The Spin
Republican narrative
For three years Pres. Biden has worked to undermine all progress Trump had made towards securing the border, and now he is trying to salvage the mess he single-handedly created. Democrats and their friends in the corporate media have been slandering Trump for nearly a decade over his position on border security, and now all of America is paying the price for the left's open borders agenda. Trump has been vindicated for prioritizing border security, and the Americans know that he is the only one who can clean up Biden's disaster.
Democratic narrative
Donald Trump's campaign is irate that Pres. Biden is taking action, advocating for a compassionate and common-sense solution to the Southern border situation. A bipartisan group of Senators crafted a bill that would allow Biden to take swift action if illegal crossings reached an untenable level. Yet, the GOP killed the legislation so as to help Trump score political points. Biden, Congressional Democrats, and some reasonable Republicans are looking for solutions to the migrant problem, while Trump and his cronies just keep complaining.
