The Spin
Republican narrative
The Biden administration is failing the country as terrorist groups take full advantage of the porous southern border. While the White House has attempted to hide the extent of the problem, arrests mount for terror suspects who entered the country illegally. It's pressing to secure the border and stop illegal immigration before this leads to deadly and tragic consequences.
Democratic narrative
The connection between terrorism and illegal migration is a red herring, as the numbers show that it is a negligible concern. Groups such as IS have made domestic "lone-wolf" attacks their calling card and do not prioritize smuggling in operatives illegally. The real terror threat comes from domestic extremist groups, not desperate people fleeing to America.
