Thursday's CNN debate highlighted a distressing night for immigrant rights activists, with both candidates emphasizing restrictions and militarization at the border, casting immigrants as dangerous.
Trump fueled moral panic on immigration while Biden lacked a substantial response, contributing to a narrative of fear and violence against immigrants. Both parties are increasingly adopting anti-immigration rhetoric.
Trump boasted about having the 'safest border in history' during his administration and criticized the current state of the border, emphasizing the dangers and deaths associated with immigration.
Biden highlighted a single instance of an al-Qaeda member entering the country to commit violence under Trump's administration, drawing attention to security concerns rather than addressing broader immigration issues.
