Discrimination and Abuse of Power in Immigration Rhetoric
The current rhetoric on immigration by the speaker is marked by discrimination against immigrants from various countries like Venezuela, Congo, China, Asia, Africa, and South America. The speaker shows a selective bias by excluding European immigrants from criticism. The rhetoric revolves around labeling immigrants as monsters, worst criminals, and not even people. Despite the discriminatory language, the speaker enjoys stoking fear and demagoguing on immigration, attempting to create an argument that portrays him as defending the border. It is suggested that when persuading voters, one should differentiate between what the speaker says, what he aims to do, and his actual powers, such as pardoning individuals, which he has been known to abuse in the past.
