The majority of this article is emotion appeals. The author draws the conclusion that the way the Republican leaders in the United States are responding to this refugee situation is a way of repeating history. The number inferences made between the current situation and the Holocaust pull at the audience’s emotions. The Holocaust is such an powerful part of history with extreme hate and tragedy that at the mere mention of the word “Holocaust” emotions are being affected. The author furthers this tug at emotions by mentioning the story of St. Louis, reminding the us that United States has turned away people in need before and forced them into a death by ignoring their need for help.

When I was fourteen-years-old, I first saw the photograph of the Afghan Girl on the cover of National Geographic. She was a refugee of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan captured in a single frame of Steve McCurry’s camera. The oceanic coloration of her eyes and the ghost-like expression on her face captivated my attention, just as it had captivated the attention of the Western world in 1985.
