Speaking at the White House at an immigration event, President Donald Trump said that he predicts a “red wave” for the upcoming midterm elections in November because a “blue wave means crime.” Trump said that the proposed wall on the southern U.S. border is getting “longer and taller and stronger” each day. Trump urged Congress to appropriate $5 billion in funding for the wall.
