President Donald Trump defended his immigration policies at an event in Nevada aimed at boosting the prospects of a Republican senator facing a difficult re-election fight, saying that without a tough stance on the border the U.S. would be “overrun.”
Trump held a closed-door fundraiser in the Las Vegas area on Saturday for Senator Dean Heller, and afterward addressed the Nevada Republican Party Convention. He was next scheduled to attend a tax-focused event, six months after the passage of major tax-cutting legislation.
