This article is about the relation between the freedom of the press and the security threats that occidental democracies, both European and American, are facing now. The refugee crisis in Europe has raised the sensitivity on immigration issues positively and negatively. Immigration is a challenge for societies, so the purpose of this study is to analyze the US current narrative on immigration based on how the newspapers from United States represented terrorism and contributed to shape the creation of stereotypical ideas about immigration groups and how that could have affected politics (Trump election). All this aims to contribute to a growing body of literature on language used by the media and its influence over the consumer media-voters.
