President Donald Trump on Thursday seized on a new migrant caravan approaching the US to frame the midterm elections as a fight over border security while blaming Democrats, without evidence, of supporting the influx.
“It’s going to be an election of the caravan,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Missoula, Montana. “You know what I’m talking about.”
In an extended riff about illegal immigration and the caravan, Trump told the crowd that Democrats were banking on the caravan to arrive before Election Day so they could vote for Democrats — even though as asylum-seekers, they wouldn’t be citizens and therefore would not be able to vote in the congressional elections.
