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.

How is reporting the facts plugging for someone? Average US fuel prices fuel went as low as $2 a gallon in January 2015 and $1.72 in 2016. Just the facts ma’am. Just the facts.
You’re a Trump-bashing Obama shill, joesDemocratcucks.
The truth is always alarming to the rodent controlled media.
So you can articulate a response. Just hurl insults. Cool.
And your tagline "For 2,000 years Christians have been warning of the Anti-Christ. Now they buy Bibles from him."
Never-Trumpers have a voice here. DTS sufferers have other forums for their recovery meetings.
Am I implying that Trump had anything to do with the pandemic? No. Just pointing out the conditions necessary for certain events to occur as they did.
Our highest production was the last 4 mos Trump was President so that is false. Your handler needs better information. Production fell the month Magoo was sworne in.
Why does it bother you Trump had prices down to $1.80/gal, no inflation, wars or invasions?
Output has been higher recently than ever before. Even higher during Trump. You better have your optometrist check your prescription. Or select reading material that’s factual and up to date.
It took three years for the industry to overcome the Barak regime regs. If Trump were President oil production would be 50-75% higher and gas would be under $1.80.
Nice try comrade but have seen this talking point all over the net.
Big word. IF. Remember, we became a net exporter under Barack. Gas averaged 1.71 per gallon in Feb. 2016. They floated over $2.00 after that except during covid. Plus Trump took oil off the table from being extracted from Pensacola to Virginia.
Trump talking about illegals coming over by the thousands, when they’re coming over by the millions, is alarmism. Trump is Hitler and a threat to democracy isn’t. Welcome to 1984.
Your Messiah had the leftover oil friendly regs and leases from GW, he closed those and prices climbed back up and became importers from the ME.
If you remember Obama closed the Gulf the first chance he got and began importing from Communist Brazil. Not sure if he is the example we want to follow although you may Comrade.
Wrong. The output was from private lands with shale oil. Thats where most of the increase came from.
We’ll all note that you didn’t deny that you’re a Trump-bashing Obama shill.
If you read his past posting history - yes, that is EXACTLY what he's implying.
Gotta keep you on your toes. The do notice your responses are generally void of content to refute my information.
bray & MikelTackNailer - note how hard that the Obama shill "cucks" is shilling for Odiousbama and The Tater.
Trump did his best to reverse the creeping socialist schemes the ineligible Kenyan put in place but his going along with Deep Stater appointments suggested by backstabbers illustrated how corrupt and lowly the D.C. establishment has become, taking full advantage of his self-confidence and lack of factual knowledge on just how evil these people are.
Hopefully this time around he's savvy and knows the weasels for who they are. I just pray he gets there alive and not ripped off again.
You really do love to cherry pick info to make demorats look better than Trump.
LMAO...So, what was the average price of gas under Obama’s reign of terror vs the average gas price under the best president the US has ever soon? Yep...Trump.
Step up big boy.
During Feb if 2018 it was lower than Trumps. Remember, we became net exporters under Obama. And the low prices didn’t come with a pandemic. And until COVID, prices under Trump were slowly escalating. Those 1.80 prices were during covid. When demand plummeted as well as output not only in the states but globally.
