I personally view Chavez's essay to be more of an appeal to emotion than a reasoned argument. I have to admit she did have some statistics thrown in there, but it seemed as if she was trying to make immigrants look like better people than american people. Her using statistics about their divorce rates compared to ours, and their men being harder workers than our own is what swayed me toward thinking she upset and addressing this topic out of emotion. The underlying assumption she seems to base her argument on is that we think immigrants are bad people, and bad for our country. I do not think it is reasonable because it is not about how good the people are. When they come in and are taking american's jobs and think they have the right to change
