President Donald Trump delivered a strong message for recent illegal immigrants when asked what he would say to more than one million parole migrants.
Trump shared the response during an interview on Fox News with Bill Melugin on Wednesday.
“Get ready to leave,” Trump said. “Especially quickly if they’re criminals, get ready to leave because you’re going to be going out real fast.”
Trump also addressed the Biden-Harris administration’s CBP One app and migrant flight program.
“The app is bad, but what the worst is, is the flights because, you know, they tried to say, oh, we’re going to toughen up the border a little bit. They had planes flying over, loaded up with illegal migrants, people that shouldn’t be in our country, going to the Midwest, going to all places, because everything is now a border state,” he stated.
Melugin posted on X that 70,000-80,000 migrants are allowed to come into the U.S. lawfully every month between the two Biden programs. They are not counted in Border Patrol data as they are not illegal crossings, and they bypass Border Patrol entirely.
Earlier this month, Trump campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to the border policies of Vice President Kamala Harris.
“She called the wall ‘un-American,’ a ‘waste of taxpayer money,’ ‘medieval,’ and said it isn’t going to ‘stop’ illegal immigration,” Leavitt wrote.
The statement noted policies by Harris as both a California senator and as border czar under President Joe Biden.
“As a senator, Kamala tried to block President Trump’s construction of the border wall. As Border Czar, Kamala Harris halted construction of the border wall. Kamala’s ACTIONS speak much louder than the WORDS of the anonymous staff she is cowering behind,” the statement concluded.
The Trump campaign also launched a website in August addressing migrant crime and fentanyl deaths under the Biden-Harris administration.
The website, KamalaBorderBloodBath.com, attacked “border czar” Harris just one day after her official nomination as the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate.
“During her time as Border Czar, the Harris-Biden administration has allowed vicious criminals into the United States, and innocent Americans across the country are paying the price. Lethal drugs, cartels, gangs, and terrorists are taking advantage of the crisis to enter the U.S. and threaten America,” the website’s text states.
“This is an invasion, and Kamala Harris is complicit. This is Kamala’s border bloodbath,” it adds.
