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.

    Seems like you’ve been manipulated by propaganda. Your response is regurgitating talking points. It’s not a thoughtful, meaningful response to the questions posed to you.

      I present to you things that are actually happening and you ignore it. I think you ate the one consuming too much propaganda.

      Here are migrants taking low income new Yorkers food

      Of course I know the play book you operate on. You will ignore it or claim the sources are bias continuing to live in your own echo chamber.

      Mean while the poor and desolate continue to get screwed over by bidens open immigration policy.

        Yeah, how often do you even read anything outside your own echo chamber, i wonder?

        I don’t reject sources because of who said it. I actually read stuff I don’t expect to agree with. Then I reject stuff I now know is founded on stupid arguments…

        Oh, and without immigration, America would not exist. They are the blood of this country. Just saying.

          There is a difference between legal amd illegal immigration. But you already know that.

            Your comment is utterly irrelevant to the issue of blatant bigotry and prejudice. But that doesn’t bother you.

            In your case, don’t touch grass; you’d probably poison it. :p

        The poor and desolate are not such due to Biden “Open Immigration policy” (lmao, Biden has been continuing the same policies put in place by his predecessor as you can see here) but rather by the continued steal of resources put forward by commercial entities which have used the events of these past years to ramp-up the prices of their goods and services well beyond the natural increase rate caused by the same events (see point 2 of the paragraph “Ways to fight inflation” in the report at this link for reference).

        Of course I know the play book you operate on. You will ignore it or claim the sources are bias continuing to live in your own echo chamber.

        Mean while the poor and desolate continue to get screwed over by interest groups and this capitalist-centred society.

          Billions are being spent on new illegal migrants over the poor and desolate Biden could have closed the border and used that money and the tens if not hundreds of billions sent to the Ukraine to fox homelessness here in the states.

            Quod erat demonstrandum (as it was demonstrable) you completely ignored me showing you Biden kept the same policies of the orange cheeto in place when he arrived in the white house as well as the fact that the biggest thief of common resources are huge corporations and not poor immigrants coming to America in search of a better life.

            Keep talking about being stuck in echo chambers for everyone else without reflecting about yourself as it is a standard for brainless people, I’m sure you’ll fit right in the crowd who will vote for the biggest threat to the democratic world next November.
