Republican Party presidential candidate Donald Trump has called on the US police to ensure a total crackdown on crime in the United States, while his White House rival, Kamala Harris, has continued to emphasise on the need for immigration reform at a rally in Nevada 

Trump made his statement in a speech in Pennsylvania on Sunday.

Pennsylvania is considered the most important of the seven toss-up states that will likely decide the November 5 presidential election, but Nevada is also one of the key battlegrounds.

The Republican former president and current candidate, who held a similar rally in swing state Wisconsin, reprised his dark, racially charged message about an America crumbling under “invasion” by violent migrants and other criminals.

Recounting isolated — but widely publicised — incidents of thieves staging brazen daylight robberies of shops in major cities, Trump got a loud cheer when he said police should become “extraordinarily rough.”

Criminals, he said, “have to be taught” and this could be done “if you had one really violent day.”

“One rough hour — and I mean real rough — the word would get out and it would end immediately,” Trump said.

“The police aren’t allowed to do their job” because “the liberal left won’t let them.”

Harris, the vice president and Democratic candidate, addressed the “serious problems” of border security at a rally in Las Vegas.

She underscored the need for the economy, health care and immigration reform.

Harris said, “As president, I will double the resources for the Department of Justice to go after the transnational cartels.

“We know Donald Trump won’t solve them. When he was president, he did nothing to fix our immigration system,” she added, calling for comprehensive reform but without offering details.

Trump  in Wisconsin speech focused on a failing United States, inundated by what he said was the “massive number of savage criminal aliens that Kamala Harris has allowed to invade.”

He claimed “terrorists are pouring into our country” and cited “a big prison in the Congo, in Africa,” as the source of “a lot of people” .

Following record numbers of illegal border crossings earlier in President Joe Biden’s administration, a tightening of rules — to the consternation of immigrant rights and civil liberties groups — led to a plunge in numbers this year.

Crime, including murder, is also in steep decline nationwide, the FBI says.
