Rhetorical Analysis Of Trump Kills Immigration Compromise

686 Words3 Pages

The Editorial Board of The New York Times article Trump Kills Immigration Compromise is an ineffective and unsound argument. The article is centered around the Senate's debate on immigration and the Democrats and Republicans proposals for immigration laws. This creates kairos because this is a current debate and makes the argument relevant, but there is a lack of conciliatory language which is paired with the absence of evidence. This makes it so there is no warrant to support their claim that Donald Trump does not care about fixing our immigration problem as longs as he can use it for his political gain. Also, this impacts the logos and ethos and generates an ineffective and unsound argument. In addition, they use negative imagery that …show more content…

“Unfortunately, Mr. Trump is not interested in resolving a difficult problem if he can exploit it for political gain” This statement is delivered without any evidence or warrant build their logos. In addition, there is a lack of conciliatory language that impacts the tone and makes it seems like it is a fact while is actually a judgment they made. This impacts the logos and ethos and generates an ineffective and unsound argument. There is also a play on pathos in this statement created from the diction choice of “difficult problem” and “exploit”. Both of these emphasize mood but have a negative impact on pathos because they have a negative …show more content…

“The president himself at one point expressed sympathy for the young immigrants and said he might make a deal with Democrats to protect them” However, earlier in the argument they already stated that the president did not care if immigration was fixed as long as “he can exploit it for political gain.” But, here they state he “expressed sympathy for the young immigrants” which is the opposite of what they stated previously. This creates a conflicting conditions fallacy that causes the reader's mind to wander aimlessly in a cloud of confusion wondering how they came to be there. This sabotages their logos and ethos for the reader because they are contradicting themselves and not following a clear logical way of

    As Gonzales states with all of his evidence from DACA is that this is a good choice for America and that this is a wake up call to the Supreme Court, legal citizens, and the president that we need this immigration reform. It only just benefits immigrants in America but everyone in the U.S positively.

In the sentence his tone feels disgusted that the lower-court declined Obama’s plan, his plan was to protect immigrants from deportation and to live in America free as a legal citizen.

    At a time when immigration laws are becoming a nation wide debate and have been for years, Trump works to convince his audience that stronger immigration laws should be placed. He does so by first describing the neighboring country of Mexico as “they are not our friend, believe me” ("Full Text: Donald Trump Announces a Presidential Bid."). From the very beginning, this line installs fear into the audience. It leads the audience to feel insecure in their own home country creating an uneasy tone. He then further sparks that fear by saying that “they’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us.

  • Hunting Season Argumentative Analysis

    572 Words  | 3 Pages

    Although, Ojito described her commitment to staying objective she failed towards her conclusion in Hunting Season by providing her own personal opinion and stating "what I think I do know is that Jeffrey Connor didn't set out to kill anybody that night" (Ojito, 2014, p. 223). However, Ojito provided sufficient information leads the reader to make his/her own personal interpretation including the note Jeff wrote at the end of the police report that stated, "killed by me" and the stab wound described as a "twist in the knife when it entered the body." Thus, ultimately, concluding that Jeff lacked "mens rea" when he committed the offense, appears to be bias and the final opinion should be left up to the reader. Another area, not discussed in more detail included the statement Mayor Pontrieri used as a scapegoat throughout Hunting Season. He said, immigration was above his pay range because it’s a federal issue.

    Donald Trump and his ideology are similar of that to Adolf Hitler in relation to Muslims in America. Trump wants all Muslims to wear compulsory identification as Hitler wanted with the Jews of Germany. Trump, much like Hitler, presents his arguments with passion and he manipulates Pathos into his speeches that the audience is blinded to his racist morals. Donald Trump however tends to disregard the theory of Logos in his speeches as it does not play to his strengths. I believe that Pathos is perhaps the most important and influential of the three theories as I think that it helps persuade the audience more powerfully to get behind their beliefs and actions.
