During Tuesday’s ABC News debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump again made false claims about immigrants. Trump repeated his assertion that over 20 million undocumented immigrants have entered the United States, causing a surge in crime and terror. He also reiterated his unfounded claims from weeks prior, alleging that immigrants are stealing and consuming cats and dogs.
Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric has escalated in the weeks leading up to the debate, raising concerns among many. His claims have been widely debunked by fact-checkers and experts.
The debate comes as the country grapples with a contentious election season. Trump’s continued reliance on inflammatory rhetoric is expected to remain a key theme in the campaign.
