Former President of the United States and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says he is considering completing the “largest deportation in American history” if re-elected in 2024.
Trump was defeated by Joe Biden in 2020 after he served only one term, relaunching the Democrats back to power after Barack Obama’s 8-year rule.
Speaking at a rally in Reno, Nevada, Mr Trump also called Biden a “low-IQ individual” and the “worst, most incompetent and most corrupt president” in the history of the United States.
A day earlier, the former US leader said that undocumented immigrants were “poisoning the blood of our country”, during a campaign event in New Hampshire where he railed against the record number of migrants attempting to cross the US border illegally.
In Nevada, Mr Trump reiterated his pledge to be tough on immigration.
“Given the unprecedented millions of Biden illegal aliens who are invading our country, it is only common sense that when I’m re-elected, we will begin and we have no choice, the largest deportation operation in American history,” he said.
“We will have to.
“On my first day back in the White House, I will terminate every open-borders policy of the Biden administration and I will invoke the Alien Enemies Act to remove all known or suspected gang members, drug dealers or cartel members from the United States, ending the scourge of illegal alien gang violence once and for all.”
Mr. Trump is a frontrunner to be the Republican candidate for the third consecutive election, after defeating Hillary Clinton in 2016 and losing to Mr. Biden in 2020.
During his rally in Nevada, Mr. Trump took a swipe at Biden, whom he called the “most incompetent and most corrupt president in the history of our country”.
