In the article, "Don't Shut the Golden Door" by John M Macdonald and Robert J Sampson the two discussed the way immigrants help the country. They stated that Asian migrants have overrun Hispanics, and that crime has gone down in the areas migrants live in. Many areas where immigrants have settled at are improving and getting reconstructed. The authors state that immigration has brought upon a positive outlook for the U.S. They believe immigrants should be heard, but yet again its everyones own opinion about such a controversial issue.

-5 Rhetorical Strategies

Structure- This article is supported by studies and facts about immigration being a good benefit for the country.

Tone- The tone in this writing was well conquered by getting to the point and giving supported evidence to back it all up.

Allusion- "they make up 13 % of the population, the largest such proportion since the 1920's."

Consonance-"immigration has been associated not only with a decrease in crime but also with economic revitalization and reductions in concentrated poverty.

Contrast- "social scientist found that people in immigrants communities in New York were less cynical about the law than were people in less diverse communities; they were also more likely to indicate that they would cooperate with the police."
why this article? - I chose this article because there has been controversial issues upon immigration. Many say it is a bad issue and should  ban everyone that is a migrant whether Hispanic or Asian, but according to the authors of this article they believe immigrants benefit for the better, and should be heard. I agree with the authors and there supported evidence, because throughout the years they have been working hard in a search of a better life, and are benefiting the country with the supported evidence.
