Donald Trump said that in countries like Venezuela, “they open prisons and mental hospitals” to send criminals and lunatics to the United States

Donald Trump said that in countries like Venezuela, “they open prisons and mental hospitals” to send criminals and the insane to the United States. This comment generates stigmatization.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump said this Wednesday in a forum with Latino voters that he supports legal immigration and strong borders and reiterated that there are countries that send their prisoners and empty mental hospitals to send them to the United States.

Donald Trump said in this forum organized by Univision that his immigration policy was “an unprecedented success” and that Biden should have maintained his strategy on the southern border such as the “Stay in Mexico” policy, which returns asylum seekers to Mexico while their applications are resolved.

Statements by Donald Trump
Republican candidate Donald Trump commented: countries like Venezuela “open prisons and mental hospitals” to send criminals and the insane to the United States, a generalization that stigmatizes undocumented immigrants and is not supported by data.

“With me (the immigrants) came legally and the system worked well.

Let them come legally and let them not release murderers, drug traffickers and terrorists,” said the Republican candidate, who has promised a massive deportation of undocumented immigrants.

The former president reiterated lies or inaccuracies such as that “the prison population in the world is decreasing because they are sent to the US” or that “they are emptying Venezuelan prisons so they can come here.” “We want people to come, but not murderers,” he reiterated.

Donald Trump emphasized winning the Latino vote in this forum with the promise of supporting small businesses, attracting investment and new jobs and reducing inflation with lower energy prices and greater exploitation of hydrocarbons.

“The Democrats do not know about (economic) growth. We are going to attract companies and end the abuse and waste,” said the former president, who said he now has the support of the tycoon and founder of SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk, to contain federal government spending.

Donald Trump has reduced the margins that Democrats have over Republicans in voting intention among Hispanics since the 2016 elections, an improvement that could be key to winning in key states such as Arizona, Nevada or Pennsylvania and reaching the White House after the elections on November 5.

He reiterates accusation about Haitian migrants

Although the city authorities have denied these claims, Donald Trump referred to it again and assured that he was only echoing the reports that were also published in newspapers.

“I only said what was reported,” they also ate other things that are not supposed to be eaten. I was there, I will go again and we will review and I can give you a report when I do, but well, that is what appeared in the newspapers, it was reported a lot,” he insisted.

Mass deportations
During his electoral campaign, Trump has announced the closure of the border from the moment he arrives at the White House, he has also promised to lead the largest deportation of migrants in the history of this country.

Although during the forum, attendees requested details about his immigration policy and his rejection of a bipartisan border bill, Trump evaded these questions and focused on his recent proposal for the mass deportation of migrants under the Operation Aurora plan.

Trump accuses migrants of leaving Hispanics unemployed

During the forum with Latinos organized by Univision, Donald Trump said: «Illegal migration is creating a direct economic war against black and Hispanic Americans by taking away their jobs.»

Legal migration
Trump assured that during his previous term, immigration policies were successful. «With me, migrants came legally and the system worked well (…) Let them come legally and let them not release murderers, drug traffickers and terrorists,» he insisted.

In September, Trump also threatened to eliminate the humanitarian parole program that has benefited foreigners from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua and Haiti with temporary work permits.
