US election issues: Immigration
Recent opinion polls have shown that voters care the most about the economy. But immigration remains a hot topic, with supporters of both Trump and Harris ranking it among the top 10 issues for this election.
During his campaign, Trump has blamed the Joe Biden administration for record migration numbers across the Mexico border. Is that really the case?
Philadelphia prosecutor aims to halt Musk’s $1-million-a-day ‘illegal lottery’
The district attorney of Philadelphia, Larry Krasner, has filed a lawsuit seeking to stop Elon Musk and his pro-Trump political action committee (or “PAC”) giving away $1 million each day to a random registered voter in a US swing state.
He described the action as an “illegal lottery” and also said it might interfere with the integrity of the elections.
Philadelphia is in Pennsylvania, one of the more hotly contested swing states, which Donald Trump won in 2016 and Joe Biden won in 2020.
Krasner is himself a Democratic party politician who has described himself as a “progressive prosecutor.”
The US Justice Department also sent a letter to Musk’s “America PAC” last week warning that the daily giveaways could violate federal law, which prohibits paying people to register to vote.
Musk has become a prominent supporter of Trump during the election campaign, setting up the America PAC to fundraise and reportedly donating millions of his own fortune to it.
