Rhetorical Analysis Immigration

Immigration seems to be a hot topic in the new right now. There seems to be this uneasiness in the public because the idea of people different than ourselves is startling to us, even though most of the public themselves are decedents from immigrants. News media and political representatives have made the choice to categorize these moving groups with metaphors surrounding water. Many believe that is it just the conservative side of politics that use these metaphors, but David Horsey (a political cartoonist) and Barack Obama have both used water to describe immigrants. This issue needs to be addressed because immigration is not going to stop anytime soon. I want to argue that the flood and wave metaphors are not productive because they (i) dehumanize

Jose Antonio Vargas, a Pulitzer Prize winning author, shares his life-long journey as an undocumented immigrant in his text, “My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant.” As the title suggests, Vargas attempts to convey to his audience, who likely never has and never will experience anything similar to what he has, what it is like to live as an immigrant in the United States of America.

Immigration has been an essential but disruptive aspect of the people and the political state of the United States; however, debates related to immigration and its benefits are intensified significantly. Opposing immigration keeps ranting on how government should exercise better law to control over the people entering into the States from the foreign land. One of the most buzzed argument is that American citizen is unemployed because immigrants stole their jobs and disrupted the economy (Hoban, 2017). Also, an appeal to National security and vulnerability after several terrorist attacks all over the world and also to the government to keep track and maintain the no. of immigrants to create a safer environment (Cafaro, 2009). However, the contrary to these arguments have often been proven right. The pattern of the immigration shows that the contribution of the immigrants has resulted in an economic boost that cannot be overlooked by the government.

Zadeh is an immigrant from Urmia Iran, plagued by the injustices and maddening systems of American immigration policies. In addition, once he does eventually get into the country, the blockades to starting up his business have no interest in easing off. By exposing these malpractices to a larger audience, Zadeh wants to convince readers that immigration policies are more of a hindrance than a help.

In the article “Deportation Before Incarceration” by Peter H. Schuck, he proposes an innovative way to help alleviate overcrowding in the United States prison system – the deportation of some immigrants before they enter prison. What makes Schuck’s article effective is his use of the rhetorical device known as organization.

Doak, Mr. Camarota clarified the misunderstood relation between immigration and the economy. He evaluated the negative impact of immigration to the economy. He further explained that the increase in the population is inversely proportional to gross domestic product.

As for the government’s spending to balance the economy of the country, Camarota reported that the allocated subsidy is far greater than the big economy incurred by the increase in immigration.
