The Spin

Republican narrative

It is no surprise that Americans have turned against the idea of rampant immigration after the Biden admin. has reversed Trump's merit-based immigration reform. The Southern Border crisis is now a full-on national security threat, and Democratic Party immigration policies are an unpopular disaster.

Democratic narrative

The poll's results reflect years of Republicans promoting anti-immigrant rhetoric targeting Latinos and Hispanics, deeming them criminals, and their claims that there is an "invasion" going on at the southern border. These are xenophobic dog whistles, and the GOP must be held accountable for its toxic immigration rhetoric.
