As President Donald Trump heads to South Carolina for a Thursday campaign rally, the White House is highlighting five illegal immigrants apprehended in the state due to the administration’s border policy.
“Never forget what the Democrats did to our country,” White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis told the Daily Signal. “They allowed millions of unvetted illegal aliens—many of whom were murderers, pedophiles, gang members, and suspected terrorists—to pour into our communities. On day one, President Trump secured the border and stopped the invasion of our country.”
Trump is rallying in Rock Hill on behalf of Sen. Darline Graham, locked in a tight race with her Democrat opponent Dr. Annie Andrews. With only a few days remaining until Nov. 3, both candidates are tied at 48%, according to a New York Times/Siena poll.
