Diving Deeper:

This week in a pair of appearances in Michigan and South Carolina, former President Donald Trump introduced a term to the American political lexicon: "migrant crime." This term, as defined by Trump, refers to crimes allegedly committed by migrants, particularly those involving attacks on law enforcement personnel. Emphasizing the supposed severity of this issue, Trump claimed, “We have a new category of crime in our country. It’s called migrant crime, and it’s taking over America.”

Further bolstering his stance on strict border control, Trump reminisced about his tenure, claiming, "I had the safest border in recorded history." This statement aligns with his long-standing emphasis on border security and immigration control, which were central themes of his presidency.
