illegal aliens from federal law enforcement requesting help from local authorities.
Bazerman's fourth level of intertextuality provides a lens through which this article can be classified as fake news. This article relies on the reader to have a predisposition against undocumented immigrants.
Pelosi just does not understand….her limited brain power does not allow her to understand that WE THE PEOPLE do not want these criminal aliens to get sanctuary anywhere. Sure after they kill someone we love, they will be prosecuted, but why allow them sanctuary from ICE until they do? Pelosi cannot understand that these CRIMINALS have no right to be here in the first place. Damn it, Pelosi, how can you be so incredibly stupid.
Target audience is already pre-disposed to disagree with Pelosi's response.
One Florida city has already changed their policies in response to his threat, while Democrats are doubling down and promising to keep “sanctuary city” policies intact.
The article reports an arguably mundane fact: Wilkerson confronts Pelosi on sanctuary cities. The implicit report is that a victim of illegal immigration confronts a democrat who is invested in doubling down on protecting criminals.
How do you reconcile in your head about letting people disavow the law?” Wilkerson continued. “The second part of my question is this: If you need to go home tonight and line up your babies as you say, and your grandbabies, which one of them could you look in their eyes today and tell them that they’re expendable for another foreign person to have a nicer life?
Wilkerson presents a false dichotomy where U.S. citizen must suffer for immigration. The overarching theme in this article is that undocumented immigrants are alien criminals who hurt U.S citizens to thrive.
“In 2010 one of the illegals slaughtered my son,” she began. “He tortured him, he beat him, he tied him up like an animal. And he set him on fire. And I am not a one-story mother. This happens every day because there are no laws enforced at the border.”
Wilkerson argues that her son died because the murderer should not have been in the country in the first place. She conflates the undocumented status of the murderer with criminality and assumes that her son died because of illegal immigration.
