Parody

Link to riginal article- https://townhall.com/columnists/lindachavez/2002/11/13/guest-worker-visas-n1222677

Rationale- 
This article outlines that in order to deal with Illegal Immigrants and Legal Immigrants in the country of United States of America, the American government should make them pay an extra tax for living in the USA since they are not Americans. Furthermore it specifically refers to Latinos as aliens using a negative connotation to define Latinos creating bias and further oppressing them through implicitly stating that they do not belong in the USA. The article also disapproves of the creating of Green Cards which created an opportunity for the immigrants to legally work, open bank accounts, fly in domestic flights and obtain driver's license and library cards in the USA. The article further states that this is an encouragement for other countries to take advantage of the vacuum that exists in the American immigration policy hence suggesting that the "aliens" should stay since they help boost the economic status however they can only stay in the condition that they will only work hard labour jobs that pure Americans refuse to do and that they will only be allowed to stay in the USA if the economy is bad, but if it is good and stable they will be sent back home. 

In my parody I utilized specific language to create a realistic connotation towards the Americans which is the word "gringo" devaluing them as foreigners, what most Latinos call Americans as well as referring to Latinos as "slaves" utilizing hyperbole to showcase racism. Furthermore rhetoric questions are utilized as well as bias in the numbers and statistics in order to manipulate and informations and create a sarcastic tone. Lastly bias in the headline is utilized with the aim to create such hyperbole that it will not seem believable.

"Lucky Latinos saved by the new Slave Policy in the United States of America!"

 The world’s fight against racism and inequality has been progressively bettering itself through the years, however United States of America manages to continuously cooperate towards the cause in making the world a better place. Not only do they reinforce racism and oppression against minorities but they are now encouraging slave-like behavior. The gringos are ready to repeat history. Back in 1980 in the United States of America approximately 3,953,761 were slaves representing 12.6% of the population. However this time around things will be different, they have a different focus, Latinos. About half of Hispanics in the U.S. (52%) say they have experienced discrimination or have been treated unfairly because of their race or ethnicity. Why not strive for higher? Make that 52% become 100%. After all, their sole purpose is to serve the gringos with their labour and loyal service hence becoming their little servants. States such as Louisiana, Nevada and Texas are the top 3 racist states in the United States of America and I firmly believe that the rest of the states should follow their exemplary behaviour. 

Modern day methods of discipline are not even close to being as effective as the olden days. The gringos that understand and support the cause have reminded themselves of chains. Chains will be put in every Latino, to ensure that they do not go anywhere besides their labour area. Furthermore, another advancement in that the United States has managed to make is the quick cargo shipping of slaves. Due to gringos being picky when it comes to what slave they want to serve them, if they are not satisfied, they can simply send them back to their store through and airplane and order another slave. Isn’t it fantastic? Being a gringo has never been better in history. 

Slaves have never been more accessible and disposable history. Previously, only a few human rights were given to slaves, but the goal here is to not give a single human right to them, ensuring that they will live a beautifully inhumane miserable and exploited life. Being a Latino has never been more promising. In 2014 it was recorded that 11.7 million of the population consisted of Mexicans. However there are 197.9 million pure gringos in the United States, meaning that more slaves will have to be ordered from the store in order to satisfy the gringo population. Lastly, in order to make sure that the slaves are recognizable from the rest of the population in the united states, they should be limited to one specific type of clothing being a beige jumpsuit with their passport number on it so that shipping becomes easier.
