The Spin
Left narrative
Biden's border policies have drastically cut illegal crossings, with December seeing a record-low number of encounters and arrests. His asylum ban and deportation streamlining have set a new baseline for border control, ironically making it easier for Trump to enforce his proposed immigration policies. Trump's criticisms overlook that Biden's measures have already achieved much of what he aims to do.
Right narrative
Pres. Biden has done anything but enforce immigration laws. New estimates say he allowed over 10M illegals into the country, displacing US workers and altering demographics. This influx has reduced jobs for Americans by nearly a million, using taxpayer money to fund an economy that undermines American culture, work ethic, and religious foundations, all while redistributing wealth from the middle to the top.
