The word you are probably looking for is a fallacy. However, a fallacy is generally considered to be an argument which has a superficial attractiveness, but which on closer examination proves to have no logical basis. A good example is the argument "We all know that if a person is an immigrant they will work for cheap. He works for cheap so he has to be an immigrant." This particular fallacy is called affirming the consequent. Or the argument, "My Holy Book is the true word of God because the true word of God, contained in my Holy Book, says so. And you know you can believe it because it is the word of God." This fallacy is called a circular argument, begging the question (a phrase which is often used by people who have no idea what it means), or in Latin, petitio principii. However, an "argument" which is just nonsense, like, "My father was a true-blue American and I hate Chinese food so the US should declare war on North Korea", basically lacks even superficial attractiveness and would only appeal to those who cannot reason from A to A, and is not usually called a fallacy.
