Zadeh chose to conclude his op-ed piece on a happy note through detailing the process of how he finally became a United States citizen following 13 years of immigration limbo. His pieces illustrates how contrary to widespread belief, immigrants can provide towards the American job industry and economy versus taking a toll on it and he does so through a personal narrative. A fact that Zadeh expresses yet fails to elaborate further upon on is those "friends of [his who] decided it was too difficult here [in America]", he mentions that he had friends who chose to pursue careers in more accepting areas such as Canada and the United Kingdom. For a future piece, a expanded story on the journey of these certain individuals could be beneficial as it
The article “How the Supreme Court’s immigration decision hurts all of us” (2016) Roberto G. Gonzales. Roberto G. Gonzales is an assistant professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education and author of “lives in limbo:Undocumented and coming of age in america”. Gonzales sounds sad and disappointed through his article. Gonzales claims that the Obama administration had created a new and life changing program to help young undocumented immigrants. The program was named DACA which stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The program gives young immigrants deportation relief and other benefits such as a work permit a driver's license and some even open bank accounts and build their credit, which can benefit the economy. Gonzales explains
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. Zadeh’s main rhetoric use is pathos, and his emotional ties to his experience gives the reader a very clear and thoughtful description of the horrors of immigration. However, he doesn’t shy away from other appeals, he makes sure to back up his claims with facts given by very credible sources and personal involvement. Since he is a co founder/CEO

Xenophobia: an unreasonable fear or hatred of foreigners or strangers. This an age old concept that has stricken groups of people since the era of exploration. Americans have notoriously fallen victim to this. Since the first British Colonist sailed over in the year 1585, there has been a tradition set to fear the foreign. In Racheal Ida Buff’s “Immigrant Rights in the Shadows of Citizenship” immigrations are critically analyzed in regards to minority relations to the white majority, mostly resulting in persecution or exclusion.

“Outlaw: My Life In America As An Undocumented Immigrant” by Jose Antonio Vargas from the New York Times, is a narrative essay that focuses on telling a story of past events. Vargas proposes that since he grew up in America that this is considered his home. Vargas believed he would be granted citizenship if he worked harder and achieved more. His motivation of sharing his childhood journey would be the relief of him coming forward about his legal status to those who were not aware and to those who he truly cares about but could not risk sharing his story with. Vargas tone and stance attracts people who are or have already been through the same path and for those that come to America to live the “American Dream” like Vargas intended to. Vargas concludes he is trapped in duplicity and being dishonest about his legal status is destroying his character. Even though, Vargas convinces me about his difficult journey as an undocumented immigrant, his belief that coming forward with the truth of his legal status will allow him to regain his values or the trust of those who he has already lied to is unconvincing because after all those years it has become a part of his selfhood.

Since Amin Ahmad immigrated into the United States from India, he has real life experience that contributes to his claims. He is able to connect specific occurrences he faced with immigrants like himself, and their comparable situations. He explains that, “my passport tells the story of my immigrant life: my student and work visas; all the entry and exit stamps as I traveled between India and the United States” (Ahmad 38). His passport is a constant reminder of the journey he has traveled and the experiences that define him as a person. Ahmad demonstrates a perspective of immigration that is unique to many. Not only has he made the steps towards leaving his country, he has successfully created a life for himself.
