Trump Escalates Rhetoric Against Harris and Immigration in Wisconsin Rally
Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin – Former President Donald Trump intensified his attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden administration’s immigration policies during a rally on Saturday, warning of dire consequences if Harris were reelected. Trump painted a grim picture of America’s future, accusing the administration of welcoming criminals into the country and endangering American culture and safety.
The rally, held in the battleground state of Wisconsin, saw Trump aggressively focusing on immigration, an issue that has long energized his base. He accused Harris of transforming towns across the U.S. into “third-world hellholes” and criticized her recent visit to the U.S.-Mexico border, where she vowed to crack down further on illegal immigration. “You’re going to lose your culture, you’re going to lose your country,” Trump warned the crowd.
Throughout his speech, Trump repeatedly insulted Harris, calling her “mentally disabled” and claiming her policies were responsible for violent criminals entering the U.S. He stood beside posters displaying images of immigrants convicted of serious crimes, echoing his past rhetoric about an “invasion” of migrants across the southern border.
“If Kamala is reelected, your town and every town just like it will be transformed into a third-world hellhole,” Trump stated, targeting Harris’s presidential campaign. He further claimed that undocumented immigrants were responsible for violent crimes across the country, including murders, rapes, and assaults, and that Harris had allowed “millions of criminals” into the country.
Harris’s campaign spokesperson, Sarafina Chitika, responded to Trump’s comments, dismissing them as “dark and uninspiring” with no positive message for the American people.
Immigration remains one of the most significant issues in the 2024 election, with Trump positioning himself as the candidate who will enforce mass deportations and tighten border security. He vowed to carry out the “largest mass deportation in history” on day one if reelected, asserting that Harris and President Joe Biden had “betrayed the American nation.”
While Trump’s claims stirred applause from his supporters, studies have consistently shown that immigrants are not more likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born citizens. However, Trump continues to promote this narrative, focusing on cases involving violent crimes to fuel his campaign.
Trump’s criticism of Harris and Biden extends beyond immigration, accusing them of allowing fentanyl to flood into the country and devastate communities. In his speech, he featured families of victims who had lost loved ones to drug-related deaths, blaming the Biden administration for not taking stronger action to prevent the crisis.
As the 2024 election nears, Trump’s focus on immigration and crime is expected to remain central to his campaign, with Vice President Harris defending her policies and accusing Trump of fear-mongering.
