The Spin
Republican narrative
Trump's move targets sanctuary cities that harbor criminals and undermine American workers. These Democratic strongholds use illegal immigrants to expand their voter base and cheat in elections while robbing hardworking citizens of jobs and benefits. The administration must focus resources on crime-ridden inner cities where radical Democrats protect lawbreakers over law-abiding Americans.
Democratic narrative
The administration's indiscriminate raids create fear in Latino communities and destabilize local economies that depend on immigrant labor. People shouldn't have to show papers in public in America, and targeting entire industries hurts farmers and businesses who rely on longtime workers. The military deployment against peaceful protesters represents federal overreach that violates state authority.
