Donald Trump has reignited controversy with his repeated false claims about immigrants, specifically alleging that migrants in Springfield consume pets. At a campaign event for Latin American voters, he doubled down on this narrative while also threatening mass deportations of Haitian immigrants if re-elected. Additionally, he accused Latin American countries of sending criminals and psychiatric patients to the U.S. without evidence.
In contrast, Kamala Harris faced tough questioning on immigration during a Fox News interview. She distanced herself from Joe Biden, asserting her presidency would differ significantly. Meanwhile, Trump has also threatened to use military force in Democratic-run cities to address crime and protests, pledging to deploy federal immigration agents for mass deportations in sanctuary cities.
These divisive policies have prompted backlash from city leaders and progressive prosecutors who are preparing to resist what they see as authoritarian threats. As the election approaches, both Trump and Harris are vying for the critical Latino vote, with nearly 25% of this demographic still undecided. Trump's rhetoric continues to polarize, while Harris seeks to separate her vision from the current administration.
