And when each new wave of immigrants arrived, they faced resistance from those who were already here. They faced hardship. They faced racism. They faced ridicule. But over time, as they went about their daily lives, as they earned a living, as they raised a family, as they built a community, as their kids went to school here, they did their part to build a nation. –President Barack Obama. To any in Congress who do not believe we should enforce our laws, I would ask you this one question: What would you say to the American family that loses their jobs, their income, or their loved one because America refused to uphold its laws and defend its borders? Our obligation is to serve, protect, and defend the citizens of the United States. –President Donald Trump. Consider these two arguments about immigration. In a well-structured paragraph, compare the rhetorical devices used by President Obama and President Trump.

Answer:
The rhetorical devices used by President Obama and President Trump has been given below in the paragraph.
Explanation:
Pathos and Logos are employed in President Barack Obama's immigration argument. Pathos may be shown when he tries to elicit feelings of sympathy, shame, and empathy from the audience for those families who come to the United States and experience problems such as prejudice. He's attempting to elicit particular emotions by discussing the challenges and sorrows of those families. He's making use of a psychological resource. When he speaks about realities, such as the reality that racism still exists in the United States and that immigrants are a part of the American community, Logos is visible. He bases his argument on logic and evidence.
Pathos, Ethos, and Logos are all employed in President Donald Trump's immigration argument. When he tries to communicate feelings of grief and pity for American families who lose their employment as a result of immigrants taking American jobs, he uses pathos. He tries to express his views about the difficulties that Americans suffer in comparison to the plight of immigrants. The word logos appear in the last sentence. The citizens of the United States are our responsibility to serve, protect, and defend. He employs reasoning to persuade the audience, attempting to persuade them that his statement is ethically correct and hence logical. The word ethos appears in both the last and first phrases. He uses his power to persuade others that his viewpoint is correct.
