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.

They are so desperate.
Obvious typo. I didn't parse the author from the date correctly. Have the mod delete the thread if you think it's a big deal.
The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952, revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States. That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today.
Among the many issues it covers, one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by “force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.”
That conflicts with the leftist "protected class" establishments allowing an alien into the USA and affording the alien various rights and privileges of U.S. citizenship - BEFORE determining the alien's record and intentions, in both the following Democrat administrative dictates:
"Obama’s U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued an order in 2016 adding criminals to the protected class"
And:
Oh so Trump amplifies falsehoods? LOOK WHO’S TALKING!
You keep on posting. This site is about discussion and about staying current with what is going on and being said, good and bad.
I can’t help but notice that the word “illegal” never is used to modify “immigrant.” It’s as if the MSM assumes legal immigrants and illegal immigrants are one and the same.
And people should believe the MSM, why again?
I SOMETIMES WONDER WHAT IT IS LIKE TO WORK AT SUCH PLACES-—
ESPECIALLY IF YOU KNOWN THEY ARE LYING
Cue the Iraqi spox guy.
Let the Washington Post writers house them then
murderers and rapists don’t have ‘bad genes’??? - they definitely don’t have much in the way of ‘good genes’ that’s for sure
“as polls show his edge on economic issues fading. “
There seems to be a lot of references to the word “landslide” in the news lately.
That must mean his edge is really fading fast.
Nah, she’s a combination of stupid and evil.
And don't forget: Intoxicated.

Their idea of a “falsehood” is along the lines of “Trump said all immigrants are criminals, but we found one who isn’t.” Either that or “Trump claimed that there were 100,000 people at his rally, but our estimate is that it was approximately 75,000.
Oh, well, then, by all means we should vote for Kamala! It's like if someone set your house on fire, then poured a glass of water over part of the flames, then wanted credit for reducing the blaze.
More good news! War is peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength.
Exactly.
Round up a bunch of wetbacks and dump them in her neighborhood.
