The Spin

Republican narrative

Thanks to Biden’s horrendous policies, Mexican drug cartels control Americans on both sides of the border. The cartels kidnap and murder US citizens in Mexico and on American soil, and through drug overdoses using the fentanyl they traffic via the porous border. How many more need to die before Democrats enact effective border policies?

Democratic narrative

The violence that takes place in Mexico has nothing to do with Biden’s border policy. People legally cross the border both ways to attend schools, shop and fulfill medical appointments. These victims, like many others, were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Narrative C

Some of the same far-right Republicans who want to abandon Ukraine in the fight against Russia's invasion are now calling on the US military to fight the Mexican cartels. There are other solutions for the border's problems, but treating cartels as terrorist groups and effectively declaring war on its southern neighbor is one of the worst ideas in American political history.
