Vague positive framing of 'fixing' the system for 'Americans' without specifics.
“we are fixing our immigration system so it works for Americans”
Appeal to Prejudice 60%
Implies immigrants as a group may be a public burden and hold values incompatible with the nation, playing on distrust of immigrants.
“each immigrant would not be a public burden and does not have values incompatible with our Republic”
Scapegoating 40%
Blames foreign labor and visa use for American workers being replaced, framing a complex labor issue around a group.
