The Spin
Democratic narrative
This stay is a tragedy perpetrated by a judge appointed by the famously immigrant-hating former Pres. Donald Trump. Neither Texas nor any of the other court-shopping, Republican-led states — who have so far failed to prove this policy would cause any harm — should be able to injure those families who are just trying to live in the country they've contributed services and taxes to for more than a decade.
Republican narrative
This attempt by the Biden administration to, without Congressional approval, grant amnesty to hundreds of thousands of people who've entered the US illegally had to be stopped. Polls show that the majority of Americans wisely favor deporting those here illegally rather than giving them a pass. Only corporations looking to take advantage of cheap labor favor Biden's illegal policy.
