Watch Replay: Donald Trump Rallies in Grand Rapids and Warren, Michigan

Updated at 8:43 p.m. MICHIGAN — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said during a campaign swing through Michigan Monday that Democratic nominee's immigration and foreign policy plans would make it easier for terrorists to make their way into Michigan schools.

Michigan is the top destination in the United States for the resettlement of Syrian refugees, many of whom make new homes in southeast Michigan.

“Hillary Clinton wants a 550 percent increase in Syrian refugees coming to our shores,” Trump said at a rally at Macomb Community College in Warren. “Hillary Clinton’s immigration plans mean generations of terrorism, extremism and radicalism spreading into your schools and communities all over Michigan.”

In both Warren and the Grand Rapids suburb of Walker, where he spoke earlier in the day, Trump said he is confident he will win Michigan in the Nov. 8 general election, and that he and running mate Mike Pence, the governor of Indiana, will win the White House.

“When we win, we will suspend the Syrian refugee program and we will keep radical Islamic terrorists the hell out of our country — believe me,” Trump said.

Trump acknowledged the situation many refugees in Syria are fleeing is “tragic,” but said a better plan is to establish safe zones in Syria that the Gulf states will finance. “We don’t have the money, we owe $20 trillion,” Trump said, “but they have plenty of money and they haven’t been stepping up, they’ll step up.

“We don’t want to have a modern-day version on the Trojan horse and that’s what’s going on,” he added.

As he did earlier in the day in Walker, Trump tried to turn the FBI’s bombshell announcement that more of Hillary Clinton’s emails had been discovered to his political advantage.

“This is the biggest scandal since Watergate,” Trump said. “We can be sure that what is in those emails is absolutely devastating, and I think we are going to find out.”

“Thank you Huma, than you Huma. Good job,” Trump said. “Thank you Anthony Weiner.”

The reference was to emails that were discovered former New York congressman Anthony Weiner, and his estranged wife, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin. The emails were discovered as part of an FBI investigation into illicit text messages Weiner is accused of sending to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina.

Trump said Clinton's “ election would mire our government and our country in a constitutional crisis that we cannot afford. … You can’t take it. I can’t take it. Nobody can take it.”

Retired Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight, who introduced Trump, interrupted the candidate’s rant about Donna Brazile, the former commentator revealed in hacked emails released Monday by WikiLeaks to have provided questions to Clinton’s campaign in a March 6 debate in Flint, Michigan.

“With Donald Trump, there will be no bull****,” Knight roared.

He returned to a script common in Michigan, “the flight of American jobs” to Mexico. He specifically mentioned Ford Motor Co., which has announced plans to move its compact car manufacturing operations to facilities it already owns in Mexico.

Our earlier report: The is Trump’s sixth visit to Michigan since he won his party’s nomination in July. What had been an 11-point lead in Michigan for Clinton in early October narrowed to 7 points in a statewide poll last week. Nationally, the presidential election is a horserace, and polls may shift with the disclosure that the FBI found an email cache that has prompted the agency to take another look at Clinton’s email practices.

However, the FBI bombshell hasn’t moved the polls, according to a new poll released Monday morning by Politico/Morning Consult. The weekend poll, which queried an online panel of 1,772 likely voters, was conducted after the disclosure by FBI Director James Comey of the discovery of emails that might pertain to the former secretary of state’s private server, showed Clinton maintaining a 3-point lead over Trump, 46 percent to 43 percent, in a four-way race. The poll had an error margin of 2 percent.

“It is unlikely that there will be a dramatic shift in the polls before Election Day,” said Morning Consult cofounder and Chief Research Officer Kyle Dropp. “While Friday’s news may be considered an ‘October Surprise,’ it doesn't seem to be moving the needle as of now.”

According to the poll, 89 percent of those surveyed knew a lot or some about the discovery of emails.

(Weiner, incidentally, has an anemic 8 percent approval rating — lower than Russia’s — in the Politico / Morning Consult poll.)

• The Justice Department's monitors will fan across the country as groups call for more state oversight amid Trump’s “rigged election” claims.

Trump is using the discovery of the emails to his advantage and has said the FBI and Justice Department are correcting what he contends was a mistake when Clinton wasn’t criminally charged for her use of a private email server from 2009-2013, while she was the secretary of state. Comey said in July that although her conduct was careless, it didn’t warrant criminal charges.

Clinton’s campaign has criticized Comey’s bombshell letter to Congress announcing that the FBI is examining the emails. Comey announced the probe with less than two weeks before Americans vote in the historic Nov. 8 election, and Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook called the timing “very curious.”

“Let’s just get all the information out there so that the rumors and the hypotheticals can be put to rest. And again, we’re hearing a lot of criticism now from former Justice Department officials, from former Clinton administration, former Bush administration, pointing out this is unprecedented,” Mook said Oct. 30 on “Meet the Press.”

“There are Justice Department policies against doing something like this so close to an election,” he said.

The FBI received a warrant Sunday night to scour the approximately 650,000 emails found on Weiner’s devices.
