Donald J. Trump appears to all but have been named the 2024 Republican Party candidate for President.  And he is talking even tougher on immigration than ever. 

CNN reports that Trump yesterday visited Texas near the US-Mexico border and escalated his anti-immigrant rhetoric and campaigns on hardline immigration policy proposals.  Trump also received the endorsement of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

Trump bashed President Joe Biden over his handling of the border, saying that the United States has the “most unsecure border in the history, I believe, really, of the world.”

The former president has been ramping up his rhetoric on the campaign trail, promising to conduct the “largest domestic deportation operation in American history” if he wins the White House next year. He has said that undocumented immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country” in comments that echoed White supremacist rhetoric and has compared migrants who come to the US to the fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter.
