    This propaganda is beneficial because it is helping to try to get rid of the stereotype and bias that all terrorists in the United States are people of color.

    Breaks through stereotypes and racist preconceptions on terrorism.

    It is a misleading meme since all figures look masculine!! So is it only males that cause social problems?! Too biased to be true...

    Still serves to bolster and perpetuate generalisations about "types" of people. The nature of the images carry a range of implications.

    This is really good propaganda because it shows that people trying to get into the country are not that important than having Americans killing mass amounts of people in the walls of America. Not only are they far-right they do not look mentally healthy in the photos. the author of this photo did a great job activating emotions because I felt like it created a sense of fear to change readers' minds about what the actual problem is in America.
