"Biden's Immigration Policies Face Opposition as US Violent Crime Declines"
Former President Donald Trump's alarmist message on immigration, featuring horror movie music and footage of migrants, is resonating beyond his base, with roughly two-thirds of Americans disapproving of President Joe Biden's handling of border security, including about 4 in 10 Democrats, 55% of Black adults, and 73% of Hispanic adults. Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric is finding support among key elements of the Democratic coalition, with some expressing frustration with Biden's immigration policies and backing Trump, while others worry about the impact of the border situation on their communities. Immigration is expected to be a central issue in the upcoming election, with both sides vying to paint the other as wrong on border security.
