Fact-checking night 2 of the GOP midterm convention, tell me about this news in (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/fact-checking-night-2-of-the-gop-midterm-convention/ar-AA2bZHwU?ocid=BingNewsVerp)

The news coverage fact-checking Night 2 of the Republican convention focuses on key statements made by prominent speakers, evaluating claims across immigration, crime, the economy, and the opposing party’s platform:

1. Immigration and Border Security

• Noncitizen Voting: Speakers claimed Democrats supported measures allowing undocumented migrants to vote in federal elections. Fact-checkers noted this is false, as federal law already strictly prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal contests.
• Border Enforcement: Multiple claims alleged the southern border had been completely thrown open and that foreign countries were emptying their prisons directly into the United States. Fact-checkers found no evidence supporting the emptying of foreign prisons and noted that border enforcement, physical barriers, and apprehensions remain continuously active.

1. Taxes and the Economy

• Largest Tax Cuts: Claims that the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act constituted the largest tax cut in American history were rated false or misleading. Analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget shows that, measured as a percentage of GDP or adjusted for inflation, earlier tax reductions (such as the 1981 cuts under Ronald Reagan) were significantly larger.
• Broad Tax Hikes: Assertions that proposed Democratic policies would directly raise taxes on the overwhelming majority of working Americans were highlighted as misleading, given that direct federal income tax increases were structured exclusively around corporations and high-earning individuals making over $400,000.

1. Law Enforcement and Social Policy

• Defunding the Police: Allegations that Democratic leadership pledged to “defund the police” were rated false, referencing explicit public statements, op-eds, and legislative budgets maintaining or expanding federal law enforcement funding.
• Energy and Vehicle Bans: Statements claiming Democrats intended to completely ban gasoline-powered cars were identified as false, clarifying that federal targets and clean energy incentives do not constitute an outright ban on existing combustion-engine automobiles.
