Donald Trump said he would bring an end to all ‘illegal entries’ and asserted that the US vice president Kamala Harris is letting in illegal immigrants inside the country.
Donald Trump on Sunday said he will ‘immediately end the migrant invasion of America’ and suspend government services extended to immigrants who enter the US illegally.
He vowed he will stop the CBP One App – which migrants entering the US have used while seeking asylum at a port of entry to pre-schedule appointments for processing and maintain guaranteed asylum eligibility, according to the American Immigration Council.
As President I will immediately end the migrant invasion of America. We will stop all migrant flights, end all illegal entries, terminate the Kamala phone app for smuggling illegals (CBP One App), revoke deportation immunity, suspend refugee resettlement, and return Kamala’s…— Donald J.

Trump also warned he will revoke deportation immunity and suspend refugee resettlement. Asserting US Vice President Kamala Harris is responsible for the migrant surge in the US, he said he would return ‘Kamala’s illegal migrants to their home countries’.
“As President I will immediately end the migrant invasion of America. We will stop all migrant flights, end all illegal entries, terminate the Kamala phone app for smuggling illegals (CBP One App), revoke deportation immunity, suspend refugee resettlement, and return Kamala’s illegal migrants to their home countries (also known as remigration). I will save our cities and towns in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and all across America. #MAGA2024!” Trump said in a post on social media site X.
Trump on Friday pledged to conduct mass deportations of Haitian immigrants from the Ohio city of Springfield, even though the majority of them are in the United States legally.
The city for days has found itself at the center of a social media maelstrom after right-wing agitators latched onto false claims that Haitian arrivals were eating household pets.
“We will do large deportations in Springfield, Ohio,” Trump said at a press conference at his golf resort near Los Angeles.
The majority of the 15,000 Haitians in Springfield are there legally. Trump’s longstanding pledge to conduct mass deportations usually refers to those in the country illegally.
Trump did not repeat the assertion he made during Tuesday’s presidential debate with Democrat Kamala Harris that immigrants were eating dogs and cats, remarks that have been widely mocked.
Two elementary schools were evacuated and one middle school in Springfield was closed on Friday after anonymous bomb threats were made against the community for the second day in a row, according to ABC News.
