Abstract

Immigration has been an integral part of American history, drawing the attention of every one to the country's presidents, including the incumbent Donald J. Trump. President Trump is known to have been quite "frank" in conveying his views of immigrants and immigration, as well as his perspectives regarding their positive and negative aspects. This qualitative descriptive study aims to analyze the view about immigrants and immigration conveyed through President Trump's speeches on immigration policy. Using Fairclough's three-dimensional framework for its analysis, it finds that President Trump's ideology is reflected in several textual aspects of his speeches, including their transitivity, mood, modality, and thematic structure. These practices highlight the involvement of other actors in drafting these speeches, which offer a discourse on immigrants and immigration that marginalizes previous policies.Keywords: Critical Discourse Analysis, Immigrants Immigration, Ideology, Trump, Policy.  “PRO SIAPA?”: ANALISIS WACANA KRITIS PIDATO-PIDATO KEBIJAKAN IMIGRASI PRESIDEN TRUMPAbstrak            Imigrasi adalah isu yang sangat lekat sepanjang sejarah Amerika. Setiap presiden Amerika selalu memberikan perhatian khusus dalam isu ini, termasuk Presiden Trump. Presiden Trump dikenal sebagai presiden yang cenderung untuk berbicara cukup “frontal” dalam membahas topik atau mengemukakan pendapat terhadap imigrasi dan imigran. Pro dan kontra menjadi hal yang tak terhindarkan di masa kepemimpinannya. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Penelitian ini berupaya untuk mengungkap ideologi yang dianut oleh presiden Trump berkaitan dengan pandangannya terhadap imigrasi dan imigran dalam tiga pidato kebijakan imigrasi yang disampaikannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan kerangka analisis tiga dimensi dari Fairclough. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aspek tekstual berupa transitivitas, modus dan modalitas, serta pengembangan tematik mengindikasikan ideologi Trump terhadap imigrasi dan imigran. Melalui pembahasan praktik wacana, diketahui jika ada keterlibatan pihak lain dalam penyusunan pidato. Konsep-konsep ideologi yang ditemukan melalui analisis praktik sosial cenderung untuk memihak Amerika dan memarjinalisasi kebijakan imigrasi lama serta imigran. Kata kunci: Analisis Wacana Kritis, Imigran Imigrasi, Ideologi, Trump, Kebijakan.

Abstract

Indonesia's food security program has been implemented to increase the national crop production and economic gains. However, the policy has sparked a nationwide debate about its ecological and social issues. Mass media play an important role in bringing the policy to the spotlight. In its reports, Mongabay frequently represents the program through negative evaluative language that emphasizes its environmental and sociocultural consequences.. This study aims to examine how the media demonize the Merauke Integrated Food and Energy Estate (MIFEE) program and scrutinize its ecological and ideological implications. This qualitative study employs critical ecolinguistic discourse analysis to examine ecological representations in media texts.  The data of demonization were ascertained from news articles about the MIFEE program published by Mongabay during the period 2012–2024. The results of the study indicate that firstly demonization of the MIFEE project by the media is a discursive strategy to frame that the program is represented as causing ecological, social, and cultural harm that outweighs its claimed benefits for food production and economic growth. Secondly, the nature is presented as a living entity directly impacted by human intervention. Thirdly, food security policies are presented to be entwined with human rights issues,  and the shifting in local food systems is seen as a form of gastrocolonialism. The analysis results demonstrate that demonization of the project by the media has shaped an alternative ecological narrative and policy makers should  ensure that food sovereignity projects go hand in hand with environmental sustainability and the life and culture of the local people.
