Trump’s controversial proposal on immigrants
The immigration agenda was one of the big issues of the Republican’s campaign. As in 2016, the media businessman promotes harsh penalties for illegal residentsas well as strengthening the borders of the United States.
In a new chapter of his 2024 campaign, Trump once again attacked immigration during an event in North Carolina. “I am asking for the death penalty for any migrant that kills an American citizen or a law enforcement agent… Congress will approve it,” said the Republican leader.
Along these lines, Trump also warned that “the border is the biggest threat” of the United States. In addition, he also assured that immigration is the issue that most worries Americans: “It is number one, it is the first, and the second is the economy, and the third is inflation”.
Although immigration is an issue of utmost importance to American citizens, different surveys revealed that this statement by Trump is false. An example of this is the Gallup study that reflected that for the 52% of citizens the economy is the main concern of citizenswhile the Immigration ranked fifth.
