Despite his message of unity, Donald Trump finally took up the immigration issue again in a blunt manner and during his acceptance speech for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, the former president promised to end the “immigration crisis” in the United States, and He assured that he will complete the construction of the border wall.
Asserting that the country has “incompetent leadership,” he described various crises that he believes are affecting the United States and the world. “Our planet is teetering on the brink of World War III,” he warned, while He warned of a “massive invasion on our southern border,” referring to the U.S. border with Mexico.
“I will end the illegal immigration crisis by closing our border and ending the war, which I have already largely saved,” he told a crowd of supporters.

“We have to stop the invasion of our country that is killing hundreds of thousands of people a year,” “The worst invasion of all time,” he said. “Let’s drill and close that border,” he added, referring to the wall.
Trump referred to the decline in crime rates in other countries, such as Venezuela and El Salvador, and asked why this phenomenon occurred. “They are sending their murderers to the United States!”he warned.
Trump also vowed to reinstate his “Remain in Mexico” program, which forced asylum seekers to wait for their applications on the Mexican side of the border, and to once again ban entry to people from several Muslim countries.
“In Venezuela, crime has dropped by 72%. We will have the next Republican convention in Caracas, Venezuela, because it will be safe. Our cities will be unsafe. In El Salvador, murders have dropped by 70%, why have they dropped?” he asked.
“The greatest invasion in history is taking place right here in our country. They are coming from every corner of the earth, not just South America, but Africa, Asia, and the Middle East,” Trump said.“They are reaching levels we have never seen before; in fact, it is an invasion and this administration is doing nothing to stop them.”
