Former US President Donald Trump visited Texas near the US-Mexico border on Sunday (local time) and attacked the Biden administration over his \u2018anti-migrant\u2019 rhetoric, calling the US borders the \u201cmost unsafe\u201d in the history of the world, CNN reported. Speaking at the South Texas International Airport, Trump bashed President Joe Biden over his handling of the border, arguing that the US now has the \u201cmost insecure border in the history, I believe, really, of the world.\u201d During the visit, Trump also received the endorsement of Texas Governor Greg Abbott.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need Donald J. Trump back as our president of the United States of America,\u201d the Republican governor said at an event with the former president in Edinburg, Texas. The former president has been ramping up his rhetoric on the campaign trail, promising to conduct the \u201clargest domestic deportation operation in American history\u201d if he wins the White House next year. He has said that undocumented immigrants are \u201cpoisoning the blood of our country\u201d. \u201cThere\u2019s never been anything like this. Our country is being invaded. This is an invasion,\u201d.<\/p>\n
Notably, the Republican frontrunner has made \u2018curtailing illegal immigration\u2019 a cornerstone of his 2024 campaign, CNN reported. The former President is also planning a widespread expansion of his administration\u2019s hard-line immigration policies that would restrict both legal and illegal immigration, should he be elected to a second term. The plans include rounding up undocumented immigrants already in the US and placing them in detention camps to await deportation. Such a proposal would necessitate building large camps to house migrants waiting for deportation and tapping federal and local law enforcement to assist with arrests of undocumented immigrants across the country, according to CNN.<\/p>\n
\u201cStopping the invasion at our southern border is an urgent national security necessity and one of President Trump\u2019s top priorities. For that reason, he has laid out \u2013 in his own speeches and Agenda 47 platform \u2013 by far the most detailed program for securing the border, stopping illegal immigration, and removing those who should never have been allowed into our country in the first place,\u201d a spokesperson for the Trump campaign said in a statement to CNN. On the other hand, the officials of President Joe Biden\u2019s campaign have outrightly slammed the policies, calling them \u201cunAmerican.\u201d \u201cSimply put, Donald Trump is going after immigrants, our rights, our safety and our democracy. And that is really what\u2019s on the ballot next year,\u201d said Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez.<\/p>\n
The Biden campaign also blasted Trump\u2019s visit to the US-Mexico border, casting the former president\u2019s immigration policies as \u201cinhumane\u201d and \u201cdraconian.\u201d The former president has been pointing to the Israel-Hamas war to advocate an immigration crackdown. Trump has also pushed for \u201cideological screenings\u201d of immigrants, blocking immigrants and refugees from predominantly Muslim countries, and deporting people in the US on visas who he argues have \u201cjihadist sympathies\u201d, CNN reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
