Palomarez does a very good job appealing to his readers’ emotions. He speaks of how Trump has gone back on a promise he made to Dreamers that they could “rest easy” (qtd. In Palomarez), which encourages readers to feel somewhat mistrustful of Trump. He also speaks of Dreamers who will “lie awake at night, wondering whether it will be their last one in America,” evoking feelings of sympathy from the audience. Palomarez also targets Trump himself in a subtler use of pathos, with the use of such words as, “cowardly,” “cruel,” and “reckless,” which cause readers to view Trump in a more negative light, and therefore, be more likely to oppose his decision.
