1. Illegal Immigration and Sanctuary States
Sanctuary states (Illinois, California, New York) are releasing undocumented immigrants charged with serious crimes instead of honoring ICE detainers.
Statistics:
Illinois released 1,800 illegal aliens charged with crimes (including murder, assault, sex crimes).
Over 4,000 active ICE detainers reportedly ignored.
Specific Cases: Individuals were involved in kidnapping, sexual assault, and fatal DUI crashes.
Political Criticism: Democratic leaders (Gov. Pritzker, Gov. Newsom, NYC Mayor-elect Mundani) are prioritizing illegal immigrants over public safety.

2. Gas Prices and Affordability
Key Data Points:
Biden-era peak: $5.16 per gallon (June 2022).
Current average: $2.90 per gallon (December update).
Diesel average: $3.67 per gallon.
Regional Contrast: Southern and Midwestern states report prices below $2.50, while California remains high at $4.46.

3. Farm Aid and Trade Policy
Main Argument: Trump proposes a $12 billion aid package for farmers impacted by tariffs and trade wars, funded by tariff revenue rather than taxpayer money.
Details:
Aid targets soybean and sorghum farmers hardest hit by China trade disputes.
References past aid: $22 billion (2019) and $46 billion (2020).
Underlying Issue: Farmers face rising costs, market uncertainty, and risk of consolidation favoring large industrial farms.
