Before taking a stand, or lack
thereof, on mass immigration into the United States, understanding the true
affects immigrants pose on society is a must. “Don’t Shut the Golden Door”
written by John M. MacDonald and Robert J. Sampson is an article that was posted
in the New York Times in June 2012, just
a couple months away from the November presidential election. The golden door
refers to the boundary of our country, the surrounding border, in which
millions of people have crossed during the past century, in search of the ever
so popular “American Dream”. This article holds an overwhelming sense of
authorial intent, subtle at times, intended to convince voters to vote a
certain way; included with the appeal of many logos and pathos forms, the
writers take a blunt stance and effectively aim towards your head (logic) and
your heart (emotion).
