Kids in Cages - Fallacies



https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/03/politics/raices-mannequins-cages-iowa-caucus-trnd/index.html

1. Appeal to Consequences - The article discusses clear issues amongst the laws of immigration and the captivity of kids being held captive.  Pushing the argument to exemplify the negative impacts can motivate people to believe the proposition is untrue.
2.Wishful Thinking - This can tie in many emotional attachments with the idea that kids are being kept in cages with foil blankets.  Wrapping our emotions in can motivate us to feel this argument of releasing children from cages is true.o0
3. Accent - Kids in cages is referred to quite often in the article.  I believe this has a strong purpose.  With the continues repetition it brings heavy importance to idea that these kids need to be let of these awful cages
