Analysis of the US Immigration Ban
Questions: 1. What is the background of the story? 2. What are the central messages of the propaganda? (Be specific) 3. Demonstrate evidence of persuasion and rhetoric. 4. Who were the target audiences? (Again be specific) 5. Were the expected goals achieved? 6. Discuss its likely or intended impact on the recipient. Answers: 1. The political holocaust that fell upon one of the superpower states of the world on November 8 during its presidential elections had huge global impacts (Hong, 2017).The impending catastrophe brought about by the recent executive propagandas issued by President Donald Trump of United States of America on January 29 revealed the temporary ban on Muslim immigrants and refugees. The background of this discriminatory order have been followed as necessary action to fight terrorist attacks but the poor implementation policies are resulting into major agitations and dire consequences all across Europe ( Masri Senussi, 2017). It states forbiddance of people mainly from the Middle Eastern countries of Iraq, Yemen, Sudan, Syria, Libya, Iran and Somalia for about 3 months. The suspensions brought about in the Refugee Applications System and the persecutions of the Citizenship and Immigration Services are facing a huge toll over all the airports as reported by the media (Masri Senussi, 2017). The order also imposes restrictions on the rules and provisions of refugee programs for an indefinite period. 2. The follow up of several atrocious and terrorist attacks that have has worldwide consequences. The propaganda issued on banning people from which it cites as, Muslim majority states affects global harmony in a dangerous manner. In fact proposing such a regressive action by the administration of Trump have already created alert situations for the existing membership and visa criterias in the United States of America ( Jowett Odonnell, 2014). With the attempt of reducing the terrorist menace and volatile activities that have undertake in the last century , the executive order has turned into a regressive propaganda measure. Several confusions and altercations are been reported in the past few days that lay a foresight on the worst-case scenario, which is impending on the face of the global scenario (Hong, 2017). 3. The basis of any arising propaganda, in this century is politically driven. It composes of strategies that can crop into a volatile situation and causes about major social unrest, as America is facing currently. The nature of this propaganda is an act of an eye for an eye that persuades the crisis scenario, which has befallen on the state (Jowett Odonnell, 2014). In fact, the fragile situations that will cost the human rights and their work permissions or family visas have resulted in mass agitations and protests all over Europe and adjacent countries like Canada. Several sections of the society have been aghast over such drastic effects and the raised claims are not completely relevant in todays society (Masri Senussi, 2017). The media and several departments are condemning this act. Social media is been considered as one of the active agents in raising their help and cooperation to the homeless immigrants and refugees (Hong, 2017). 4. The harsh order released by the United States of America as part of the necessary action for treating and fighting the terrorist and miscreant acts involves religious discrimination against a particular sect who has specific set of faiths and ideologies (Jowett Odonnell, 2014). The violent and drastic events or the blasts accrued by ISIS and other vigilante groups in the past have raised concerns about the evidences of them belonging to a certain religion (Wadhia, 2016).The controversies that have risen due to this conservative links derived from the earlier evidence are been brought into effect to promote annihilation and violence. It can also be termed as the promotion of jihadi rights and religious intolerance policies (Masri Senussi, 2017). 5. The adjournment in the permission of visiting the United States of America by the residents of the presumable seven countries and the immigrants was a judgmental approach (Wadhia, 2016). The 90 days pact and the temporary unavailability of the rights to visit the States are yet to unfold many other decisions. This is because there are already rules and laws that are to put these impositions on hold (Jowett Odonnell, 2014). Advocates and human rights lawyers have already raised proposals and raised their views against this propaganda (Hong, 2017). There is a higher probability of the mean effects and confusion rather than peaceful acceptance as can be witnessed in the following days. The results cannot be determined, as this is apparently a very current rule. 6. In concerning to such a hostile state there has been huge impact on the part of the recipient as it is not limited to a certain group of people, but also their adjoining families. Over the years due to professional requirements and many other concerns, the Visa Issuing Department of the United States of America have received thousands of application for work permits as well as dependant visas which might get jeopardized ( Wadhia, 2106). Temporary citizens or the people plying through tourist visas also have to suffer many discrepancies, as the allowance criterions would not be applicable for a stipulated period. Several mass agitations and demonstration have taken place at the airports that have detained citizens from flying out of the country (Hong, 2017). The major amount of industry situated in USA those hires employees from third world countries have raised concerns to this antagonistic decision by the Federal Government. There will be major suspensions of business transactions because in a globalized context banning or imposing restrictions in not legible (Masri Senussi, 2017).
