The ads promised prosperity abroad that contradicted restrictive immigration policy

Evidence

These ads produce an iteration of diversity patriotism gone global. In this global version, the U.S. is represented to Muslims abroad as the land of opportunity and freedom, despite post-9/11 policies that have restricted Arab and Muslim immigration to the United States. The ads aim to demonstrate to Muslims abroad that Muslims in the United States live prosperous lives free of harassment and therefore that there is no need to hate the United States. — Evelyn Alsultany, Arabs and Muslims in the Media, 1265
