A new Trump campaign statement says it’s good to be an illegal alien in Kamala’s America, but not if you’re a U.S. citizen.
The news release chronicled a group list of information showing the ways that the Biden-Harris administration’s policies have improved the lives of illegal immigrants while making life more difficult for America’s hardworking citizens.
“Americans have been subjected to four years of pain. Overall prices are up 20.3% under Kamala, while real wages remain lower than when she took office. Nearly half of Americans consider themselves ‘broke,’ while two-thirds report living paycheck-to-paycheck,” the statement read.
“Now, Kamala wants to be rewarded with four more years in the White House — when she would unleash the largest tax hike in history and punish American manufacturing and reward companies that ship jobs overseas,” it added.
The statistics cited a study from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showing that 825,000 native-born Americans lost employment over the past year while 1.2 million foreign-born workers gained employment.
The American workforce also continues to struggle following the COVID-19 pandemic. The latest report reveals that 6.8 million Americans are unemployed, up from 6.3 million a year ago. Long-term unemployed Americans increased by 97,000 last month, according to the BLS.
The Trump campaign also noted in a separate statement on Wednesday that FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is struggling to help several states in the Southeast in recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene after massive payments toward migrant programs.
“FEMA has run out of money for the rest of hurricane season because Kamala Harris used the funds for free giveaways to illegal immigrants,” Trump Campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote.
“This is inexcusable and yet another example of Kamala Harris putting Americans LAST!” she added.
The statement noted a Wednesday headline from the Associated Press that read “Mayorkas warns FEMA doesn’t have enough funding to last through hurricane season.”
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas shared the concerns with reporters in his discussion of the agency’s response to storms that have killed at least 190 people in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina, as RSBN reported Thursday.
“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” Mayorkas said. “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”
