The Spin

Republican narrative

This ban is essential for protecting American lives from foreign terrorists and criminals who exploit America's immigration system. The Taliban control countries like Afghanistan, Iran sponsors terrorism globally, and many of these nations have unacceptably high visa overstay rates. The Boulder attack proves that inadequate vetting puts Americans at risk.

The White House

Democratic narrative

This discriminatory policy targets people based on their nationality and religion, harming America's economy and global standing while contradicting its values of welcoming immigrants. The ban punishes entire populations for their governments' actions and will particularly hurt Afghans who assisted U.S. forces during the war.
