Trump’s Rhetoric Against Immigrants
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump reiterated his stance against immigrants from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East at a fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida. He expressed disappointment that people from countries like Switzerland were not immigrating to the United States.
‘Nice Countries’ Comment
During the fundraiser, Trump made references to “nice” countries like Denmark and Switzerland, questioning why immigrants from such countries were not coming to the US. This statement echoed his previous controversial remarks about certain nations.
Blaming Biden for Immigration Issues
