Trump To Contrast Europe’s Immigration Crisis With US Successes In Primetime Iowa Speech

President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a Thursday evening rally in Sioux City, Iowa, where, according to a copy of his prepared remarks obtained by Daily Wire, he will present Europe's migration troubles as a warning for American voters in the coming midterms. He plans to cite recent rioting and vandalism in France and to call on French President Emmanuel Macron to close the country's border.

The remarks describe France as being overrun by migrants and blame left-leaning globalist politicians. Trump will say the United States stands with Europe but could leave if it fails to find its way. A White House official says he will also stress that no illegal immigrants have been freed in 17 months and that over 3 million have left the country. Spokeswoman Lauren Bis credited the president with securing the border.

Iowa Republicans are working to hold Joni Ernst's Senate seat, three House seats that could be vulnerable, and the governor's office. Ashley Hinson, who is running for Ernst's seat, will appear with Trump. The White House also pointed to four recent ICE arrests in Iowa of immigrants with criminal records, among them Amilcar Perz-Morfin and Sidney Pino-Becquer.
