He vowed to \u201cstop the invasion of criminals into our country\u201d and to restore the American dream \u2014 a reference to several illegal migrants who have been charged with heinous crimes including rape and murder of American citizens since the beginning of the Biden-Harris administration.<\/p>\n
President Joe Biden put Harris in charge of solving the then-budding border crisis but throughout her nearly four-year term in office, illegal crossings only worsened, hitting new records nearly every month.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is all you need to know. Kamala broke it. I will fix it,\u201d Trump told the crowd.<\/p>\n
At one point, while criticizing Harris for her handling of the migrant crisis, Trump also took a jab at President Biden, 81, who has largely been absent from Trump\u2019s criticisms since he withdrew from the presidential race over the summer, The Post said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the past four years, Kamala Harris has orchestrated the most egregious betrayal that any leader in American history has ever inflicted upon the people of the United States. It\u2019s true,\u201d Trump told the crowd.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not even believable: the worst people in the world. I used this term yesterday for the first time. I just thought of it while I\u2019m up here. I think of a lot of things when I\u2019m up here that aren\u2019t on the stupid machine,\u201d he said, pointing to the teleprompter.<\/p>\n
\u201cIsn\u2019t it nice to have a president that doesn\u2019t need a freaking teleprompter?\u201d he added, eliciting another round of hearty cheers from the crowd.<\/p>\n
Trump primarily concentrated on the migrant crisis during his lengthy speech but refrained from promoting his mass deportation policies.<\/p>\n
He has previously suggested the removal of \u201cnearly 20 million,\u201d potentially echoing the dragnet-style sweeps of \u201cOperation Wetback\u201d under former President Dwight Eisenhower in 1954, which resulted in the removal of just over 1 million migrants, The Post noted further.<\/p>\n
This week, the Biden administration instructed ICE to expedite deportations, a move that critics have condemned as an effort to improve Harris\u2019 image ahead of the election. Republicans have countered that Biden could have issued that order years ago, or better yet, he could have chosen to leave Trump\u2019s strict border enforcement policies in place after he took office.<\/p>\n
Trump vowed that closing the border would be his first action if he wins the election.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will defend our borders and protect our citizens, and we will stop illegal immigration once and for all. We will not be invaded. We will not be occupied, we will not be overrun, we will not be conquered,\u201d Trump told the raucous gathering.<\/p>\n
