Vice President\u00a0Kamala Harris<\/strong>\u00a0on Wednesday criticized Republican\u00a0Donald Trump<\/strong>\u00a0\u2018s promise to deport millions of people who are in the United States illegally, questioning whether he would rely on massive raids and detention camps to carry it out.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, told the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute\u2019s annual leadership conference that the nation can find both a pathway to citizenship for those who want to come and at the same time secure the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can do both, and we must do both,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump, for his part, leaned heavily on his alarmist message on immigration as he held a rally in Uniondale on New York\u2019s Long Island, focusing the bulk of his remarks on the subject. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just destroying the fabric of life in our country. And we\u2019re not going to take it any longer. And you got to get rid of these people. Give me a shot,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both candidates took a break Wednesday from campaigning in the toss-up states that will likely decide the Nov. 5 election. The former president drew a large, roaring crowd, giving him a chance to show deep support even in a blue state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He ripped into Democratic leadership in New York City and state, blaming them for homeless people living in what he called \u201chorrible, disgusting, dangerous, filthy encampments,\u201d and even the conditions on the New York City subway, which he called \u201csqualid and unsafe\u201d and promised to renovate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat the hell do you have to lose?\u201d he said in asking for their votes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before heading out to the suburbs, Trump stopped at a Bitcoin cafe in New York City. Trump has recently embraced cryptocurrency and on Monday night helped launch his family\u2019s new cryptocurrency venture.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris harked back to the Trump administration\u2019s immigration policies as she bid for Hispanic support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile we fight to move our nation forward to a brighter future, Donald Trump and his extremist allies will keep trying to pull us backward,\u201d Harris said. \u201cWe all remember what they did to tear families apart, and now they have pledged to carry out the largest deportation, a mass deportation, in American history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cImagine what that would look like and what that would be? How\u2019s that going to happen? Massive raids? Massive detention camps? What are they talking about?\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump has promised to carry out \u201cthe largest deportation operation in the history of our country\u201d if he\u2019s elected in November. He has offered no details on how such an operation would work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump has focused on immigration as a top campaign issue and made it a key focus of his remarks Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook at what\u2019s happening,\u201d he told his crowd in New York. \u201cBusinesses that are fleeing, money draining out of your state and hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants sucking your public resources dry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump said he plans in the next two weeks to visit Springfield, Ohio, which has been the center of false accusations<\/strong> from the former president and his running mate JD Vance that members of the city\u2019s Haitian community are abducting and eating cats and dogs. Trump also said he plans to visit Aurora, Colorado,<\/strong> where he says a Venezuelan street gang with a small presence in the city has taken over a rundown apartment complex. Aurora police say that\u2019s not the case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has an advantage over Harris in opinion polling on whom voters trust to better handle the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Teamsters labor union<\/strong> declined to endorse either Harris or Trump, saying neither had sufficient support from its 1.3 million members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris had met Monday with a panel of Teamsters, having long courted organized labor and made support for the middle class her central policy goal. Trump met earlier in the year with a panel of Teamsters, and its president, Sean O\u2019Brien, spoke at his invitation at the Republican National Convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s rally Wednesday night was in Uniondale, an area that could be key to Republicans maintaining control of the House<\/strong>. His party is trying to protect 18 Republicans in Democratic-heavy congressional districts that Joe Biden carried in 2020, particularly in coastal New York and California, and going on offense to challenge Democrats elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long Island in particular features one of the most closely watched races<\/strong>, between first-term Republican Rep. Anthony D\u2019Esposito and Democrat Laura Gillen. D\u2019Esposito is a former New York Police detective who won in 2022 in a district that Biden won by about 15 percentage points in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump posted Tuesday on his Truth Social platform that the GOP has \u201ca real chance of winning\u201d New York \u201cfor the first time in many decades.\u201d In that same post, Trump also pledged that he would \u201cget SALT back,\u201d suggesting he would eliminate a cap on state and local tax deductions that were part of tax cut legislation he signed into law in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The so-called SALT cap has led to bigger tax bills<\/strong> for many residents of New York, New Jersey, California and other high-cost, high-tax states, and is an important campaign issue in those states, particularly among those New York Republicans serving in districts Biden won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris\u2019 speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute marked the second day in a row that she has tended to constituencies considered key to the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, she sat for an interview in Philadelphia<\/strong> with members of the National Association of Black Journalists. She decried Trump\u2019s rhetoric and said voters should make sure he \u201ccan\u2019t have that microphone again.\u201d She has trips planned later in the week to Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump is attempting to return to his campaign cadence after Sunday\u2019s apparent assassination attempt<\/strong> as he golfed in Florida. On Tuesday, he traveled to Flint, Michigan<\/strong>, and has not appeared to alter plans for upcoming trips to the nation\u2019s capital and North Carolina later in the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance<\/strong>, held an event in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
