"In the duel of cross-accusations at the heart of the government shutdown that has paralyzed the United States since October 1 and shows no clear end in sight, each side of the political debate fires from the position they find most comfortable. Democrats present themselves as defenders of affordable health care, while Republicans portray them as protectors of undocumented immigrants when they falsely claim that the federal gridlock is due to the Democrats' insistence on spending $20 billion on healthcare for migrants."
"Polls in recent months show that the majority of Americans disapprove of his policies, from family separations to mass raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This week, The New York Times published a comprehensive survey of the Trump presidency conducted in late September. Among various points ranging from the economy and tariffs to the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, 51% of respondents say the immigration actions have gone too far, 35% that they have been adequate, and 12% that they have not been enough."
Since October 1, a federal government shutdown has paralyzed the United States amid mutual accusations over priorities. Democrats emphasize defense of affordable health care while Republicans claim Democrats prioritize undocumented migrants, alleging a $20 billion demand for migrant healthcare. Democrats often accept negative immigration framing and concede public debate ground. President Trump's immigration measures have lost popularity during his return to the White House, with recent polls showing majority disapproval for actions such as family separations and ICE raids. Surveys find 51% saying immigration actions went too far, while Democrats lag in perceived competence on immigration compared with Republicans.
