It was immigration that Donald Trump was talking about on stage during the assassination attempt that left him bloodied and defiant – and it’s one of the fundamental issues currently dividing the United States, alongside the economy, abortion, and race.

Ahead of the presidential election in November, reporter Mark Willacy continues his journey across the country for a Four Corners special.

Already, the election campaign has seen some stunning turns, with President Joe Biden bowing out of the presidential race.

In Part 2, Four Corners explores the key issues in the battleground states, travelling to the frontline of the immigration crisis in Arizona’s wild southern desert where Trump wants to “stop the invasion” of migrants at the border with Mexico, as well as an abortion clinic which sees protestors gather almost daily.

Willacy visits Georgia, where political fractures have opened up in Black communities that were once a largely united voice, and he goes inside the Trump juggernaut — attending one of the former president’s rallies with fans who are steadfast in their belief that he will make America great again.

This episode was originally broadcast as Four Corners: ‘Retribution Part 2’, on 22 July 2024 on ABC TV and ABC iview.

Four Corners is Australia’s premier investigations documentary series.
