Trump Brings Immigration Message to Arizona

“After weeks of criticism — and rising poll numbers — in the wake of controversial remarks on immigration, Donald Trump brings his spotlight to Arizona, a longtime hotbed of border security debate,” The Hill reports.

Trump will be “joining forces at a rally Saturday afternoon with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, an immigration hardliner who has said illegal aliens in his jurisdiction can expect a ‘free ride to jail.’ The event shows Trump has no intent of softening his rhetoric, which is unnerving Republicans even as the outspoken billionaire has gone sky-high in the polls.”

The Arizona Republic notes Trump repeated his vow to construct a border wall: “I build the best walls, believe me, for the lowest cost, but Mexico is going to pay for it. And you’re going to start treating us with respect.”
