Exaggeration/Hyperbole 75%

The absolute claim of 'always' and 'every illegal alien we encounter' represents an extreme overstatement of policy capability and intent — for example: "will always put the safety of the American people first and remove every illegal alien we encounter".

Scapegoating 75%

By emphasizing the subject's national origin ('from Jamaica') alongside the label 'criminal illegal alien,' the framing implies that immigration status and foreign origin are central to the criminal behavior, subtly blaming an out-group for crime — for example: 'a criminal illegal alien from Jamaica'

“a criminal illegal alien from Jamaica”
