Trump Zeroes In On Immigration As Midterms Near

With the midterm elections drawing close, President Donald Trump is putting immigration at the center of his final campaign push for Republican candidates, even as he also pitches a $5,000 "Trump Dividend" for every adult U. S. citizen should the GOP keep both chambers of Congress. On Wednesday he was scheduled to appear at a South Carolina event in Pendleton, where the administration says he will highlight 17 straight months without a release at the southern border and more than 3 million illegal aliens leaving the country, according to Daily Caller.

The White House issued a statement on its enforcement record Tuesday, and Trump has used Truth Social since Monday to tie unrest in France to open-border policies. He also argues that a Democratic return to power would reopen the border. Republican National Committee press secretary Natalie Baldassarre said the party is united behind the message and that it resonates with the base.

Documents obtained by the Daily Caller show Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested five people tied to South Carolina with records involving gangs, weapons, domestic violence and trafficking-related offenses. They include Omar Roberto Martinez, Jose Manuel Munoz Ramos, Marvin Jonathan Ignacio Lopez-Portuguez, Elias Izquiero Manuel and Enrique Balcazar-Arias.
