If reelected, Trump has pledged to finish the border wall, reinstitute travel bans and launch mass deportation efforts.

With a border deal hanging in the balance and the Iowa caucuses a month away, Donald Trump amplified his attack on immigrants at a rally in New Hampshire on Saturday.

“They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” the former president said. “They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world. Not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia.”

While in the White House, Trump sought to deter immigration by building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, building some 450 miles of fencing along the nearly 2,000-mile border, much of which replaced existing barriers. In addition to strict border security measures, his administration also implemented a travel ban for people from several predominantly Muslim countries.

    This is not a coherent position. You’re basically just talking about feelings, not actual facts or policy.

    Also, where can I find this “Americans second” message you speak of? Where did you see or hear that? Are you sure you’re not making it up?

      Read up on new york. Illegal migrants are now taking poor new Yorkers food and shelter spots.

      Go look at Chicago and the black marches against the mayor.

      As long as the souther border is open then bidens message is Americans second.
