The relevance of such investigation is conditioned by the growing scientific interest towardphenomenology of political discourse and its various aspects. The analysis of publications helped to reveal the main argumentationschemes / topoi used by the newspaper for the argumentation of its position and validate the necessity for further research ofthe discourse on immigration. The need for further discourse analysis development aimed at the increase of the speech interactioneffectiveness in the political sphere is substantiated. The study of topoi and the identification of their semantic indicators made itpossible to identify characteristic features of the political discourse on immigration, as well as to determine the degree of politicalrhetoric’s effectiveness. Holistic understanding of the nature, causes and consequences of immigration requires a systematic analysisof all discursive strategies in a broad social context.
