I chose this article because of my latino background. it seems like an interesting topic and understand this issue somewhat well. i can relate to it because of relatives and friends who i know have gone through this type of situation.
Pathos (Emotion):
“Today's decision underscores the need for a President who will lead on this critical issue and work in a bipartisan fashion to pursue a national immigration strategy. President Obama has failed to provide any leadership on immigration. This represents yet another broken promise by this President." Mckinnon is referring to the promise of coming up with a plan on the immigration issue his first year of presidency. this was in order to win more latino support. but instead he caused disconent within the latino communities.
Imagery: "And we shouldn't forget that Obama was responsible, in part, for blowing up a very fragile bipartisan agreement on immigration reform." Although this may not be the best of the quotes of imagery it can most definitely make a difference on how serious the disagreement on an immigration reform can be for some families who have gone through this.
Setting: As far as the exact location it does not say but in the 5th and 6th paragraphs Mckinnon takes us back to when Obama was first elected president his plans were distinct. he promised an immigration plan which he broke years later. Now as he is trying to win re-election, he offered a policy to end deportation for those who are younger than 30 and arrived to the United States illegally before the age 16.
Tone: the tone in this article is most likely to be serious because of how serious the issue is

Hang in there, hopefully they will find a good resolution to this matter, I was going to do my rhetorical analysis paper on this matter, but it's very hard to see how many families are being affected by this decision.
Oops, I meant the supreme courts decision not mine...
