Trump Says If Elected, Migrants Will Have To ‘Love Our Country’

Former US President Donald Trump warned Hispanic voters that under his government, migrants must “love our country” in order to be admitted on Wednesday, October 16.

Trump, 78, made the remarks to Hispanic voters during a town hall session in Miami, before emphasizing his support for legal immigration.

“We want workers and we want them to come in, but they have to come in legally,” the former president said at the forum hosted by Univision and broadcast in Spanish.

“They have to love our country. They have to love you, love our people,” Trump told a 64-year-old California farmer concerned about the continued availability of migrant labor and food prices if the former president were to win in November.

“The problem with this administration is they’ve totally lost control,” he added.

Trump claimed that the Harris-Biden administration’s increase in illegal border crossings has placed Hispanics in a difficult situation.

“A lot of the jobs that you have and that other people have are being taken by these people that are coming in, and the African American population and the Hispanic population in particular, are losing jobs now because millions of people are coming in,” the GOP nominee said.

“They’re coming in, but they’re also coming in largely – in tremendous numbers coming in – out of mental institutions,” Trump claimed.

“They’re emptying out jails,” he continued. “Their jails are being let into our country – from Venezuela – but not just South America, from all over the world.”

“Nobody wants that,” Trump told the farmer. “And that doesn’t include the terrorists.”

“We have to have people that are great people coming into our country,” he argued.

“I want them in even more than you do. And we’re going to make it so that people can come into our country legally.”

According to a New York Times/Siena College survey issued earlier this week, Vice President Kamala Harris leads Trump by 19 percentage points (56%-37%), among likely Hispanic voters.

However, among Hispanic men, Harris leads Trump by three points (48%-45%).

The survey results show a dramatic drop in Hispanic support for Democrats compared to previous election cycles.
