At a recent event held last Thursday, the forefront runner for the GOP, Donald Trump, journeyed to Phoenix, Arizona. He took to the stage to rally his supporters, an enthusiastic crowd so vast that it filled ‘Chase The Vote’, an event set up by Turning Point USA. Trump, known for his charisma and knack of connecting with individuals, drew thousands to cheer for him.
The core of his speech maintained a stark focus on the concerning state of our borders under the Biden administration. Trump unapologetically laid out his accusation that Biden’s radical approach to open borders is nothing less than an assault on the economy, impacting most significantly the lives of those Americans who placed their faith in the democratic process.
Driving his point home, Trump artfully unveiled the fact that the so-called ‘Biden Border Invasion’ is directly hitting the working-class communities in America, predominantly affecting ethnic minority groups. ‘Economic warfare is being waged against African American and Hispanic American families and their unions under the guise of progressive immigration policies,’ he proclaimed, in a tone that resonated with the concern of many in our country.
He went on to illustrate his point further, addressing how immigrant populations are unintentionally intruding upon job opportunities for African Americans and the Hispanic community. ‘These new arrivals are impacting employment opportunities of our own citizens. This is causing significant devastation, with unions bearing the brunt,’ he asserted.

Trump stressed that this overflow of unchecked immigration is by no means an accidental byproduct, but rather a methodical dismantling of the country’s sovereignty and its border fortitude. He also expanded upon how the influx of illegal immigrants is contributing to the spike in housing costs, as we grapple with the need to accommodate millions of fresh faces in our homeland.
‘Everything Biden does, it seems, is ultimately planned to benefit illegal aliens, cartels, and the advocates of lax border control, while sidelining the rights and needs of American citizens,’ rumbles Trump behind the podium. He went on to make a striking commitment to prioritize the interests of African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and indeed all Americans first, emphasizing his unfettered loyalty to the people of this great nation.
His impassioned tirade did not spare the debate on border policies. He openly chastised Biden for rashly undoing his border control policies, despite the extensive negotiations that had previously taken place with Mexico’s leadership. His remarks expressed frustration towards Biden’s dismissal of policies without fully considering their impact on American workers and society at large.
He also took issue with Biden rescinding Title 42, a decision that arguably kick-started the entrance of countless migrants into the country. Trump captured the incredulity of many when he questioned the sensibility of permitting the influx of a multitude of young, able-bodied men across the borders, including individuals of suspicious origin.
On the topic of policy reversal, Trump took an accusatory tone, alleging that Biden deliberately ‘tore apart’ the Remain in Mexico policy, which was crucial in controlling the flow of immigrants. Emphasizing the difficulty of implementing such an agreement, he conveyed his disdain towards the swift dismissal of his painstakingly curated plan.
TRUMP explains how Joe Biden rescinded all of his hard won gains securing the border:
“He knowingly ripped up the Remain in Mexico policy, which was not easy to get…
“He terminated my safeguard agreements. Big deal. The safe third is a big deal. He rescinded title 42.”

The ardent rally held in the heartland of Arizona wasn’t just a meeting with followers, but also a strategic move to awaken the political consciousness of voters in this significant swing state. Arizona, whose margins in the 2020 election were razor-thin, is seen instrumental in Trump’s drive back to the White House.
Trump’s visit is thus meant to rejuvenate support and spur positive momentum among his base. Considering Biden secured a marginal victory in 2020, the state’s strategic importance in the quest for returning Trump to the Oval Office should not be understated.
According to polling averages from Five Thirty Eight, Trump currently holds a promising lead over Biden. In this high-stakes game of political chess, Trump is leading by 4.5 percent as public support swings in his favor. The data further reveals how this battle isn’t just dual, with independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. entering the scene with a respectable 8.8 percent.
Thus, the gathering served multiple purposes, providing a platform for the GOP frontrunner to voice his concerns, rally his supporters, and set the stage for the high-stake election battle soon to commence. The momentum from this event certainly illuminates the hope that conservatism may regain its rightful place, with its standard-bearer leading from the front.
