The Facts
With around 33M people reportedly under winter storm watches and close to 27M under wind-chill alerts in the US, concerns have increased for recently arrived migrants who lack shelter and those who will be making crossings.
In many cities, including El Paso, Texas, shelter systems are strained, and photos of migrants attempting to stay warm while living on the streets have gone viral.
The Spin
Republican narrative
The Biden admin. has failed to meet its constitutional duty to secure the border, putting states in an untenable situation where their safety is at risk and their resources are being stretched thin. If Title 42 ends, this crisis will only get worse.
Democratic narrative
This is undoubtedly a crisis; but a humanitarian one. These migrants have been through indescribable experiences, and it's time that the federal government and the states work together to find a solution and give these people a fresh start.
