The Spin
Democratic narrative
Republicans have now made clear that all their talk about securing the border is just an attempt to weaponize the issue for election purposes. Americans must be fully aware that Donald Trump and his fellow MAGA Republicans, rather than Joe Biden, are to blame for the failure of the toughest and fairest immigration reform proposed in decades.
Republican narrative
Let alone that the so-called border deal would allocate three times more money for Ukraine than for the southern border, provisions allegedly intended to bolster security in the border were completely unacceptable. This fake border reform would, in fact, make the situation worse as Biden's lenient policies would become law.
