What Went Down On Night 2 Of The RNC

Trump has been the most anti-immigation president in recent memory. He has been proud of this, talking proudly of his efforts to clamp down on illegal immigration and trying to wind down Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. So it’s very striking to see him have a naturalization ceremony and feature that as part of his political brand.
