Summary:
Alabama's new anti-immigrant law went into effect this September and it is already putting immigrants in fear. The new law has also added frustrating layers of red tape whom Alabama residents must now prove legal status when enrolling children at school. If Alabama succeeds in driving out all of its estimated 120,000 unauthorized immigrants, ignorant restrictionists will surely cheer.
Central Argument:
The central argument that the author is making would be that there are other ways to treat immigrants, instead of frighting them.
Assertions:
Assertion #1: Would be when the author said "Legal immigrants and native-born Alabamans who happen to be or look Hispanic are now far more vulnerable to officially sanctioned harassment."
Assertion #2: Another Assertion would be "There is another more humane and realistic path in which immigrants could earn the right to stay — if Congress would accept its responsibility and move ahead with serious immigration reform. America’s history shows that assimilation works better than deportation — for everyone"
Words:
- Lure
- Invariably
Examples of Rhetorical Analysis:
Ethos- because it goes pro-immigration
Assertion- There's a lot of assertions that support the central argument and are arguable.
