The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

Trump's border enforcement is saving countless children from sex trafficking while creating jobs for American workers. By simply enforcing existing laws, the administration has turned off the spigots of child trafficking that flourished under Biden's open border policies. The results speak for themselves — 1.6 million illegal immigrants have left, the American-born workforce has increased by 2.5 million, and homicide has dropped 17% in major cities.

Anti-Trump narrative

Trump's mass deportation program targets immigrants without criminal records while devastating the economy through workforce disruption. Most detained immigrants have no criminal convictions, yet raids are removing essential workers from agriculture and construction industries. Americans are souring on these brutal tactics, and approval for Trump's immigration handling has dropped from 46% to just 35% as the economic damage of this approach becomes clear.
