Trump: A blue wave ‘means crime’ and ‘open borders’

Published August 20, 2018 8:21pm ET



President Trump said Monday afternoon that if Democrats take control of Congress, it will lead to an onslaught of crime.

“We’re going to do very well in the midterms, and this is one of the very big reasons,” the president said at a “Support ICE” event at the White House Monday afternoon. “The fact is, people respect law and order. And I think we’re going to have much more of a red wave than a phony blue wave. Blue wave means crime, it means open borders.”
