PROBLEM OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION 6
What should countries do to address the problem of illegal
immigration?
Illegal immigration has been a problem for decades, and the
blame rests on politicians who are not ready to enforce the law.
There is still a chance of fixing it, and most of the immigrants
would be prepared to rally around this plan that comprises of
the rule of law, decency, and common sense. As a result, this
paper provides synthesized rhetorical analysis of three sources
addressing the issue of what should countries do to address the
problem of illegal immigration? The sources that analyzed in
the paper are, controlling illegal immigration: on the scope for
cooperation with a transit country, press coverage of the refugee
and migrant crisis in the EU: A content analysis of five
European countries, and solving illegal immigration [For Real].
The first source about controlling illegal immigration targets
politicians in developed countries as the intended audience. The
article has rich literature on the immigration policy that if
implemented by the lawmakers of developed countries would
substantially address the problem of illegal immigration.
The purpose of this text is to offer insights into the rule of law
that would be used in addressing illegal immigration. The
article raises the question of the assistance that leads to an
increase in migration pressure from developing countries. It was
articulated when the U.S raised the issue of illegal immigration
from Mexico and other African countries.
The authors of this article are credible since they are authors
and academicians in prominent universities. The reasons
provided on how to handle the issue of illegal immigration
depicts the credibility of these authors.
Reader's reaction to the article can be positive because it brings

2. a lot of hope to deal with the immigration issue. The article is
portrayed as to evoke the sufferings that immigrant employees
have undergone probably when being treated as illegal
immigrants, yet they are contributing to the economic growth of
a country.
The elements are organized professionally. In short, the
arrangement seems logical because the article is organized,
starting with the abstract to a conclusion that offers
comprehensive research on the topic.
Finally, the article was first published on the 3rd of July 2014
at the University of Bath. The article can be said it was timely
since it happens during the review of International Economics,
where the issue of illegal immigration was a critical factor in
the discussion.
The second source is a project report written by three authors
about press coverage of the refugee and migrant crisis in the
European Union with consideration of five European countries.
The report is meant to address leaders of different countries as
well as the public about cooperation as well as shaping ways to
find solutions to illegal immigration. The article
comprehensively discusses issues that caused over 200,000
refugees and migrants to flee for safety across the
Mediterranean Sea. It advises leaders of different countries to
ensure there is adequate security in their respective countries to
avoid creating problems to other countries.
The purpose of this report is to offer critical insights into every
nation's press culture during the relevant period of setting
agenda for the current refugee and migrant crisis. It addresses
how the media have predominant themes while covering welfare
and cultural threats. Authors have written this article through
the provision of examples such as over 1300 people who
drowned in 2015 while trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea.
The authors of this article are credible since they are authors
and academicians in prominent universities. The reasons
provided on how to handle the issue of illegal immigration, as
well as the provision of real-time examples, depict the

3. credibility of these authors.
Reader's reaction to the article can be positive because it
narrates some solutions like internal security of individual
countries to assist in reducing refugee and migrant crisis. The
report is portrayed as to evoke the problems that refugees face
while trying to flee for safety in other countries, for instance,
some them end up dying of hunger or even drowning.
The elements are organized professionally. In short, the
arrangement seems logical because the article is organized,
starting with the abstract to a conclusion that offers
comprehensive research on the topic.
Finally, the article was first published on the 9th of May 2016
at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The
report can be said it was timely since it was done immediately
after thousands of refugees drowned due to overcrowding into
unsafe boats while crossing the Mediterranean Sea. The event
led to a massive public outcry that increases rescue operations.
At the same time, UNHCR was engaged in large-scale media
advocacy to convince European nations to help more refugees.
Third and the last source is a YouTube video titled, ‘Solving
Illegal Immigration' by Sonia. Throughout the video, the
speaker seems to address U.S. politicians on how to stem illegal
immigration. It has been established as per the video that
politicians have wholly failed to address this issue
appropriately. Since the author is a journalist, she discusses her
subjects through the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times,
and books to reach as many people as possible.
The purpose of this video is to take on a personal, powerful, and
emotional journey to depict reasons, why solutions pushed for
many decades by the politicians in the United States to stem
illegal immigration, have failed. It is known through the
articulation of the events that happened to her in person as well
as what happened to others.
The speaker in the video seems credible because she is an
award-winning journalist and has experience in tackling the
nation's intractable problems such as immigration, drug

4. addiction, and hunger. Besides, she has won many prestigious
book and journalism awards.
Reader's reaction to the video can be positive because she tells
people about some solutions such as internal security of
individual countries to assist in reducing refugee and migrant
crisis. The article is portrayed as to evoke the problems
immigrants face in the U.S. while seeking essential services.
The elements are not organized professionally. In short, the
arrangement seems not logical because the video lies between
speech and also teachings to the audience. It has no specific
order though the central theme is well articulated.
Finally, the video was first published on the 15th of March 2017
at TEDx Pennsylvania Avenue. The video can be said it was
timely since it was done when Trump Administration is trying
to handle immigration issues in the U.S., but the administration
is facing a lot of resistance. The speaker attempts to persuade
politicians to find permanent solutions to the problem of illegal
immigration.
In conclusion, these three sources have one thing in common,
and they deal with addressing issues on how to handle the
problem of illegal immigration. Their primary intended
audience is politicians who are seen to be potential in offering
lasting solutions to these problems through making laws to
ensure that immigration policies are appropriately implemented.
