- Trump said in his CPAC speech that gangs were ‘invading’ the country
- ‘They’re coming from Asia. They’re coming from the Middle East,’ he said
- He said violent criminals are ‘nicer than the people that are flowing in’
Former President Donald Trump predicted tens of millions of migrants will pour into the country if President Biden is reelected, and said violent incarcerated criminals are ‘nicer’ than people coming in.
Trump compared the migrants to criminals in his speech to CPAC, where he said ‘ruthless gangs’ would be ‘invading’ the country if Biden were reelected, raising the issue early in remarks that were headed far past the hour-long mark.
‘All of a sudden we’re starting to like our prisoners and our horrible violent criminals because they’re nicer than the people that are flowing in. They’re coming from Asia. They’re coming from the Middle East. They’re coming from all over the world, coming from Africa, and we’re not going to stand for it anymore as a country,’ Trump said.
‘We’re not going to stand for it anymore. They’re destroying our country.’
Trump said people were coming in from ‘countries that nobody ever heard of,’ and said people from ‘prisons in the Congo’ were coming.
‘Let me tell you the only good thing is they make our prisoners and our bad gang members look like very nice people by comparison. That’s the one good thing,’ he said.
It was just his latest denunciation of the migrant influx, in a speech where he described a bleak future if President Biden gets a second term that came on the day of the South Carolina primary.
‘The worst is yet to come. Our country will go and see the levels that were unimaginable,’ Trump said, flipping the title of the Frank Sinatra hit.
‘With four more years of Biden the hordes of illegal aliens stampeding across our borders will exceed 40 to 50 million people,’ he claimed.
‘Medicare, Social Security, health care and public education will buckle and collapse,’ he said.
‘Ruthless gangs will explode even more into the suburbs,’ Trump said, then switching gears to say suburban women are ‘going to love me so much.’
‘The gangs will be invading your territory. He said Hamas and Antifa ‘will terrorize our streets … China will dominate us.’
He also referenced authorities he invoked as president citing health concerns as a way to deny entry to migrants seeking asylum.
We don’t want to have this contagion in our country,’ Trump said.
Trump’s migrant rhetoric has long been a powerful political tool, but it has also drawn blowback, as it did in 2016 when he said Mexico was sending ‘rapists’ into the country and first called for a ‘Muslim ban.’
It comes during an election year when voters rank immigration as a top concern. President Biden has himself begun to take a tougher public line, and a collapsed deal to aide Ukraine and Israel included new funding for border agents and judges.
