Week 2

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chapman/ct-trump-illegal-immigration-crackdown-perspec-0129-jm-20170127-column.html

The opinion piece I chose is a perspective piece in Sunday's Chicago Tribune, "How Trump's immigration crackdown will backfire" by Steve Chapman, a Tribune columnist. The article talks about President Trump's stands and actions on immigration. Chapman clearly explains President's Trump history on immigration, from the time he began talking about it in his campaign speeches until this moment during his third week in office. It's easy to perceive Chapman's opinion on the issue because throughout the whole story he uses facts and other articles to back up his arguments. Chapman believe's President Trump's actions against immigration will not benefit the country in the long run. The column also transitions very well from President Trump's immigration wall to sanctuary cities. The only aspect the piece is missing is the new ban on immigrants that President Trump signed on Wednesday. Being such a big issue, it would have tied in Chapman's argument even better. Overall, it's a very good article on a very important and timely issue.
