Trump seeks to link Harris to unauthorized immigration during event in Wisconsin

PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, Wis. (AP) The Republican presidential candidate of the United States, former President Donald Trump, launched a list of grievances against Vice President Kamala Harris during an event on Saturday aimed at linking his opponent Democrat with illegal border crossings.

A day after Harris spoke about immigration at the US-Mexico border, Trump brought up the issue in front of a crowd in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. He blamed Harris for migrants committing crimes after entering the United States without authorization, claiming that the vice president was responsible for “erasing our border.”

“I am going to free Wisconsin from the massive invasion of migrants,” he asserted. We are going to liberate the country.

Trump hopes frustration over unauthorized immigration will translate into electoral support in his favor in Wisconsin and other politically swing states whose votes are decisive. The Republican candidate has said that people who cross the border between the United States and Mexico poison the blood of the country and has promised to organize the largest deportation operation in the history of the United States if he wins the November elections. And polls show that Americans believe Trump would do a better job than Harris on immigration.

Trump moved from one topic to another so quickly that it was sometimes difficult to keep up. He mentioned the two attacks against him and blamed the United States Secret Service for not being able to hold a large outdoor rally and having to hold an event in a smaller, closed space. But he also talked about climate change, Harris’s father, how his beach body was better than President Joe Biden’s, and a fly that buzzed near him.

“I wonder where that fly came from,” he said. Two years ago, I wouldn’t have had a fly up here. Things are changing rapidly. But we can’t take it anymore. We can’t take it anymore.

Trump repeatedly mentioned the event that Harris participated in on Friday in Douglas, Arizona, where he announced an initiative to further restrict asylum applications, beyond Biden’s executive order announced a few months ago. Harris criticized Trump’s handling of the immigration issue at the border during his term and his opposition to a legislative package on the border issue earlier this year, stating that Trump preferred to run away rather than face the problem.

For her part, Harris, at a rally in San Francisco, told her supporters that there were two very different visions for our nation and voters see it every day on the campaign trail.

He added that Trump was a very unserious man. However, the consequences of putting him back in the White House are extremely serious.
