927 Words4 Pages

The American Dream is sought after by many people. Living the life of freedom and education is what many people are constantly fighting for. Children and families come to the United States in order to receive a better life and better opportunities. In 2012, DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) was established by Obama. DACA is an american immigration program designed to protect immigrant children throughout the United States. In Why Trump must end DACA the author, Dale Wilcox, gives reasons as to why Trump should get rid of DACA overall. While in The case for keeping DACA the author, Ilya Somin, gives many reasons to why DACA is good for the people of the United States. In Why Trump must end DACA, Wilcox uses logistics, such as statistics …show more content…

He first sets the stage of the article by mentioning the bad behavior of Barack Obama for instituting this program. There are passive aggressive comments throughout the essay, mentioning the negative results that come with DACA. Wilcox mentions the relationship the United States has with Mexico, strengthening his own argument. Lastly, Wilcox strengthens his argument by mentioning how DACA affects the social and economic statues in the United States. In the article taxpayers are upset about using their money to support uneducated minors, in which their money could have been going towards American youth (CITATION). A large problem for many people concerning the DACA program is that it is illegal protection. “If they get their way on DACA the incentives for further law-breaking at at our border will only increase, calling this the moral hazard problem” said …show more content…

There are many places throughout the article where the author fails to persuade his audience appropriately. The reader may notice there are some areas in the article that Dale Wilcox is lacking the appropriate strategies to fully convince his audience. In the article Dale Wilcox uses a strategy where he brings up an irrelevant topic which can help pull the reader's attention away from the main argument of the article, also known as the red herring fallacy. To pull readers away from the original argument on why Trump must end DACA, he brings up a problem with the oil fields in Mexico. Wilcox places blame of the fall of the oil fields in Mexico on the raised levels on Mexicans that are crossing the border into the United States. This statement provides no correlation between each other, weakening the author’s argument. Wilcox tends to use repetition on certain words that may pull certain strings towards the audience he is trying to reach such as; immigration, amnesty, and illegal. He uses more negatively connotated words that may appeal to the readers, while in hopes to emphasize the types of people that would fall under the DACA program. The use of these words also help pertain this article to a closed circle of people Wilcox is trying to approach. Any person reading this article who may fall under the category of these words would take offense, and possibly be worn off

    Every time he drove his car, he ran the risk of being stopped by a police officer and getting arrested. In the Macrosystem layer, the 1968 law called the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), had created challenges for any illegal Mexican who had successfully crossed the border into America. The law expanded the border patrol and sought to punish employers who hired unauthorized immigrants. Isaias could not get a good job, because he was considered an unauthorized immigrant.

    In the editorial “Ending DACA Would Upend the Dreams of a Generation of Immigrants Without Fixing a Thing”, recently published by the Los Angeles Times, the writers address the current issues surrounding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in response to a public statement by the White House suggesting that the President is expected to annul DACA in as quickly as a week. In this article, the editors first explain what DACA is and what it accomplishes. DACA is a program instituted by the order of previous United States President Barrack Obama which is “designed to give stability to people whose undocumented status is no fault of their own” (“Ending” 1). Primarily intended for people who were minors brought illegally over the United States boarder by their parents, this federal policy provides a renewable two-year work visa and, consequently, immunity to deportation during that time for over 750,000 previously undocumented illegal immigrants.

  • Immigrant Immigration Reform Summary

    483 Words  | 2 Pages

    In his opinionated news article, “Ignorant Immigration Reform”, author David J. Bier asserts his opinion on a bill that will reduce the legal immigration by 50% in the United States. Bier supports his position by discussing how the bill won’t reduce immigration, stop the way immigrants are affecting the Americans wages and how they’re following Canada’s footsteps by concentrating on the skilled immigrants. Bier’s purpose is to notify the government of basic facts that they should know before making such claims, in order to bring into light what the real issue is. He writes in a very direct and sincere tone for the government and general public to inform them on false information that the government is claiming that the bill will do. Bier makes it very clear on where he stands on this issue by using credible facts, briefly explaining the opposing side's viewpoint, but he also shows that he’s very bias.

    The final reason we think illegal immigrants should be able to cross the border freely. They can’t get jobs to get money and buy food or the things they need to survive where they were before.

  • Argumentative Essay On Immigration In America

    In some people’s minds, they automatically assume yes, but in reality, it’s a no, immigrants tend to perform labor, and do minimal jobs that Americans don’t, and won't do, so they mistake that as immigrants taking ‘Americans job’, but it’s actually a missed opportunity. One reason for people not taking the jobs is because of the hours, the next reason is the pay might not satisfy a legal immigrant, and people born in America, another reason is it wouldn’t be able to support a regular American family, but they will be able to support an illegal immigrant. The downside is that the policymakers disagreement is the weak labor since the spread immigrants flow has made a dramatic change seeing that the H-B has issued down by twenty- five percent in 2010. The last reasoning is American people want to have a debate on if immigration is stealing American jobs, but according to evidence immigrants actually increases job opportunity and incomes of Americans. This is wise because even George G. Borjas’s long-run estimates suggest that immigrants raise the wages of people with high school diplomas.”-
