NEW YORK CITY - As immigration continues to be a salient issue ahead of the 2024 general elections, Republicans have intensified their rhetoric against newcomers. But despite their campaign messaging— the most intense of which is being shared by presumptive GOP candidate Donald Trump— one particular term seems to be dividing the party, according to The Hill.
The term "invasion" has become a prime example of Republican rhetoric ahead of November, but its use as a descriptor for the current migrant crisis has been panned as inaccurate and incendiary, even by groups including the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) and NumbersUS and the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).
