Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has announced drastic measures to crack down on gang members from abroad if he is re-elected.
“We will send elite Border Patrol and federal law enforcement forces to hunt down, arrest and deport every illegal gang member until there is none left in the country,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Aurora, a suburb of Denver, Colorado. .
During the meeting, as at other performances, he used dehumanizing language and generalizations about migrants. For example, Trump repeated the claim that migrants brought highly contagious diseases to the United States and “contaminated” the country. Trump has made irregular migration the main theme of his election campaign.
Trump wants to save Aurora
The city of Aurora made headlines in August after scores of Venezuelan migrants were forced to move from an apartment complex there. The city had the building evacuated due to safety deficiencies and sanitation violations. At the same time, reports of the suspected presence of the Venezuelan gang “Tren de Aragua” in the residential complex caused a stir. The city’s Republican mayor, Mike Coffman, said at the time that his city was not controlled by Venezuelan gangs, including residential complexes.
Trump, on the other hand, claimed exactly this during his appearance, promising to accelerate “the elimination of uncivilized mobs.” He will “save” Aurora and every city “invaded and conquered.” Trump said he had been waiting for this day to finally be in Aurora “to get the world’s attention.”
The law of 1798 is intended to guarantee order
If criminals try to return to the United States after being deported, they “automatically face 10 years in prison without parole,” Trump said. He also calls for the “death penalty for any migrant who kills an American citizen (…)”. And to make deportations easier, he wants to pass a law from the distant year 1798 that would allow the president to deport any foreigner who comes from a country with which the United States is at war.
Trump accused President Joe Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris of failing. “They are ruining our country.” As a Democratic presidential candidate, Harris wants to prevent Trump from returning to the White House. As deputy, she was also responsible for the migration issue. The presidential elections in the US will take place on November 5.
