What happened
Trump introduced the label at a Waterford Township, Michigan, rally on February 17, 2024: 'we will call it from now on, Biden migrant crime.' After Harris replaced Biden as the nominee he said in Charlotte (July 24, 2024) that he might rename it after her. Researchers cited by AP and Reuters have found that immigrants in the U.S. illegally do not commit crimes at higher rates than U.S.-born citizens.
