Description
Project 2 asks you to write 1200-1400 words identifying a stakeholders’ argument that has been projected through their visual images. You will think critically about the visual and rhetorical strategies this particular group implements in their campaigns. You will choose two specific images created by the organization about a global or cultural issue (i.e. advertisements, PSAs, or static images used on a website, flyer, billboard, etc.), and analyze how these visual arguments reflect the organization’s goals. Project 2 is a Global Citizens Assignment.
So the stakeholders will be DACA and Trump. Originally it was DACA and Homeland security form the First project.

ANALYZING VISUAL RHETORIC
Introduction
In the 1990s and mid-2000s, the United States of America started a journey of enforcing
its US/Mexico border by imposing huge unintended consequences. Many of the illegal
immigrants avoided the unintended consequences of crossing the border back and forth and
instead opted to settle permanently in the U.S with their families. Before then, many of the
illegal immigrants who crossed the border back and forth into the U.S were mostly the workingage men who crossed into the U.S for work while living their families back at their home
countries. Around that period, several changes were made to the U.S immigration law that made
it impossible for illegal immigrants to get legal status of residence if they lived in the country
illegally (Hsin & Ortega, 2017). In this case, the children who crossed the border to the United
States with their parents typically grew up in a country where they had no legal status, and they
could never become the legal residents of the United States. The children of these immigrants
became known to be DREAMers after the implementation of the Dream Act piece of legislation
was first introduced I 2001 to help give hope to the children of immigrants. In 2012, the former
President Barack Obama created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program commonly
known as DACA. Although DACA did not offer the DREAMers a permanent residency in the
United States, it indeed granted the dreamers protection from deportation and gave them hope
through a legal permit to work and legally stay in the United States (Hsin & Ortega, 2017).
The Goals, Mission, and Message of DACA
DACA was created with the aim of offering temporary protection of the children of
immigrants by giving them temporary residency and permit to live and work in the United States.
The DREAMers for a long time had been subjected to fear for deportation and lived in constant

state of fear that made them avoid public places such as healthcare institutions, schools and even
churches for fear of deportation (Hsin & Ortega, 2017). Through DACA, the hopes and dreams
of the children of the immigrants were restored as they were able to work and stay in the U.S
legally based on the residency and work permit granted to them through DACA.
Stakeholder background
In September 2017, President Donald Trump through his administration announced his
plan to end DACA, a program that has helped many children of immigrants who had been
disadvantaged for quite a long time. Trump’s administration has been very controversial on
Obama’s executive order that protected millions of the children of immigrants. DACA provides
amnesty to certain undocumented immigrant many of whom came to the United States as
children (McKee & Stuckler, 2017). Recipients of the program were termed dreamers, and
through the program, they can request consideration for differed action for two years which was
subject to renewal. The announcement by President Trump to dismantle DACA was faced with a
lot of criticism because currently the program covers over 800,000 children of immigrants and
dismantling the program would mean that their legal status is curtailed and may have to face
deportation. Earlier this year, president Tr...
