The Spin

Democratic narrative

No active military members should ever be deployed to deal with immigration issues. The military is not supposed to fight on American soil, and under past administrations, including those of Trump and Obama, soldiers were left sitting around doing nothing when sent to the border. Abbott’s actions are illegal and unethical.

Republican narrative

Millions of illegal immigrants could begin spilling over the border as soon as Title 42 ends, and Abbott must use every tool at his disposal to deter them. If the Biden administration won’t do its job, then states need to step up and defend America's borders from this invasion.
