The author, Nancy
LeTourneau has been a writer for Washington monthly since 2014 and prior has
written her own blogs. For 20 years she has been a part of non-profit organizations,
influencing and implementing public policy on local and state level. Nancy
holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Social Studies and a master’s in Marriage
and Family therapy. She uses her credibility and respect to write a strong
informative, and quite expressive message regarding Trump’s decisions with
DACA.
DACA is the “Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals” which essentially lets minors who entered the United
States illegally, to be eligible for a work permit for a renewable two-year
period of deferred action. In this article, Nancy LeTourneau expresses her dissatisfaction
with our president and Members of Congress involved with the situation. She reveals
that legislation still hasn’t done anything to protect the Dreamers from deportation,
and does not forget to leave out her detestation for the president.
Nancy LeTourneau’s
argument essentially just exposes Trump and Congress on their lack of action to
protect the Dreamers. She stands to defend the Dreamers from deportation and
does everything in her power to reveal the corrupted ways of our government.
Her intended audience is anyone who supports the immigrant youth, along with
Democrats.
Although I
support everything Nancy LeTourneau is saying, the way she presents her
argument and information is a bit messy. It is obvious that she is extremely
passionate and wants to protect the youth, but her evidence and logic behind
her argument was unclear. Most of her evidence is from media as well as her own
personal references. It seems to me that the logic behind her argument was expressed
with more emotion and anger regarding what congress is potentially doing to our
younger generation, rather than direct sources.
