Trump's Immigration Order-Shame On You Mr President Analysis

Not long ago, Donald Trump became the 45th President of the United States in which he decided to make an executive order on immigration, but that did not please the people. Michael A Cohen, author of the article ‘‘Trump’s immigration order - Shame on you, Mr. President’’ published on Boston Globe, tells of this order the president posed. The purpose of article is to persuade his audience, citizens of the United States, that Trump’s decision to ban certain races from entering the US is in American. He persuades his audience with an appeal to pathos, logos that Trump’s executive order on immigration should be taken down. First, Cohen persuades his audience to sympathize and support immigrants through an appeal to pathos. For example, the author

For example, the author tells key points, specifically which immigrants are not allowed to enter. He targets not only seven countries, but also people with “ dual citizens and even green card holders” (Cohen). The author speaks how considerably unfair the executive order is as it limits and blocks many people from entering. Americans with family from around the world realize that they would not be able to enter because either they have a dual citizenship or a green card. The green card does not make sense because they are people that have already gone through lots of challenges to have a residency. Trump does not realize the amount of damage that this can do especially with the amount of hate the audience may feel after reading this article. Moreover, as the author discuss trump’s action, he criticizes his actions as well. For example, he contradicts Trump’s beliefs by saying that “Trump likes to claim that under the current refugee resettlement rules we don’t know who is coming into the country. That is a lie” (Cohen). The author feels a need to criticize Trumps as many have done since before he became president. It seems as if it is his strategy to appeal to the people. It is also as if he tells the audience, he is on their side, all for the people. Overall, through Cohen use of an appeal to pathos and logos, he achieves convincing his audience that Trump’s executive order on immigration should be taken
