ICE. The Immigration Enforcement tub contains information on how ICE implemented immigration laws including its criminal apprehension program, fugitive operations, and immigration authority delegation program. The Combating Transnational Crime tab contains details on ICE’s operation priorities like protecting national security, securing the US border, investigating cybercrime, preventing crimes of exploitation, combating financial crime, ensuring public safety, and upholding fairness in global trade. On the other hand, the Newsroom tab contains ICE’s news releases and statements, social media, feature stories, multimedia, as well as speeches and testimonies. Furthermore, the website has additional resources including ICE check-in for noncitizens, online detainee locator system, victims’ engagement and services line, and attorney information and resources, among others. On the whole, the strengths of the website are professional aesthetics, usability, and informativeness. However, the website lacks enough visual components to complement its broad resources: the website relies on iconography mostly to support the extensive content. While the website is very informative and covers a broad range of relevant information on ICE activities, jurisdictions, and help resources, there is very little use of visu...
