Former North American President attended a rally on Saturday (December 16); If elected, the Republican promised to curb immigration
Former US President Donald Trump said on Saturday (December 16, 2023) that undocumented immigrants are “polluting the blood of the United States” and criticized the increasing number of people trying to cross the border illegally. The information comes from Portal.
The Republican Party's main 2024 presidential candidate's statements were made during a campaign event in New Hampshire. At the time, he promised to step up action against illegal immigration if he was reelected for a second term.
“You are poisoning the blood of our country,” Trump said at the rally in the city of Durham. He added that immigrants from Asia, Africa and South America are arriving in the United States. “They are flooding our country from all over the world,” he said.
Trump had previously said that illegal immigrants were “poisoning the blood of the United States” in an interview with The National Pulse published in late September.
In October, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung dismissed criticism of the former president's language as “nonsense,” arguing that similar language was common in books, news articles and on television.
According to Portal news agency, the phrase “poisoning the blood of our country” was not included in Trump's prepared speeches that he distributed to the media ahead of the event on Saturday (December 16, 2023).
