America's fentanyl crisis is being turned against immigrants and into an election strategy | 7.30
With just five days until the election, Donald Trump's campaign is hammering home a simple message: Illegal immigrants bring drugs and crime to North Carolina — and they say Kamala Harris is to blame.
The state capital of Raleigh is more than 2,400 kilometres from the US/Mexico border.

He says an uncontrolled border is bringing crime to North Carolina. Adam Harvey reports.
