JAKARTA - A number of daily workers of HISpanic descent rallied in front of the White House, holding posters with slogans such as "I Like Biden" and "I Need Work Permits for My Family". They are said to have been paid 20 US dollars.

This action was initiated by Nick Shirley, a pro-Trump influencer who often asks migrants in front of the camera whether they support Democratic Party President Joe Biden or according to him he makes it easier for them to come to the US.

"We want to take you to the White House," Shirley told people she recruited at the Home Depot parking lot, where daily workers usually wait for work, in a video that was then uploaded to YouTube.

"What (Biden) did to the migrants was very good, wasn't it? Letting everyone in? So we'll show him and say thank you."

Shirley, 22, who has more than 318,000 followers on social media, is among the new influencer groups supporting Republican Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump who helped form immigration debates as US election campaigns heat up.

Their 'delivery' directly from American cities and the southern border with Mexico describes migrants entering the country illegally as dangerous and burdensome, and is part of a plan to increase the number of Democratic voters.

Biden took office in 2021 and pledged to overturn many Trump policies that limit borders, but he struggled to address the number of migrants caught illegally crossing the US-Mexico border under his watch.

While it is difficult to measure the impact of influencers in the debate, immigration is a major election issue for voters and is at the heart of Trump's campaign to reclaim the presidency in November.

About three-quarters of Republicans in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted in May said migrants in the US were illegally "an danger to public safety." Independent groups, who could determine who would occupy the next Oval Room, have different opinions on the matter
