Trump amplifies falsehoods about immigrants in closing appeal
Washington Post ^ | 11, 2024 at 10:01 a.m. EDT | Sabrina Rodriguez October

Donald Trump is leaning into a nativist, anti-immigrant message in the final stage of his third presidential campaign, advancing a closing argument centered on fearmongering, falsehoods and stereotypes about migrants as polls show his edge on economic issues fading.

In recent days, the former president has suggested that “bad genes” are to blame for people in the country illegally who have committed murders, reprised his warnings about a migrant “invasion” and suggested Vice President Kamala Harris’s handling of border issues shows she is “mentally impaired.”

He will campaign in Aurora, Colo., on Friday, after promoting false claims about Venezuelan gangs taking over residential buildings in the Denver suburb.

Illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border are down significantly this year after the Biden administration imposed sweeping restrictions on asylum, and most experts say that immigration has boosted the U.S. economy. But polls show Trump has a clear advantage on the issues of immigration and border security, and the former president and his allies are wagering that his false and exaggerated claims about migrants will excite his base and propel him to victory.

Trump’s critics are alarmed by his tactics and warn that they stoke racial divisions and fear of migrants.

Why does the link refer to The New York Times? This is all from The Washington Post. Two equally worthless rags, but still.

Just a question, why do you post every single negative article about Trump from the NY Times and the Wash Post?

Do you get paid to post this stuff?

Illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border are down significantly this year…
Note the use of the term illegal, when using the Ap provision they are no longer “illegal “. Too cute by half. They think we’re stupid.

Rush Limbaugh spent most of his shows discussing articles from NYT, WaPo, LAT, etc. I miss Rush’s insight and get bored reading things I agree with all the time, so I post articles that Rush probably would have discussed. If you don’t like them, don’t click on them. Lots of people are interested in them, judging from the number of comments the articles get.

Not just dumb, they’re outright liars. The NYT is helping Democrats spread whatever lies they need to get elected.
