At an appearance in Virginia a short time later, Trump seized on a racist conspiracy narrative that Democrats are promoting illegal immigration to weaken the influence of white voters. “They’re trying to oblige them to vote in the next election,” he said of Democrats and migrants.
Biden’s campaign spokesman Ammar Moussa said of the former president’s comments: “Once once more, Trump is trying to distract the American people from the fact that he overturned the fairest and toughest border security law in decades because he believed it would help his campaign. Sad .”
