Despite long labelling itself a "nation of immigrants", the United States is in the middle of one of the most aggressive immigration crackdowns in modern history. It was meant to be Donald Trump's strongest card — but with the 3 November midterm elections approaching, the question is whether it could become his biggest downfall.
USSC Director of Research Jared Mondschein spoke with SBS News about this issue, saying that, rather, economic anxiety could be the deciding issue, as "it was economic problems in 2024 that won Donald Trump the election" and that "in many ways, the economy is the number one problem leading to record-low approval ratings for him right now."
