The president is once again ramping up anti-illegal immigration rhetoric. Utah lawmakers make it clear the medical marijuana compromise bill is not sacrosanct. A fundraising effort on behalf of Rep. Mia Love by the Republican Party of the Virgin Islands is a scam.
Happy Thursday. President Donald Trump has been cajoling Republicans to make immigration the centerpiece of their midterm campaigns and he’s ramped up his own rhetoric, threatening to call out the military to close — not just secure — the U.S.-Mexican border amid news of an immigrant caravan headed north from Honduras. In a tweet storm, Trump vowed to call out the troops, stop foreign aid payments and threatened to junk a new trade deal with Mexico if the caravan isn’t stopped.
