Trump claims US is ‘a garbage can for the world’ – Washington Examiner
Former President Donald Trump addressed a rally in Tempe, Arizona, where he expressed strong opposition to illegal immigration and its perceived negative impact on the United States. He criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of opening the southern border to what he described as an “invasion of criminal migrants.” Trump claimed that individuals from various countries, including Venezuela and the Congo, are entering the U.S., which he referred to as a “dumping ground” for the world. He asserted that this remark was unprecedented for him and emphasized his growing anger regarding the state of the country due to immigration issues. Trump’s statements reflect his ongoing campaign themes as he prepares for potential 2024 presidential elections.
Trump claims US is ‘a garbage can for the world’ during Arizona rally on immigration
Former President Donald Trump railed against illegal immigration‘s harmful impact on the nation’s global standards during a Tempe, Arizona, rally Thursday evening.
Trump first accused Vice President Kamala Harris of throwing open the nation’s southern border to “an invasion of criminal migrants from prisons and jails.”
“From all over the world, from Venezuela to the Congo in Africa, lot of people coming out of the Congo, not just South America. They’re coming from 181 countries as of yesterday,” Trump claimed.

“And we’re a dumping ground,” he continued. “We’re like a garbage can for the world that’s what’s happened.”
The former president claimed that this was “the first time I’ve ever said that,” referring to the nation as a dumping ground.
“And every time I come up and talk about what they’ve done to a country, I get angrier and angrier,” said Trump.
In addition to lambasting Harris over illegal border crossings, Trump also took a moment to slam Harris’s CNN town hall Wednesday evening. The television network also offered a town hall event to Trump after he declined a second debate against Harris. But Trump did not agree to the solo town hall.
“I watched last night. She did a town hall. Honestly, it was pathetic. It was pathetic. There’s never been anything like that,” said Trump.
“Then yet another incoherent train wreck of a television interview yesterday,” Trump said later during the rally. “Kamala Harris stated, once again, that she opposes any plan to send her illegal aliens back home.”
During the town hall, Harris reiterated her support for a bipartisan border security bill but dodged when asked about building a southern wall at the border.
“I want to strengthen our border,” she said.
