Vice President Mike Pence said “the blue wave is going to hit the red wall’ just a week away from election day.
Pence made the comment during an interview in Philadelphia Tuesday, and pointed out the president and him have been spreading the message about the growing economy to the American people.

Speaking on illegal immigration, the vice president asserted the caravan is a source of great concern to Americans and the president is determined to support border patrol.
In addressing the issue of birthright citizenship, Pence suggested it is used by human traffickers to entice families to travel to the U.S.
He also claimed the Supreme Court hasn’t considered if the 14th Amendment applies to illegals.
“We are looking at action that would reconsider birthright citizenship,” stated Pence. “We all know what the 14th Amendment says, we all cherish the language of the 14th Amendment, but the Supreme Court of the United States has never ruled on whether or not the language of the 14th Amendment, subject to the jurisdiction thereof, applies specifically to people who are in the country illegally.”
Pence also emphasized the broad objective of action on the matter is to fix the broken immigration system.
