Even in the age of social distancing where MAGA Rallies may be a thing of the past, President Trump remains wildly popular.
His event today in Yuma drew a capacity crowd to the airport hanger where he held an event.
Oh, and did I mention people lined up all day in 112 degree temperature?
Yup:
Here's what the lines looked like waiting for Trump in the sweltering heat:
And inside:
Can anyone remind me, has Joe left his basement recently?
In the past 6 months?
Has Joe filed up anymore bigger than a high school gym?
Has Joe EVEN filled up a high school gym?
Watch a short clip:
Here's more on the event, from Bloomberg:
President Donald Trump portrayed Joe Biden as soft on illegal immigration in a speech Tuesday afternoon near the southern U.S. border, reprising a central theme of his 2016 campaign.
Biden’s immigration plan is “the most radical, extreme, reckless, dangerous and deadly immigration plan ever put forward by a major party candidate,” Trump said during his visit to Yuma, Arizona.
Trump is raising the issue again as he trails Biden in national polls and in surveys of voters in key states. The president said Biden’s immigration approach would displace American workers and make communities less safe.
Trump also accepted the endorsement of the National Border Patrol Council, an organization that represents agents and border staff.
“The Biden plan would unleash a flood of illegal immigration like the world has never seen,” Trump said.
Biden campaign officials didn’t immediately return a message left for comment.
Biden wants to immediately reverse Trump’s asylum policies aimed at dramatically restricting migrants seeking humanitarian protection in the U.S. He also advocates cutting off Defense Department money being used to pay for border wall construction.
Biden has said he plans to eliminate for-profit immigration detention centers and assure that the conditions at facilities holding asylum seekers are held to high standards. The centers have come under scrutiny over providing inadequate shelter, health care and nutrition.
Biden supports increasing the number of visas for permanent, employment based-immigration and has called for revamping the visa program for temporary workers to better accommodate them and employers.
Trump attacked Biden’s running mate, Senator Kamala Harris, by linking her to so-called sanctuary cities during her time as a San Francisco district attorney and as California’s attorney general.
Immigration is a key issue in Arizona. Trump won the state in 2016, but according to a RealClear Politics compilation of polls, he currently trails Biden by an average of 2 percentage points.
Biden has drawn criticism from immigration-rights activists over his defense of Obama administration policies, which led to the deportation of 3 million people.
