Trump, Biden gird for historic US presidential debate

One of Biden’s biggest vulnerabilities is border security, with Trump promising to combat an influx of undocumented migrants from Mexico with mass deportations and repeatedly bringing up killings by migrants.

US media reported that Trump is expected to invite family members of victims of migrant violence to Atlanta, although the debate itself will have no audience.

The Biden administration announced Wednesday that new restrictions had brought illegal migrant crossings to their lowest levels in more than three years, undercutting immigration as an attack line.
