Washington – During Trump's presidential campaign, he and his allies repeated misleading or false demands on immigration, including this president Biden at the time, migrants had secretly flew into the United States that Fema had used disaster relief for migrants and that many immigrants are violent criminals.
On Tuesday, Trump repeated these claims and more during an almost two-hour speech on the congresses' first than 47th presidential, who often returned to one of his favorite topics.
“The media and our friends in the Democratic Party kept saying that we need new laws. We must have laws to secure the border. However, it turned out that everything we really needed was a new president, ”said Trump to applause from the Republican legislators.
There were familiar faces in the audience – people who scored Trump on immigration. Among them were the mother and sister of sheets of Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was killed last year in Athens, Georgia, by a recently arrived Venezolan immigrant.
Immigration officers said Jose Ibarra, the man who was convicted of murder to Riley, had illegally joined the United States and was allowed to stay in the country while pursuing his immigration. Riley's family joined Trump on the campaign path. A legislative template named after it, which prescribes the federal prison for immigrants who are charged for theft crimes, was signed by Trump in his second term.
Alexis Nungaray, the mother of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was killed in Houston last year, was also present. Two other recently arrived immigrants from Venezuela were accused of having murdered them. Alexis Nungaray joined Trump last year During an election campaign event At the southern US border.
Some of Trump's claims on Tuesday for immigration were previously exposed.
Trump listed what he listed as unnecessary federal programs that were discovered by Elon Muskt Department of Government Efficiency, and referred to “59 million US dollars for illegal foreign hotel rooms in New York City”.
According to Musk, millions of dollars that are intended for disaster help were illegally spent by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to accommodate migrants in “high -end” hotels. The claim led to the discharge of four federal employees and to suspend payments to New York for migrant apartments.
But it was not a Fema money – the money is managed by the FEMA on behalf of the US -Zoll- und border protection for its protection and service program, which supports local governments and non -profit organizations that help with the arrival of migrants. In the 2024 financial year, the average daily interest rate for rooms was concluded as part of an agreement with the Hotel Assn. from New York City cost 156 US dollars loud A report by the City Compotroller office.
Similarly, Trump falsely accused Trump in the past year of having selected disaster financing according to migrants.
Trump criticized the records on the southern border under bidges and said: “Many of them were murderers, human dealers, gang members and other criminals from the streets of dangerous cities around the world.”
Researchers have found that undocumented immigrants commit crime much lower installments as local citizens.
“Joe Biden not only opened our borders,” said Trump on Tuesday. “He flew illegal extraterrestrials over them to overwhelm our schools, hospitals and communities across the country.”
The claim This bidden flew hundreds of thousands of migrants secretly into the USA, increased by a right -wing group called Center for Immigration Studies that was actually referred to people who were approved and approved for trips as part of a program that was approved in people from certain countries who were able to finance their own flight tickets.
Even Springfield, Ohio, celebrated a flashing comeback in Trump's speech on Tuesday.
During a debate last year with his democratic opponent, the then Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump repeated a false virus rumor that Haitian immigrants in Sprinfield “live the pets there”. Springfield was flooded with joke bombing, which forced closures, evacuations and closures in hospitals, schools and government buildings.
“Whole cities such as Aurora, Colorado and Springfield, Ohio, were impressed by the weight of the migrant profession and the corruption that nobody has seen before,” said Trump on Tuesday. “Beautiful cities destroyed.”
Some misleading statements were new. For example, Trump said that February said “by far the lowest” number of illegal border crossings “. News Outlets reported that the border patrol recorded around 8,300 arrests from migrants, attempted to illegally cross the border between the USA-Mexico between the entry stations.
Own data from the border patrol Back to the 1925 financial year shows several cases in which the average monthly arrests under 8,000 per month, most recently in 1967, fell.
Angelica Salas, managing director of the coalition for humane immigrant rights in Los Angeles, said that Trump's statements about immigration were not surprising.
“It is obsessed with 0.04% of the population (13 million undocumented) and wants to put all diseases of this nation on their laps,” said Salas in an explanation after the speech.
