Former President Donald Trump took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden administration’s handling of illegal immigration during a town hall with undecided Hispanic voters, emphasizing that Hispanic voters are among those most opposed to the border crisis. Trump highlighted the dangers of illegal immigration and the impact it has on communities across America.
At a Glance:
- Trump criticized the Biden-Harris administration for releasing criminals and allowing unchecked illegal immigration.
- The former president claimed that Hispanic voters are “most against” illegal immigration and support strong border control.
- During the town hall, Trump answered questions on immigration, national debt, and abortion, aiming to secure growing support among Hispanic voters.
In an hour-long event hosted by Univision, Trump addressed concerns from Hispanic voters, arguing that the Biden-Harris administration has caused chaos at the border, releasing “hundreds of thousands of people” without proper vetting. “The people that are most against it are the Hispanic people,” Trump stated, referring to the effects of illegal immigration on jobs and local economies.

When asked about who would be responsible for farm and produce jobs if illegal immigrants were deported, Trump reiterated his stance on legal immigration, stressing the need for a system that allows people to enter the country legally. Trump also tackled broader concerns from Hispanic voters, including the national debt and economic growth, saying that “growth” is the solution to the country’s financial problems.
As Trump continues to make gains with Hispanic voters in key battleground states like Arizona and Nevada, polls show his message on immigration resonates strongly with this demographic. Trump’s appearance at the Univision town hall comes after Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on the same platform the week prior, with both candidates vying for the influential Hispanic vote ahead of the 2024 election.
