Parents’ 'Save‑the‑Children' Migrant Frame

Local protest rhetoric often features parents (especially mothers) using child‑safety language to justify opposition to migrant housing. That framing converts private fear into a public moral claim that outsiders (migrants) threaten children, making it emotionally potent and politically exploitable. — If widespread, this frame normalizes threat narratives that can turn local disputes over accommodation into durable political coalitions and justification for restrictive measures.
