WASHINGTON (AP) — The video shared by former President Donald Trump features horror movie music and footage of migrants purportedly entering the U.S. from countries including Cameroon, Afghanistan and China. Shots of men with tattoos and videos of violent crime are set against close-ups of people waving and wrapping themselves in American flags.
“They’re coming by the thousands,” Trump says in the video, posted on his social media site. “We will secure our borders. And we will restore sovereignty.”
In his speeches and online posts, Trump has ramped up anti-immigrant rhetoric as he seeks the White House a third time, casting migrants as dangerous criminals “poisoning the blood” of America. Hitting the nation’s deepest fault lines of race and national identity, his messaging often relies on falsehoods about migration. But it resonates with many of his core supporters going back a decade, to when “build the wall” chants began to ring out at his rallies.
President Joe Biden and his allies discuss the border very differently. The Democrat portrays the situation as a policy dispute that Congress can fix and hits Republicans in Washington for backing away from a border security deal after facing criticism from Trump.
But in a potentially worrying sign for Biden, Trump's message appears to be resonating with key elements of the Democratic coalition that Biden will need to win over this November.
Roughly two-thirds of Americans now disapprove of how Biden is handling border security, including about 4 in 10 Democrats, 55% of Black adults and 73% of Hispanic adults, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll conducted in March.

“They’re sending us people who are starving, the same way Blacks are starving in this country. They’re sending us people who want to escape the conditions and come here for a better lifestyle when the ones here are suffering and have been suffering for over 100 years,” Boyce said. “That recipe is a mixture for disaster. It’s a disaster just waiting to happen.”
“Alarmist message”
Nope. No bias there.
The authors of this trip say that pointing to reality is “Alarmist.” Perhaps the two authors of this article would enjoy welcoming some “newcomers” to their homes.
” Anti-immigrant rhetoric “ ?
Hasn’t Yahoo gotten the DNCCP directive? Illegal aliens are now to be referred to as “ newcomers “.
Biden taking office was the window of opportunity for the elected democrats. They are well aware of Trump’s intentions regarding the wall so they know their window of opportunity is limited unless they steal the next one. They’re not taking the chance.
America misses $1.80/gal, no inflation, wars, and border invasion.
Apparently the media is failing in its task to hide the violent crimes being committed by illegals. One thing is for sure, the media is likely only disclosing what’s the tip of the iceberg.
Gaslighting only works when people cant see it with their own eyes....when they need to trust. Now these shithole sanctuary states cannot hide the damage this kind of nonsense results in. The democratic voting public can see it-and know the truth- even if CNN its just Trump hyperbolizing.
“the same way Blacks are starving in this country.”
Where are the starving Blacks in this country? I didn’t know there were any. I would like to help them.
Most of them look like they need to go on a diet.
How about concentrating on pure IQ needed to invent?
Want to trust a 75 IQ to operate on you or one of yours?
Trump also should talk about the extensive costs the illegal immigrants are placing on the American society.
I know I miss all those things.
Yup.
I keep seeing concrete worn down by sheer use. We all know about wear and tear.
Exactly. Doesn’t look as though very many Americans of any race are missing many meals.
Where are the starving Blacks in this country? I didn't know there were any. I would like to help them.
They are hiding in plain sight.
They masquerade as 300 lb women waddling through the food deserts in lulu lemon yoga pants waving EBT cards and moaning "feed me , feed me" . It's a heart retching sight
Here’s what is going on, illegals are flooding every town and city across America. As such, illegals are committing all kinds of crimes, from raping minors ( i.e. Boston weekend ICE roundup) to murdering joggers, killing people by dui accidents, in short illegals are causing havoc in America and anyone who thinks is upset with the root cause, which is BIDEN.
