Description
LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Former President and GOP candidate for President Donald Trump focused part of his one-hour speech in Las Vegas on immigration issues.
The former President highlighted problems at the border, the number of illegal immigrants crossing the border and the crimes committed by a limited number of those immigrants.
“Our country is under invasion just like an army,” the former President said.
Trump talked about Venezuelan gangs accused of taking over an apartment building in Colorado.
“When I return to the White House I will launch a special task force of elite federal law enforcement and charge them with crushing and eliminating every foreign gang and organized crime network that is conquering our country,” the former President said in his speech. “Can you believe I have to say this?We are going to liberate parts of our country.”
The former President also spoke about the effects on the community of Springfield, Ohio after nearly 20,000 Haitian immigrants have been relocated to the town of about 60,000 people.
“I’m angry about Venezuelan gangs taking over Aurora, Colo., and I’m angry about illegal Haitian migrants taking over Springfield, Ohio, " Trump said. He added that Americans are "damn angry too."
THis was Trump's first visit to Nevada since Tuesday's debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.
This was also his first public campaign rally in the critical swing state since holding an outdoor event at Sunset Park in June, before President Joe Biden dropped out of the race.
Trump was last in Las Vegas in August to speak about his "no taxes on tips pledge" at a restaurant, though that appearance was limited to only press and invited guests.
The Cook Political Report rates Nevada as a toss-up in the November election, and recent polling shows Trump and Harris neck and neck.
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5.
