    The Spin

    Democratic narrative

    It's heartbreaking that this inhumane wall caused so much damage while doing nothing to address illegal immigration and smuggling at the border. Continuing to build the wall would make this disaster even worse. That’s why Trump, who has vowed to complete the wall if he returns to the White House, must never get that chance. This has done enough damage to vulnerable people and the environment.

    Republican narrative

    If the southern border wall deterred any illegal immigration or foiled a cartel’s plans, it was worth putting up as much as was built – even if there were some minor environmental impacts. Biden’s pause on construction is making things worse while making the US less safe. The wall should be completed for urgent national security reasons.
