    Instead of presenting her thesis up front, Caitlin Flanagan uses the strategy of pathos to provoke sympathy from the audience by devoting much of the first part of her argument looking at the issue from the perspective of a foreign immigrant worker. She tells the reader to “Imagine” themselves “as a young and desperately poor Mexican man” who “made the dangerous and illegal journey to California to work in the fields” (Flanagan 418).

    In 2004, Canada and the United States implemented the Safe Third Country Agreement – a bilateral agreement modeled after the (then) Dublin Convention of the European Union (Macklin, 2005; Arbel, 2013). As a vital bilateral agreement between Canada and the United States, has the Safe Third Country Agreement caused more harmful implications surrounding refugee claimants than beneficial? Indeed, the Safe Third Country Agreement has caused adverse implications for refugee claimants, as a multitude of criticisms have been raised over issues pertaining to national and border security, international law, and gender politics. First, “[m]any immigration restrictions adopted in the name of ‘national security’ violate the rights of refugees and asylum-seekers” and, thus, critics have raised concerns over the Safe Third Country…

It was in response to the Tampa crisis where Norwegian freighter MV Tampa rescued 438 refugees off a sinking fishing boat named the Palapa (Doherty, 2011).
