The article describes metaphorical models which represent the concept of immigration in the discourse of ex US president Barack Obama and today’s American president Donald Trump. The conducted comparative analyses of remarks by two presidents in address to the nation on immigration distinguished certain metaphorical models which actualize different priority tendencies of immigrational politics of the presidents, and which serve for forming needed images and defining people’s way of thinking and behavior. The analysis showed how linguacultural images of American world view have changed during the last three years. The paper points out dominant metaphorical models characterizing immigration from different points of view. For Barack Obama immigration is a source of entrepreneurial and economic potential. Donald Trump’s metaphors present immigrants as aliens threatening the safety of the nation.
