The surge into the U.S. of immigrants lacking permanent legal status has emerged as one of the most politically charged issues of the 2024 presidential election, Paul Davidson reports.
The wave of new arrivals has boosted the U.S. economy, while helping temper inflation, a top issue for voters.

Why gas prices are an election issue
Republican leaders from around the country have taken the stage in Milwaukee this week, praising their presidential pick, Donald Trump, and bashing President Joe Biden.
Several speakers hammered on the economy as a big mark against Biden's record, encouraging voters to remember how much gas prices have changed in the last few years, Kinsey Crowley reports.
On Tuesday, Lara Trump said "gas hit a low of $1.87 a gallon" under her father-in-law's presidency. "As I speak here to tonight, many of our fellow Americans don't know how they'll pay for their next trip to the grocery store."
Despite some economic successes under the Biden administration, many voters still think Trump handled the economy better.
Here are the facts.
