In a recent campaign, Trump made strong statements about immigration, saying that immigrants were "poisoning the blood of our country." This statement has not only attracted widespread attention, but also sparked controversy. At a campaign rally in Durham, New Hampshire, he noted that in addition to immigrants from South America, there is also an influx of immigrants from Asia and Africa into the United States. Mr. Trump used the lyrics of a song to liken immigrants to deadly snakes, a metaphor that has sparked discussion.
It is worth noting that Trump's use of the "poisoning blood" did not appear in the speeches sent to ** before the campaign, so it is unclear whether these statements were planned in advance or improvised. In addition, Trump previously used the same language in an interview with The Pulse of Nations, drawing criticism from the leaders of the Anti-Defamation League for calling his remarks a manifestation of racism and xenophobia.
Yale University professor Jason Stanley pointed out that Trump's repeated use of this language is dangerous, and he compared Trump's rhetoric to that of Nazi leader Hitler, noting that such repeated dangerous rhetoric would make it more normalized and pose a threat to the safety of immigrants in the United States.
As the frontrunner among the Republican Party's 2024** candidates, Trump has made border security a major theme of his campaign. He pledged that, if re-elected, he would reinstate the tough immigration policies of his term and further restrict immigration. At the same time, the incumbent Biden has been seeking to develop a more humane and orderly immigration policy, but is challenged by a record number of immigrants, which is seen as a weakness in his re-election campaign. Trump has repeatedly used inflammatory language to describe border issues and slammed Biden's policies on the campaign trail, promising to stop the invasion of the southern border and begin the largest domestic deportation operation in U.S. history.
