how african-american women voters may become a driving force in the midterms. good morning from the studio 57 newsroom at cbs headquarters here in new york. i'm anne-marie green. on the homestretch to the midterm elections, president trump's strategy is clear and unwavering. he's using the immigrants to rally republican voters. he says he will issue an order next week that will crack down on them crossing america's southern border. and he also said soldiers near the border could shoot rock-throwing migrants. good morning, laura. >> that order of lethal force is facing legal questions because u.s. law forbids the military from domestic policing duties. but they say the motive behind the president moving these troops is for optics, to create this show of strength to deter

migrants who are headed up to our border and to convey to his republican base that those borders are protected. president trump fired up a crowd in columbia, missouri, last night warning the u.s. must take all necessary steps to protect its borders before migrant caravans forced their way into the united states. >> if you don't want america to be overrun by masses of illegal aliens and giant caravans, you better vote republican. >> hours earlier, the president said he'll use executive authority to ban asylum seekers from entering the country unless they surrender at legal ports of entry. >> they will no longer get a free pass in our country by lodging meritless claims in seeking asylum. >> mr. trump also declared the catch and release policy is over. immigrants who enter illegally

will be held indefinitely in massive tent cities like this one. earlier this week, the president ordered more than 5,000 active duty troops to the southwest border and warned that number could triple. he's authorized the military to use lethal force if migrants throw rocks like they did at the guatemala/mexico border. >> we will consider that a firearm, because there's not much difference. when you get hit in the face with a rock, consider it a rifle. >> he's also threatened to end a constitutional right that automatically grants citizenship to any baby born in the u.s. president trump heads to indiana today to campaign for republican senator candidate mike brawn. in these final days before the midterms, he's headlining 11 events in eight states where races are neck and neck. anne-marie. >> thanks a lot, laura. ahead on "cbs this morning," we'll ask republican strategist

dan senor if the president's immigration strategy is helping or hurting republican house members in critical battleground states. there are currently four caravans of immigrants trying to make their way from central america to the u.s. president trump says this is an invasion. the largest group now numbers about 4,000 migrants. it remains in southern mexico hundreds of miles from the u.s. border. activists say this group is shifting its route toward the gulf coast closer to the texas border. about 200 miles behind that group is a smaller group headed north. a third group of about 500 people made it to guatemala. and a fourth group of about 700 left el salvador wednesday. black voter turnout fell seven percentage points in the 2016 election, that's according to the u.s. census bureau. this year, african-american groups are working to reverse that trend. encouraging voters, particularly women of color, to vote. >> black women are the most

engaged voting blacks. >> across the country a sister to sister strategy session. >> learning more and getting people to come out and vote. >> that's why she took part in this discussion by higher heights to promote african-american women in politics. >> our objective is to get more black women involved. >> in 2016, 94% of african-american women supported hillary clinton over president trump. and last year they backed doug jones, the first democrat to win in 25 years. >> black women are responding to the current political moment. >> adrienne runs black path which helped senator jones win and hopes to replicate that in the midterms with a $14 million campaign. >> our top priority was u.s. senate races. >> in the hopes of flipping control of congress, the democratic party is pouring millions of dollars into turning out the vote of african-american women and african americans as a whole. and president trump wants them too.

touting his poll numbers, the president recently hosted a white house event with the young black conservatives. >> the black community is saying trump is racist, he doesn't want to meet with black people. and when the black people do go and meet with trump, there's people counteracting. >> you see the racist rhetoric and divisiveness coming out republican party, there's no way black voters are going that way. >> she says the concerns about the direction and the desire to gain political power is fueling a surge of african-american female candidates. >> it motivates us to elect more women of color. >>ing some -- something not lost on these young women. >> cbs live news coverage begins on cbsn at 5:00 p.m. on tuesday. the cbs morning team will be here for a prime time election night special starting at
