The Spin
Republican narrative
The revocation of these migrants' paroles is a continuation of the Trump administration's immigration policies, which have succeeded in discouraging illegal border crossings since the president's new term began. Trump is keeping his campaign promise and America is safer because of his dedication to ridding it of criminals who don't belong in the United States.
Democratic narrative
This abrupt and inhumane policy reversal will disrupt the lives of nearly a million people who followed legal pathways to enter the country. This attack on migrants will separate families and destabilize communities that depend on immigrant workers. This move creates unnecessary humanitarian concerns and reinforces Trump's devotion to xenophobic and cruel practices.
