Is the american dream truly for everyone? the stereotypes shaping immigrants’ reality
Abstract: Throughout history, we can infer that media is the Fourth Estate due to its influence within politics. Such statement has become even clearer during the last years, especially in the United States due to the stereotypes framing immigrants depending on the current agenda. The aim of this paper is to observe the discourse (racism, American dream) of articles against the DREAM Act through the theoretical framework provided by Van Dijk and López to determine the influence within politics of a stereotypical portrayal of immigrants.
