President Trump seeks boost in Arizona by focusing on immigration

August 19, 2020

Brett Samuels on The Hill reports that President Trump yesterday placed immigration front and center in a campaign speech in Yuma, Arizona, attacking Democratic nominee Joe Biden‘s immigration positions “and betting that his intense focus on the issue will help him carry a key swing state in November.”

“Biden’s plan is the most radical, extreme, reckless, dangerous and deadly immigration plan ever put forward by a major-party candidate. It must be defeated and it will be defeated on Nov. 3,” Trump told a raucous crowd of supporters in Yuma.

President Trump touted his administration’s immigration enforcement record. “He argued that his intense focus on criminal activity and crackdown on the flow of immigrants into the U.S. have improved safety and the economy.”
