During a recent campaign rally speech, former President Donald Trump vowed to take strong action and shut down the “invasion” of America through the southern border immediately when elected, using the full sweet of tools at the executive branch’s disposal to take whatever dramatic action is necessary to do so.
Trump also called out the “caravans” of illegal immigrants headed toward America as being composed of some very dangerous people, such as former prisoners from the Congo and MS-13 gang members, who recently lost their safe haven in El Salvador to the strong anti-gang actions of Ela Salvadorian President Bukele.
Beginning, Trump said, “But we’re going to do things immediately within 24 hours. We’re going to stop the invasion of our southern and, by the way, our northern border, which is not great either. But we are going to stop immediately. And we have great people like Brandon Judd, Border Patrol, the people at ICE Tom Homan who’s fantastic central casting. We have great they can do it within 48 hours.“
Continuing, he claimed to have invented the term “caravan,” saying, “Like the caravan. I told you, that’s on its way up. They wouldn’t have caravan, where, they had caravans. When I — I came up with the name, I believe they’ll say, “Oh, it wasn’t really you. It was somebody”– I believe I came up with the name because they started forming these caravans.“
That’s when he got to describing who the caravans are composed of, in his view, saying, “And they don’t put their best in those caravans. You know, these countries are very smart. They put people that they don’t want to have in El Salvador and Honduras, in Guatemala and other places, and many of them now are coming from (sniff, pause) parts of Africa. Yesterday, they had 18 people they got from the Congo and four of them were from, four of them were from jails.”
He further commented on the dangers posed by those individuals, saying, “By the way, our prisoners are like the nicest people in the world compared to some of the prisoners that our country has taken right now. Our prisoners are refined, wonderful people, even if they were murderers compared to the people that are coming out of some of these cells from MS13, from South America, from Africa. They are destroying our country and we have to get them out.”

Further commenting on the matter on Truth Social, former President Trump said, “The current invasion at the Southern Border is unsustainable…For any radical left charity, non-profit, or so called aid organizations supporting these caravans and illegal aliens, we will prosecute them for their participation in human trafficking, child smuggling, and every other crime we can find…”
He continued, “On every policy from the border to energy, from immigration to education, Crooked Joe Biden always takes the side that helps America’s enemies…and now we know why—because Crooked Joe Biden is corrupt, incompetent, and he’s totally compromised!“
