I. Importance
Another huge component of rhetorical situations is the exigence of an issue. Exigence is defined as “an imperfection marked by urgency” (Palczewski et al. 227). Exigency is the urgency around an issue and is crucial for understanding the importance of the problem. This cancelation came about after the Trump administration announced that they would be cancelling DACA and reforming their current immigration regulations. This issue is huge, affecting thousands of American citizens, illegal citizens, and dreamers. This issue also greatly will affect the American economy so, in theory, every American is affected by this issue. As of right now DACA members are still under DACA and Congress has six months to solve the issue in …show more content…
I hope to incorporate statistical and economic analysis, political and legal reasoning, and morality into a number of different articles that are targeted at different communities. I also plan on addressing the opposition in an attempt to persuade those who disagree with me, while simultaneously building up a better case for DACA. A key component of the DACA is the numerous discourse communities that could be reached by arguments made for and against this cancelation. I believe that all of the groups listed act as discourse communities who could hear my arguments, debate, and converse about them.

In my third article I wish to reach arguably the most important group who is directly affected by this decision. I am sure that many of the people who were either in the DACA program, or wanted to apply, feel very alone right now. They likely feel like their government has turned on them, and they have no allies. As an ally of marginalized groups in this country, I hope that my stance on DACA can give them a sense of belonging. I want people who feel as though their government has turned on them to know that their country has not. I believe that it is important to remind these dreamers that they are not alone and that people are willing to stand with
