"Phillip said the ads and memes were misleading, though, when you see the people who work for government agencies like the Department of Homeland Security. When I look at the people who work at DHS, they are actually all races and genders and all kinds of stuff, Phillip said. She continued: The people who are carrying out the immigration agenda, they're Black, they're latino, they're asian, they're women. And yet the imagery is showing something entirely different. That's when Cross jumped in to object."
"Abby, I don't celebrate diverse people carrying out a racist policy. Phillip started to respond, but Cross continued: But I think they're taking those jobs, Abby, not because they have an ideological relationship to them probably because they are desperate for money and work. The CNN star said that is maybe the case, but that her main point was they're trying to gear recruitment at DHS toward White people, it seems, and that's not actually what it looks like."
Abby Phillip led a CNN roundtable showing Trump administration memes and DHS recruitment ads, noting the imagery mostly features White men. Phillip observed that DHS employees include people of many races, genders, and backgrounds and that the officers carrying out the immigration agenda include Black, Latino, Asian people and women, which contrasts with the recruitment imagery. Tiffany Cross rejected celebrating diverse people enforcing what she called racist policy, arguing many non-white government employees take those jobs out of economic desperation rather than ideological alignment. Cross compared the memes and ads to 1950s Stalinist propaganda and urged viewers to verify the similarity.
