Former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden are facing electors who have immigration at the top of their mind when they head to the polls in November. Migrant apprehensions at the southern border, building and securing the border wall have been talking points for Trump. Biden has long talked about his effort to get bipartisan legislation that addresses immigration concerns. Both have used their executive power in office on immigration issues.
PBS News’ Lisa Desjardins and Laura Barrón-López give their analysis on how both candidates see their future immigration policy if elected.
