WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is predicting that Hillary Clinton will copy his language and policy on national security at next week’s debate.

He’s telling a rally in North Carolina that Clinton “is all of a sudden going to get tough.”

The Republican nominee said Tuesday that his Democratic rival will call for “strong borders” and “extreme vetting,” the term he uses for screening prospective immigrants.

Clinton has called for an increase in the number of refugees the Obama administration currently allows to seek asylum in the United States from war-torn countries like Syria. She supports a strong vetting program.

Trump wants to stop the refugee program. He called it “a Trojan horse” for terrorists.
