That\u2019s where I stood with them to cover the rally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe American economy is booming,\u201d said Vice president Mike Pence, introducing Trump.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"soundcite\" data-url=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP+Media+Folder+-+medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Jobs-badger.m4a\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"29000\" data-plays=\"1\">Since Election Day 2016 businesses large and small have created 7.1 million new jobs, including 37,000 good-paying jobs right here in the Badger State.

I like that he&#8217;s trying to balance our trade agreements,\u201d she said, adding that she feels safer under a Republican government. \u201cI don&#8217;t worry that someone is gonna drop a bomb on Milwaukee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hilton Harrell Jr., one of the few African American supporters at the rally, said he likes Trump because he is not a \u201cglobalist leader\u201d \u2014 a leader he described as caring more for the interests of nations other than America.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump does something totally different \u2014 he isn\u2019t like Republicans or Democrats. He is unique in that he just wants what is good for America,\u201d said the 46-year-old, who works as a caregiver.<\/p>\n<p>He claimed the Democrats are more racist than Trump and the administration\u2019s tough immigration policies are not xenophobic or racist but cautious for security reasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want people to come over through the right ways so we know who they are, you know. Like, if I open my door, I want to know who is coming in,\u201d Harell said.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, nearly 70,000 migrant children, primarily from Central America, were held in government custody, 42% more detainees than in 2018. And the duration of family separation had also increased despite the government being aware of the harm this does to them, the Associated Press <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/015702afdb4d4fbf85cf5070cd2c6824\">reported<\/a> on Nov. 12.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re fleeing often to save their own lives, because violence and abuse, even murder, are committed with impunity under corrupt governments the U.S. has supported for decades,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n<p>Holden, 21, a line service technician at a Milwaukee airport, attending his first rally since he first voted for the president in 2016 said he is glad to see more focus on American economic interests, but is wary of a looming war with Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Tensions with the Middle Eastern country had been rising since Trump pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/01\/06\/world\/middleeast\/trump-iran-soleimani-strategy.html\">spiked<\/a> recently with the killing of Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani on Jan. 3, followed by Iran\u2019s retaliatory missile attack of a U.S. air base in Iraq.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIran kept calling us out and they kept sort of attacking us and we couldn\u2019t take that lying down but I don&#8217;t want to go to war with them, I think it will be a waste of resources,\u201d he said, adding he would reconsider voting for Trump if tensions further escalate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;ll see what the other Republican candidates look like this time but you know Trump&#8217;s probably the strongest and he&#8217;s got the best chance of winning,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: Over 200 people waited outside the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panther Arena to watch President Trump address the rally in downtown Milwaukee on Tuesday, Jan. 17.
