During a campaign rally in Wisconsin, former United States President and Republican candidate Donald Trump launched a new attack against undocumented migrants this Sunday, describing their arrival in the country as "an invasion of wild criminals."
Trump harshly criticized the administration of President Joe Biden and his vice president, Kamala Harris, for what he described as an inefficient management at the border, and he reiterated his promise to carry out "the largest deportation" in the country's history if elected again.
"It is an invasion of savage criminals," stated the magnate before just over 2,000 people in one of the so-called key states for the upcoming elections on November 5.
"We are allowing horrible people to cross the border," he said, according to the EFE agency.
"Millions of people are arriving in our country from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and asylums. (...) They are taking over the cities. They are occupying buildings. They are entering violently," he expressed.
It is worth remembering that Trump made headlines during the first (and only so far) debate with Harris, his Democratic rival in the upcoming elections, by stating that immigrants eat the dogs and cats of residents in border towns.
In September, he stated that his promise of carrying out mass deportations - in case he wins the elections - would begin with the states of Ohio and Colorado.
"We are going to carry out the largest deportation in the history of our country," he declared to reporters from Rancho Palos Verdes, California. "And we will begin with Springfield and Aurora," a report from CBS News stated.
He also assured that he will immediately eliminate the humanitarian parole program and the CBP One mobile app, migration options implemented by the Biden administration.
In addition to his comments on immigration, Trump took the opportunity at the rally to criticize the federal government's response to Hurricane Helene, which recently struck the southeastern United States, leaving more than 230 dead.
He accused the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) of providing a "disastrous response" and perpetuated a rumor circulating on the internet, claiming that the government has diverted funds to help migrants instead of assisting those affected by the hurricane.
In contrast, Harris, the Democratic candidate, visited North Carolina on Saturday, the state most impacted by Helene, where she defended FEMA's response and assured that federal aid "will be long-term" for the disaster survivors.
