Immigration is one of the most controversial topics in the U.S. As such, this VoiceThread will focus on the rhetoric of immigration in American culture. To do so, we compare multiple dimensions of this rhetoric from the scholarly perspective of our intercultural communication course. Specifically, we incorporate intercultural communication scholarship as a vantage point off which to compare the framing of immigration in news coverage with the framing of immigration in popular culture. We conclude by emphasizing the power of rhetoric to shape public opinion.
