His trip to the Arizona border late Thursday morning is part of a weeklong strategy by his campaign to keep voters focused on him during the four-day Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The Trump campaign stated, \u201cAmerica is facing our country\u2019s worst border crisis because of border Czar Kamala Harris.\u201d They highlighted issues such as nearly 10 million illegal crossings over the past three and a half years, at least 99 individuals on terrorist watch lists being released into the U.S., and an increase in crime linked to illegal immigration, asserting that there seems to be no resolution for Harris&#8217;s border crisis. <\/p>\n<p>Trump will arrive in Cochise County, located along the Arizona-New Mexico border and near the U.S.-Mexico boundary. He is expected to be joined by Republican officials like Sheriff Mark Dannels and will likely address topics including crimes committed by undocumented immigrants, job shortages for Americans, and the fentanyl epidemic\u2014now recognized as the leading cause of death among U.S. adults aged 18-45. Concurrently, Trump&#8217;s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), will hold an immigration event in Valdosta, Georgia at 1 p.m. Immigration has been a top concern among voters during this year&#8217;s Republican presidential primary and remains significant heading into the general election.<\/p>\n<p>Although recent months have seen a sharp decline in border crossings from record highs last December, Republicans believe they can leverage this issue against Harris due to her previous left-leaning stance during her 2020 presidential campaign; she has since moderated her views. The Arizona event will not be open to public attendance but will be livestreamed by various media outlets starting at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2655,"featured_media":2328952,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/donald-trump-visits-border.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[35231,19752,4021,5894,3634],"class_list":["post-2328951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-border-visit","tag-convention","tag-harris","tag-politics","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/donald-trump-visits-border.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2328951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2655"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2328951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2328951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2328952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2328951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2328951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2328951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
