- Trump said in his CPAC speech that gangs are ‘invading’ the country
- ‘They come from Asia. They come from the Middle East,” he said
- He said violent criminals are ‘nicer than the people coming in’
Former President Donald Trump predicted tens of millions of migrants will flood into the country if President Biden is re-elected, saying violent incarcerated criminals are “nicer” than people coming in.
Trump compared the migrants to criminals in his speech at CPAC, where he said “ruthless mobs” would “invade” the country if Biden was re-elected. He raised the issue early on in remarks that went well past the hour mark.
“Suddenly we start to like our prisoners and our terrible violent criminals because they are nicer than the people coming in.” They come from Asia. They come from the Middle East. They come from all over the world, they come from Africa, and we as a country will not stand for that anymore,” Trump said.
‘We won’t accept this anymore. They are destroying our country.”

Trump said people were coming from “countries no one had ever heard of,” and that people were coming from “prisons in Congo.”
“Let me tell you, the only good thing about it is that our prisoners and our bad gang members look like really nice people by comparison. That’s the only good thing,” he said.
It was just his latest indictment of the influx of migrants, in a speech in which he described a bleak future if President Biden wins a second term coming on the day of the South Carolina primary.
‘The worst is yet to come. Our country is going to see levels that were unimaginable,” Trump said, reversing the title of the Frank Sinatra hit.
“With four more years of Biden, the hordes of illegal aliens crossing our borders will exceed 40 to 50 million people,” he claimed.

Federal Correctional Institution, Allenwood Low is one of several federal U.S. prisons. Trump said migrants made American prisoners look “nicer.”
“Medicare, Social Security, Medicare and public education will collapse and collapse,” he said.
“Ruthless gangs will invade the suburbs even more,” Trump said, before switching to say that suburban women “will love me so much.”
“The gangs will invade your territory. He said Hamas and Antifa “will terrorize our streets… China will dominate us.”
He also referred to the authorities he invoked as president, citing health concerns as a way to deny entry to migrants seeking asylum.
We don’t want this contamination in our country,” Trump said.
Trump’s migrant rhetoric has long been a powerful political tool, but it has also sparked backlash, such as in 2016 when he said Mexico was sending “rapists” into the country and first called for a “Muslim ban.”
It comes during an election year when voters see immigration as one of their top concerns. President Biden himself has taken a tougher public stance, and a failed deal supporting Ukraine and Israel included new funding for border agents and judges.
