Former President Donald Trump has pledged to take immediate and drastic action against immigration if he secures the presidency in 2024.
In a statement broadcasted on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Trump asserted that one of his first acts in office would be to deport all migrants currently residing in the United States back to their home countries.
Promising to put an end to what he describes as the “migrant invasion of America,” Trump outlined a comprehensive strategy aimed at addressing the complexities of migration.
His plan includes halting all migrant flights, terminating illegal entries, and dismantling the controversial CBP One App, which he claims is a tool for smuggling undocumented individuals into the country.
Trump emphasized, “As President I will immediately end the migrant invasion of America. We will stop all migrant flights, end all illegal entries, terminate the Kamala phone app for smuggling illegals (CBP One App), revoke deportation immunity, suspend refugee resettlement, and return Kamala’s illegal migrants to their home countries (also known as remigration). I will save our cities and towns in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and all across America. #MAGA2024!”
In a controversial debate with his primary rival, current Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump made headlines with an alarming claim about immigrants resorting to extreme measures for survival.
He stated, “They are eating the dogs, the people that came in (immigrants), they are eating the cats. They are eating the pets of the people that live there and this is what is happening in our country. I would say we would both leave this debate right now.”
Trump argued that the lax enforcement of border policies under the Biden administration has led to a surge of unregulated migration, resulting in dire circumstances for some. He insisted that the only way to rectify this situation is for the government to take immediate action to close the nation’s borders.
“I would like to see her go down to Washington, D.C. and let us sign a bill to close the border because they (the government) have the right to do it. They don’t need bills,” he declared.
